Embedded micro-scenario simulations to boost nursing students' decision-making and motivation

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

The study uses a convergent mixed-methods design with a quasi-experimental comparison to test embedded micro-scenario simulations (EMSS) against standard simulation activities. Male undergraduate nursing students at the University of Hafr Albatin will take part in simulation sessions that incorporate brief, integrated micro-scenarios delivered via a simulated EHR and digital learning platform. Quantitative measures will include standardized clinical decision-making tasks and the Academic Motivation Scale, while qualitative interviews will explore student experiences and perceptions. Findings from both data types will be merged to see whether EMSS leads to better decision-making skills and higher academic motivation than usual simulation practice.
