Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study will utilize a convergent mixed-methods design. A quasi-experimental approach will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of EMSS in improving clinical decision-making skills among nursing students.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This study will utilize a convergent mixed-methods design. A quasi-experimental approach will be used to evaluate the effectiveness of EMSS in improving clinical decision-making skills among nursing students.

The study will be conducted at the University of Hafr Albatin (UHB), located in Saudi Arabia. The institution is equipped with simulation labs and a digital learning management system, including access to a simulated EHR environment suitable for micro-scenario deployment.

Micro-Scenarios

The Embedded Micro-Scenario Simulations (EMSS) for nursing students include a series of engaging clinical cases designed to bridge the theory-practice gap.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

The Embedded Micro-Scenario Simulations (EMSS)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

he Embedded Micro-Scenario Simulations (EMSS) for nursing students include a series of engaging clinical cases designed to bridge the theory-practice gap. In Prioritization of Care, students must prioritize three patients with varying degrees of urgency, honing their critical thinking skills. The Patient Education on Discharge scenario tasks them with effectively communicating self-care instructions. In End-of-Life Care, students provide compassionate support to a terminally ill patient and facilitate family discussions.
