Brief Summary

The action research aims to enhance clinical nursing skills of nursing students through the implementation of the SimCapture cloud management system. Research has found that traditional teaching methods are insufficient in cultivating students' clinical skills, and students' learning characteristics and technological developments have also placed new demands on teaching. Although the research team previously attempted blended learning and simulation-based teaching, students' technical grades have shown a declining trend. To address this issue, the researchers plan to implement the SimCapture system and, based on observational learning theory, design teaching activities to enhance students' learning motivation and self-efficacy, ultimately improving their clinical skills.

Conditions

Motivation; Clinical Skills Training; Nursing Students; OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) Scores

  The OSCE content includes preparation of technical equipment and technical procedures, which will be evaluated using a checklist by examiners. The checklist has undergone validity analysis by five nursing experts. Scores range from 0 to 100.

  At week 8 (mid-semester) and at week 16 (end of semester)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Self-Efficacy Questionnaire

  Weekly at weeks 1-17 of semester, within 3 days after each class

• Learning Motivation Questionnaire

  At week 1 (beginning of semester), week 9 (after midterm exam), and week 18 (final exam)]

SimCapture-Based Nursing Skills Training

EXPERIMENTAL

Behavioral: Cloud-based learning platform

Interventions

Cloud-based learning platform BEHAVIORAL

The SimCapture system is the technological backbone of the intervention, transforming the way clinical skills are taught and learned. 1. System Access and Structure:Both faculty and students are provided with individual accounts to access the SimCapture platform. 2. The system facilitates the organization of students into groups, enabling collaborative learning and peer feedback. 3. Digital Evaluation Tools:Faculty develop standardized, digital tools within SimCapture to assess student performance of clinical skills.These tools ensure consistent and objective evaluation. 4. Recording and Feedback:Students record their practice sessions using personal devices (e.g., smartphones).These recordings are uploaded to the SimCapture cloud, creating a repository of learning resources. 5. Faculty use tablets to provide specific, time-stamped feedback on student performance directly within the SimCapture system.

Model Details: 1. The SimCapture system is used as a platform for managing, recording, and evaluating student learning. 2. Both teachers and students have individual accounts to access the system. 3. Teachers create digital evaluation tools for each skill. 4. Students record their practice sessions and upload the videos to the SimCapture cloud. 5. Teachers use tablets to provide feedback on student performance within the system. 6. Students can review their own videos, as well as those of their peers, along with teacher feedback. 7. SimCapture is used both within the skills lab and remotely, allowing students to practice and review independently. 8. The system also allows for learning portfolios to track student progress.
