Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of simulation training delivered within the framework of the clinical judgment model on nursing students' clinical decision-making skills and perceptions of nursing process competency. The research hypothesis is H1: Simulation training delivered within the framework of the clinical judgment model affects nursing students' clinical decision-making skills. H2: Simulation training delivered within the framework of the clinical judgment model affects nursing students' perceptions of nursing process competency. This study has a single-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. The research population will consist of third-year nursing students in the nursing department at a university located in northern Turkey. The sample will be selected using a convenience sampling method. Participants will first undergo a pretest and then participate in simulation-based training delivered within the framework of the clinical judgment model. A posttest will then be administered.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

• clinical decision-making skills

  Students' clinical decision-making skills will be measured using the Nursing Clinical Decision-Making Scale and the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric.

Study Arms (1)

Simulation-Based Training Group

EXPERIMENTAL

Nursing students will receive simulation-based training structured within the Clinical Judgment Model. The intervention aims to improve clinical skills and nursing process competencies. Participants will undergo pre-test measurements before the training session and post-test evaluations after the training.
