About this trial

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.

Treatments tested in this trial

  • The Embedded Micro-Scenario Simulations (EMSS)

    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.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Clinical Decision-Making

This scale was originally developed by Jenkins (1983). Designed specifically for nursing students in the United States, the scale evaluates students' perceptions of clinical decision-making based on their self-reported experiences.

Time frame
3 months
2

Academic Motivation

The Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) is the most popular tool for evaluating academic motivation. (Orsini et al., 2015). A 7-point Likert scale is used to rate each of the 28 items. The self-determination theory, which emphasizes the approach to human motivation and personality, is the theoretical foundation of the AMS
