About this trial

This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of an Integrated Learning Support System (ILSS) in preparing undergraduate nursing students for immersive simulated training in managing drug-induced nephrotoxicity. The study hypothesizes that the ILSS, which accommodates different learning styles, will be more effective in reducing stress and anxiety compared to the standard learning model (SLM). The research will involve a parallel randomized controlled trial with 96 students from two Brazilian institutions. The students will be divided into control and experimental groups, with the latter using the ILSS in addition to SLM during preparation. The study will assess outcomes such as knowledge acquisition, skill development, and stress reduction using various instruments, including the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric and DASS-21. The study's findings aim to validate the ILSS as a tool to enhance learning outcomes and reduce stress and anxiety, thereby promoting better professional development and patient safety in nursing practice.

Practical Performance in Realistic Simulation

This measure evaluates the student's ability to perform specific tasks and procedures accurately and efficiently in a simulated clinical environment. Assessment of student's practical performance during the realistic simulation scenario using a standardized performance checklist. Unit of Measure: Percentage of completed tasks according to the performance checklist. Measurement Tool: Standardized performance checklist

Time frame
During the simulated scenario.
2

Clinical Judgment on Prevention of Contrast-Induced Nephrotoxicity (baseline)

Assessment of clinical judgment regarding the prevention of contrast-induced nephrotoxicity using the Lasater Clinical Judgment Rubric - Brazilian Version (LCJR-BV). Unit of Measure: Scores on the LCJR-BV, which range from 11 to 44 points. The scoring system is designed to identify the level of clinical performance presented by an individual and includes four levels for each of the 11 dimensions: One point for each behavior considered "Novice" Two points for behavior considered "Developing" Three points for behavior considered "Proficient" Four points for behavior considered "Exemplary" Scores between 11 and 19 points are considered "Novice"; scores between 20 and 28 points are considered "Developing"; scores between 29 and 37 points are considered "Proficient"; and scores between 38 and 44 points are considered "Exemplary".

Time frame
Evaluated one week before participation in the simulation scenario
