About this trial
This study will test whether an interactive mobile game-based simulation program helps first-year nursing students improve their decision-making and problem-solving skills. Students will complete knowledge, decision-making, and problem-solving assessments before and after taking part in a 4-week program (8 sessions) that uses mobile game scenarios to practice clinical decisions in a safe, simulated setting. The results will show whether this type of training is more effective than traditional teaching methods for building these skills.
