Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Nursing Education
  • Simulation Technology

Background:

  • Patient safety and clinical decision-making are critical in nursing.
  • Simulation-based learning (SBL) is a key pedagogical tool.
  • Comparing virtual and human patient simulation is essential for optimizing training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of virtual patient simulation (VPS) versus human patient simulation (HPS).
  • To evaluate the impact on nursing students' performance, SBL, anxiety, and clinical decision-making confidence.
  • To determine the superior simulation method for nursing education.

Main Methods:

  • A quasi-experimental, stratified, randomized controlled study.
  • Involved 166 third-year nursing students divided into experimental and control groups.
  • Assessed pretest-posttest scores for anxiety, self-confidence, clinical decision-making, and SBL.

Main Results:

  • Statistically significant improvements (P < .05) were observed in nursing anxiety, self-confidence, clinical decision-making, and SBL scores within groups.
  • Performance scores were significantly higher in the virtual patient simulation group (P < .001).
  • Virtual patient simulation demonstrated superiority across all measured outcomes.

Conclusions:

  • Virtual patient simulation is more effective than human patient simulation for nursing education.
  • VPS enhances clinical decision-making, simulation-based learning, and student confidence.
  • VPS effectively reduces nursing anxiety and improves overall student performance.
