NCT ID NCT07184112

First seen Jun 24, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study tests whether using short, realistic patient scenarios (called Embedded Micro-Scenario Simulations) in nursing training can improve students' clinical decision-making and academic motivation. Sixty male nursing students will be randomly assigned to either the simulation training or standard teaching. The goal is to see if these mini-cases help bridge the gap between classroom theory and real-world practice.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

Embedded Micro-Scenario Simulations (EMSS) - short clinical cases used in training

What this could lead to

If successful, this could show that brief, realistic scenarios help nursing students make better decisions and stay motivated, potentially improving nursing education.

What could go wrong

This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 male students, so results may not apply to all nursing students. It measures self-reported skills, not actual patient outcomes.
