Summary

This study looked at whether a simulation-based lab program could help nursing students feel more competent and less anxious when caring for children. Sixty third-year nursing students took part. The program included hands-on practice with tasks like taking vital signs, hygiene care, and giving medications. Researchers measured students' perceived competence, self-efficacy, and anxiety levels.

What this could mean

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

Active substance: simulation-based pediatric nursing laboratory education
What this could lead to: If successful, this approach could improve how nursing students learn pediatric skills, potentially leading to better patient care.
What could go wrong: This is a small, single-center study with only 60 participants. Results may not apply to other schools or settings, and the focus is on student learning, not direct patient outcomes.
