Summary

This study looks at whether using a real actor (standardized patient) or a high-fidelity manikin in simulation training changes how well nursing students learn. Forty-five students will be randomly assigned to one of the two groups and go through the same heart attack scenario. Researchers will measure empathy, patient-centered care skills, confidence, and satisfaction to see which method works better.

What this could mean

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

What this could lead to
If it works, this could help nursing schools decide whether to use actors or manikins for training, potentially improving how students learn to care for patients.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 45 students from one university, so results may not apply to all nursing programs. It measures learning outcomes, not actual patient care.
