Effects of Simulation Fidelity on Patient-Centered Care Competency, Empathy, and Learning Outcomes in Nursing Students: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Sponsor: Atılım University
Summary
This randomized controlled trial examines the effects of simulation fidelity on nursing students' patient-centered care competency, empathy, learning self-confidence, and satisfaction. Participants will be randomly assigned to two groups: one group will practice with a standardized patient (actor) and the other with a manikin in a myocardial infarction scenario. All sessions will follow the same structured simulation protocol including briefing, simulation, and debriefing phases. The study aims to provide evidence on whether the type of simulated patient affects learning outcomes in nursing education.

Interventions
Simulation-Based Nursing Education
A structured simulation protocol consisting of education and briefing (45 min), simulation (10-15 min), and debriefing (20 min) phases applied to both groups. The standardized patient group uses a trained actor; the manikin group uses a high-fidelity manikin in an identical myocardial infarction scenario.
