NCT07262424
Simulation is a cornerstone of health sciences education, with debriefing being its most critical component for fostering clinical skills. While various debriefing styles exist, there is limited evidence comparing the effectiveness of instructor-centered (ICT) versus learner-centered (LCT) approaches, specifically on the development of clinical judgment in nursing students.

The goal of this randomized controlled trial was to determine whether stoma-care training using standardized patients, as compared with low-fidelity mannequins, improved meaningful learning self-awareness, perceived learning, and practical stoma-care skill levels in oncology nurses at a 600-bed tertiary oncology education and research hospital in Ankara, Turkey. The main questions it aimed to answer were: Did standardized-patient simulation produce greater gains in meaningful learning self-awareness? Did it yield higher perceived learning scores? Did it result in larger improvements in stoma-care skill levels? Researchers compared Group M (standardized patient) to Group K (low-fidelity mannequin) to evaluate which method more effectively enhanced nurses' cognitive and technical outcomes. Participants completed a 10-item demographic and background survey, answered pre-training assessments on all three scales, attended a two-hour didactic session on stoma fundamentals and evidence-based care, received two hours of hands-on practice with their assigned modality, and completed immediate post-training assessments using the same instruments.
NCT06689475
This randomized controlled study aims to determine the effect of simulation on the cardiac auscultation competence of nursing students. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Simulation is effective in developing the cardiac auscultation competence of nursing students. * The psychoacoustic approach is effective in developing the cardiac auscultation competence of nursing students. One week after the 2-hour theoretical lecture, all three groups will be taken simultaneously to a 3-hour laboratory practice for cardiac auscultation. An instructor will lead each group to ensure coordination. The psychoacoustic approach group will listen to normal heart sounds (S1, S2), abnormal heart sounds (S3, S4) and murmur sounds from the audio file uploaded to their mobile phones in the laboratory environment through headphones for 500 repetitions each. The simulation group will practice auscultation of heart sounds in a one-to-one and repetitive manner, working with a high reality simulator. Trainers will act as facilitators during the cardiac auscultation practice of the students in the intervention groups. The control group will continue with the standard education.
NCT06775899
Brief Summary: The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if a cost-effective, PC-based ultrasound training tool is as effective as a traditional, medium-cost ultrasound simulator for teaching third-year medical students thoracic and abdominal ultrasound skills. This study focuses on improving access to high-quality ultrasound training in educational settings with limited resources. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does the PC-based tool help participants improve their ability to optimize ultrasound images in a way comparable to the traditional simulator? 2. Can participants using the PC-based tool identify and interpret pathological conditions with the same accuracy as those using the traditional simulator? Participants are third-year medical students enrolled in a structured internship. They will: 1. Watch educational videos covering key concepts in thoracic and abdominal ultrasound imaging. 2. Rotate through training stations where they will practice using either the PC-based tool or the traditional simulator. 3. Perform hands-on exercises with healthy volunteers to practice image acquisition and recognition of anatomical structures. 4. Complete pre- and post-training assessments to measure their progress in skills such as image optimization and identifying pathological conditions. This study aims to explore whether a low-cost digital solution can provide equal educational value, offering a practical alternative to traditional simulators in resource-limited settings.
NCT05213260
College of Medicine, DAU University, is a private college, located in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, which launched its activity in 2013. Since that time, there is a continuous increase in the number of students, especially during the last three years after the graduation of the first batch, which is not associated with the recruitment of new faculty. Of course, this increase in the number of students has affected greatly the interaction between the instructors and the students. Another challenging point is the short time assigned for most of the preclinical years' courses as most of our blocks have 5-8 weeks duration with a lot of work needed to be done to help students demonstrate mastery of the intended learning outcomes. As a response to these problems, the investigators sought to pilot testing flipping the classroom of clinical skill sessions as a new educational approach in our college.
