Effects of Community Nursing Simulation Education on Nursing Core Competencies, Clinical Judgment, and Clinical Performance of Nursing College Students
Open accessAbstract
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of community nursing simulation education on the nursing core competencies, clinical performance, and clinical judgment in home-visit nursing of nursing college students. A nonequivalent control group pretest–post-test design was used. Data were collected in August 2024 from the control group (n = 65) and in February 2025 from the experimental group (n = 64), with both groups comprising fourth-year students older than 20 years and from the same nursing college in Korea. Data analysis included an independent t-test carried out using SPSS 25.0 software. We found significant differences between the control and experimental groups in terms of the students’ nursing core competence (t = 4.88, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 0.86), clinical judgment (t = 4.53, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 0.80), and clinical competence (t = 4.52, p < 0.001, Cohen’s d = 0.00). The simulation education program applied in this study can be utilized as an intervention for nursing college students and be further developed for nursing students from other universities.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
