High-Fidelity Simulation Versus Case Study: Which Is Best for Practical Nursing Students?
Abstract
There is a gap in the literature regarding how simulation affects critical thinking skills for practical nursing students. A quasi-experimental two-group pretest-posttest study was conducted to determine the effects of high-fidelity simulation and interactive case studies on critical thinking scores of 29 practical nursing students. Both interventions had significant results (p = .001) between pretest and posttest; however, significance was not found regarding posttest scores between the high-fidelity simulation and interactive case study groups. Identifying pedagogical strategies that increase critical thinking skills for certificate-seeking practical nursing students is necessary to provide excellent nursing care and promote better patient outcomes.
