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.
