Effects of Scenario-based Health Assessment Simulation Training on Nursing Students

This study was conducted to examine the effect of scenario-based health assessment practice education on nursing students' communication skills, problem -solving ability, critical thinking disposition, and academic achievement. The study participants included 35 students in the experimental group and 35 students in the control group. The experimental group received scenario-based learning for seven weeks, after which the effectiveness of the course was evaluated. The results showed that the experimental group demonstrated significant improvement in all areas compared to the control group (p<.001), confirming the effectiveness of scenario-based learning. This suggests that scenario-based learning is effective in enhancing problem-solving skills, communication abilities, critical thinking dispositions, and academic achievement in nursing problem situations. This study provides important implications for the design of nursing education programs and can serve as foundational data for education and research aimed at developing essential competencies for nurses.
