Özet
Virtual and human patient simulation methods offer an effective way to increase patient safety, reduce the incidence of errors, and improve clinical decision-making skills. The study was conducted to compare the effects of virtual and human patient simulation methods on performance, simulation-based learning, anxiety, and self-confidence with clinical decision-making scores of nursing students. A quasi-experimental, stratified, randomized controlled study was conducted with third-year nursing students. The students (n = 166) were divided into experimental and control groups. The difference between the pretest-posttest scores of intragroup nursing anxiety and self-confidence with clinical decision-making and total and sub-scale scores of in-group simulation-based learning were statistically significant (P <.05). Performance scores were found to be statistically significantly high in the virtual patient simulation group (P <.001). It was determined that virtual patient simulation was superior to other methods in terms of nursing anxiety and self-confidence with clinical decision-making, simulation-based learning, and performance scores.
