TL;DR

There is a highly significant relationship between respondents’ level of simulation-based learning performance and their level of confidence as well as between peer collaboration and level of confidence across various constructs.

Abstract

A well-structured nursing curriculum plays a crucial role in shaping competent healthcare professionals by integrating theoretical knowledge with hands-on clinical practice. This study investigated simulation-based learning, peer collaboration, and the confidence levels of nursing students in the clinical setting. The study utilized a quantitative approach, specifically a descriptive correlational design. It was conducted to Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) program in the first congressional district of Zamboanga Del Sur. The respondents of the study were 120 nursing students, selected using the total enumeration sampling technique. Researcher-made instrument tools were used to conduct the study, namely the Level of Simulation-Based Learning, Level of Peer Collaboration, and Level of Confidence. Frequency and percentage, mean and standard deviation, and the Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient (Pearson's r) are the statistical procedures applied. The findings show that respondents' levels of simulation-based learning is very high. The respondents peer collaboration is also very high. Additionally, respondents demonstrated a generally high level of confidence. There is a highly significant relationship between respondents’ level of simulation-based learning performance and their level of confidence as well as between peer collaboration and level of confidence across various constructs. Three key predictors contribute to student level of confidence: a realistic environment, feedback and reflection, and shared responsibility. Students' self confidence in their ability to learn was shaped by a realistic atmosphere, feedback and reflection, and shared accountability. It is recommended that the institution adopt high-fidelity simulation-based learning to further strengthen the integration of simulation-based learning across all educational programs.

Examination of students’ perspectives regarding the effectiveness of clinical training: A research endeavor congruent with social responsibility

Clinical education is a fundamental component of medical training. This study examines the experiences of clinical students across various health professions to provide valuable insights for educational planners involved in designing effective and socially relevant clinical training curricula. This descriptive-analytical study employed a stratified random sampling method to select clinical students from the disciplines of nursing, midwifery, operating room technology, and pre-hospital emergency medicine at educational institutions in Shoushtar. Data were gathered using a standardized questionnaire designed to evaluate factors affecting the quality of clinical education. The data were analyzed using Pearson correlation, Chi-square tests, independent t-tests, and analysis of variance (ANOVA). A total of 190 students participated in the study, including 60 males and 130 females, with ages ranging from 18 to 39 years. Participants were enrolled in nursing ( n = 105), operating room technology ( n = 30), midwifery ( n = 40), and emergency medicine ( n = 15) programs. Male students reported significantly lower scores in areas related to student–teacher interactions, the learning environment, and evaluation criteria. Notably, overall clinical education scores demonstrated a decreasing trend with increasing age. Emergency medicine students achieved the highest scores, while those in nursing and operating room programs recorded the lowest. The mean scores related to educational objectives, instructor quality, student–teacher interactions, and the learning environment were lower among male students, older participants, and those enrolled in nursing and operating room programs. These findings highlight the need for targeted educational interventions to improve clinical training objectives, enhance the involvement of qualified instructors, and foster more supportive learning environments.
