About this study
Official title: Enhancing Clinical Reasoning Competency for Undergraduate Nursing Students Using Virtual Simulation-based Education Based on the Rasch Model
Enhancing Clinical Reasoning Competency for Undergraduate Nursing Students Using Virtual Simulation-based Education based on the Rasch model
Aims: Clinical reasoning is a core nursing competency that involves analyzing patient-related data and providing appropriate nursing practices. Simulation-based education is effective in improving the clinical reasoning competencies and communication skills of nursing students. This study aimed to verify the effectiveness of virtual simulation-based education.
Read the detailed description
Methods: This study used a single-group pre- and post-test experimental design to verify the effectiveness of virtual simulation-based education. Data were collected from June to September 2020. Thirty-six nursing students in the 3rd and 4th grades who understood the purpose of this study were selected as participants. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS Statistics 25.0 and Winsteps 3.68.2.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
virtual simulation-based education programOther
We used "vSim® for Nursing - Nursing Medical-Surgical" as the virtual simulation-based education program. Four modules were included: (a) acute myocardial infarction, (b) diabetes mellitus, (c) transfusion, and (4) asthma. Each module learning sessions was conducted based on scenarios, which consisted of five steps: Suggested reading, Pre-simulation quiz, vSim, Post-simulation quiz, and Guide reflection questions. For each module, the intervention was performed for two hours. The participants attended four module learning sessions and received eight hours of training. Debriefing using guided reflection questions were completed in the form of a team reflection, followed by an instructor-learner discussion and feedback for 20 minutes of each module.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Nurses Clinical Reasoning Scale
The Nurses Clinical Reasoning Scale (NCRS) includes 15 items rated on a five-point Likert scale (1=Strongly disagree, 5=Strongly agree, min:15 \& max:75) (Liou et al., 2016). We used the Korean version of the NCRS in this study (Joung \& Han, 2017). Higher scores indicated better clinical reasoning. Cronbach's α was 0.94 for the original NCRS, and 0.93 for the Korean version of the NCRS.
Measured: 4month
Communication Skills Scale
The Global Interpersonal Communication Competence Scale (GICC-15) includes 15 items rated on a five-point Likert scale (1= strongly disagree to 5= strongly agree. min:15 \& max:75) (Rubin \& Martin, 1994). We used the Korean version of the GICC-15 (Hur, 2003). Cronbach's α in Hur's (2003) study was 0.72.
Measured: 4month
