NCT Number: NCT06722248
Study type: clinical trial - randomized control trial Primary purpose: to explore the effectiveness of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) interventions, specifically scenario-based training with pre-briefing and de-briefing on (1) knowledge and self-efficacy (2) problem solving abilities, (3) the learning experience among nursing students in baby care and breastfeeding, as compared to traditional training.
Primary outcome: breastfeeding self-efficacy scores and knowledge in the intervention compared to the control group Secondary outcome: Simulation Design Scale and Education Practices Questionnaire

Background and Rationale of Study:
Nursing students commonly reported feeling unprepared in maternity and infant care clinical setting or lack competencies. Additionally, nurses are concerned about the clinical reasoning skills of new graduates, which may lead to poor quality of infants or maternal outcomes. Despite this importance, it is difficult to provide more clinical opportunities especially during COVID pandemics. High-fidelity simulation-based learning (HFS) can help to bridge the gap between theory and practice, with manikin citing the similarities to practice in a 'real' situation. By incorporating different scenarios, prebriefing and debriefing into the HFS, students can enhance their learning experience. However, there is a lack of studies specifically examining the use of HFS in baby care and breastfeeding among nursing students. The impact of HFS on learning outcomes, including knowledge and skills, problem solving abilities, and learning experience are unclear.

Exclusion criteria
The intervention is a two-hour high-fidelity simulation training session focusing on newborn assessment, care practices, skin-to-skin contact, and breastfeeding. It uses SimBaby mannequins and breastfeeding models to mimic the hospital environment. Scenarios are tailored to nursing students' learning levels and reviewed by experienced midwives.
The training includes:
Prebriefing: Introduction of learning objectives, scenario background, simulation familiarization, confidentiality discussions, and ground rules.
Intervention: Scenario-based training on baby care and breastfeeding. Debriefing: Plus-delta debriefing model reviewed by simulation educators. The training will be conducted in the nursing simulation laboratory.
Conventional training includes lecture, tutorial and basic lab with low-fidelity mannequins.
Time frame: 5min
37-items modified version was designed to estimate self-efficacy in performing tasks of different complexity, relating to breastfeeding support
For each question: minimum value = 1 and maximum value = 4 The higher scores mean a worst outcome (lower self efficacy).
Time frame: 4min
20 items
For each question: minimum value = -5 and maximum value = 5 The higher scores mean a better outcome (better knowledge).
Time frame: 3min
20 items and is used to evaluate simulation training design from the learners' perspective. The scale assesses various aspects such as objective, information, support, problem solving, feedback and fidelity in simulation
Use the following rating system when assessing the simulation design elements:
For each question: minimum value = 1 and maximum value = 5 The higher scores mean a better outcome (better design).
Rate each item based upon how important that item is to you.
For each question: minimum value = 1 and maximum value = 5 The higher scores mean a better outcome (more important).
Time frame: 3min
16 items and is used to access perceptions of education best practices' presence and importance in simulation training
Use the following rating system when assessing the simulation design elements:
For each question: minimum value = 1 and maximum value = 5 The higher scores mean a better outcome (better learning experience).
Rate each item based upon how important that item is to you.
For each question: minimum value = 1 and maximum value = 5 The higher scores mean a better outcome (more important).
