The Effect of Simulation-based Education Within the Framework of the Clinical Judgment Model on Nursing Students' Clinical Decision-making Skills and Perceptions of Nursing Process Competence.

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of simulation training delivered within the framework of the clinical judgment model on nursing students' clinical decision-making skills and perceptions of nursing process competency. The research hypothesis is H1: Simulation training delivered within the framework of the clinical judgment model affects nursing students' clinical decision-making skills. H2: Simulation training delivered within the framework of the clinical judgment model affects nursing students' perceptions of nursing process competency.

This study has a single-group pretest-posttest quasi-experimental design. The research population will consist of third-year nursing students in the nursing department at a university located in northern Turkey. The sample will be selected using a convenience sampling method. Participants will first undergo a pretest and then participate in simulation-based training delivered within the framework of the clinical judgment model. A posttest will then be administered.
