Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Learning
Time Frame: Pre-test (0 day), Post-test 1 (30th day), and Post-test 2 (60th day)
The assessment of the learning level during the intervention was measured by correcting the three unpublished case studies created using the interactive fiction methodology. Each case study consisted of 6 questions with 3 possible answers (1 point for the ideal answer, 0.5 points for the adequate answer and 0 points for the inadequate answer). For readability, the final scores were reconverted proportionally out of 10 before statistical analysis.
Decision-making
Time Frame: Pre-test (0 day), Post-test 1 (30th day), and Post-test 2 (60th day)
Measurement instrument: Clinical Decision-Making in Nursing Scale (CDMNS). It comprises the search for options or alternatives, information seeking and unbiased assimilation of new information, evaluation and re-evaluation of consequences, and probing of goals and values.
Quality of simulations
Time Frame: Post-test 1 (30th day), and Post-test 2 (60th day)
Measurement instrument: Simulation Design Scale (SDS). This scale measures students' perceptions of 5 dimensions related to simulation design: information, support, problem-solving, guided feedback and fidelity.
Secondary Outcomes
- Enjoyable experience(Pre-test (0 day), Post-test 1 (30th day), and Post-test 2 (60th day))
- Satisfaction(Post-test 1 (30th day), and Post-test 2 (60th day))
