Improving Critical Thinking and Clinical Reasoning in Nursing Students Through Post-Operative Scenario-Based Simulation

The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether scenario-based simulation training can effectively enhance critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills in nursing students in Bangladesh, focusing on postoperative nursing management. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does scenario-based simulation training improve critical thinking and clinical reasoning skills in postoperative nursing management? 2. Is scenario-based simulation training more effective than traditional skills training in enhancing these skills? Researchers will compare an intervention group (receiving scenario-based simulation training) to a control group (receiving traditional skills training) to see if the intervention leads to greater improvements in critical thinking and clinical reasoning abilities. Participants will: * Attend lectures on postoperative nursing care, take a pre-test, and be randomly assigned to either the intervention or control group. * The intervention group will undergo scenario-based simulation training, while the control group will receive traditional skills training. * Both groups will engage in individual practice and complete post-training evaluations to assess critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and overall competency This study aims to identify an effective teaching strategy for nursing students, enhancing their ability to handle complex clinical situations and improving patient care quality.
