Conditions
Summary
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

Interventions
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.
