Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice: Evaluating Embedded Micro-Scenarios in Simulation on Academic Motivation and Clinical Decision-Making Among Nursing Students-A Randomized Controlled Trial

he Embedded Micro-Scenario Simulations (EMSS) for nursing students include a series of engaging clinical cases designed to bridge the theory-practice gap. In Prioritization of Care, students must prioritize three patients with varying degrees of urgency, honing their critical thinking skills. The Patient Education on Discharge scenario tasks them with effectively communicating self-care instructions. In End-of-Life Care, students provide compassionate support to a terminally ill patient and facilitate family discussions.
