About this study
Official title: Exploring Nursing Students' Experience and Attitudes Towards High Fidelity Simulation-based Learning Approach in Maternal and Infant Care: A Mixed Method Study
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
Read the detailed description
Background and Rationale of Study:
Nursing students commonly reported feeling unprepared in maternity and infant care clinical setting or lack competencies. Additionally, nurses are concerned about the clinical reasoning skills of new graduates, which may lead to poor quality of infants or maternal outcomes. Despite this importance, it is difficult to provide more clinical opportunities especially during COVID pandemics. High-fidelity simulation-based learning (HFS) can help to bridge the gap between theory and practice, with manikin citing the similarities to practice in a 'real' situation. By incorporating different scenarios, prebriefing and debriefing into the HFS, students can enhance their learning experience. However, there is a lack of studies specifically examining the use of HFS in baby care and breastfeeding among nursing students. The impact of HFS on learning outcomes, including knowledge and skills, problem solving abilities, and learning experience are unclear.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
high fidelity simulation-based trainingBehavioural
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 trainingBehavioural
Conventional training includes lecture, tutorial and basic lab with low-fidelity mannequins.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Intervention group with HFS baby | Experimental | For intervention group, the high fidelity simulation session will be arranged earlier.
. Receives: Behavioral: high fidelity simulation-based training; Behavioral: conventional training |
| Control group with conventional | Other | For control group, they will undergo convention training. An identical simulation session will be provided for the control group after completion of the study Receives: Behavioral: conventional training |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Self efficacy on basic breastfeeding knowledge and skills with a self-rated breastfeeding ability tool
37-items modified version was designed to estimate self-efficacy in performing tasks of different complexity, relating to breastfeeding support
- - Very simple for me to do
- - Easy for me to do
- - Difficult for me to do
- - Very hard for me to do
For each question: minimum value = 1 and maximum value = 4 The higher scores mean a worst outcome (lower self efficacy).
Measured: 5min
Level of knowledge and skill in caring for newborn baby and breastfeeding
20 items
- True
- May be true
- I dont know 4 = May be false 5 = False (for correct answer: 5 marks per questions, max total: 100) (for wrong answer: -5 marks per questions, min total: -100) (for may be: 2 to -2 marks; for i dont know: 0 marks)
For each question: minimum value = -5 and maximum value = 5 The higher scores mean a better outcome (better knowledge).
Measured: 4min
Secondary outcomes (2)
Simulation Design Scale (SDS)
20 items and is used to evaluate simulation training design from the learners' perspective. The scale assesses various aspects such as objective, information, support, problem solving, feedback and fidelity in simulation
Use the following rating system when assessing the simulation design elements:
- - Strongly Disagree with the statement
- - Disagree with the statement
- - Undecided - you neither agree or disagree with the statement
- - Agree with the statement
- - Strongly Agree with the statement NA - Not Applicable; the statement does not pertain to the simulation activity performed.
For each question: minimum value = 1 and maximum value = 5 The higher scores mean a better outcome (better design).
Rate each item based upon how important that item is to you.
- - Not Important
- - Somewhat Important
- - Neutral
- - Important
- - Very Important
For each question: minimum value = 1 and maximum value = 5 The higher scores mean a better outcome (more important).
Measured: 3min
Education Practices Questionnaire (EPS)
16 items and is used to access perceptions of education best practices' presence and importance in simulation training
Use the following rating system when assessing the simulation design elements:
- - Strongly Disagree with the statement
- - Disagree with the statement
- - Undecided - you neither agree or disagree with the statement
- - Agree with the statement
- - Strongly Agree with the statement NA - Not Applicable; the statement does not pertain to the simulation activity performed.
For each question: minimum value = 1 and maximum value = 5 The higher scores mean a better outcome (better learning experience).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing high fidelity simulation-based training and conventional training in people with High Fidelity Simulation Training, run by The University of Hong Kong at 1 site in Hong Kong.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 11 Jun 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 1 site in Hong Kong. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
Are results available for this study?
This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
Contact Wai Ming CHUNG (69796719, h0394197@connect.hku.hk), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Self efficacy on basic breastfeeding knowledge and skills with a self-rated breastfeeding ability tool (time frame: 5min). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT06722248, which also lists 35 linked publications.
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 11 Jun 2025.
