About this study

Official title: An Action Research on Improving Clinical Nursing Skills of Nursing Students by Intervening With the SimCapture Cloud Management System

The action research aims to enhance clinical nursing skills of nursing students through the implementation of the SimCapture cloud management system. Research has found that traditional teaching methods are insufficient in cultivating students' clinical skills, and students' learning characteristics and technological developments have also placed new demands on teaching. Although the research team previously attempted blended learning and simulation-based teaching, students' technical grades have shown a declining trend. To address this issue, the researchers plan to implement the SimCapture system and, based on observational learning theory, design teaching activities to enhance students' learning motivation and self-efficacy, ultimately improving their clinical skills.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Cloud-based learning platformBehavioural

    The SimCapture system is the technological backbone of the intervention, transforming the way clinical skills are taught and learned.

    1. System Access and Structure:Both faculty and students are provided with individual accounts to access the SimCapture platform.
    2. The system facilitates the organization of students into groups, enabling collaborative learning and peer feedback.
    3. Digital Evaluation Tools:Faculty develop standardized, digital tools within SimCapture to assess student performance of clinical skills.These tools ensure consistent and objective evaluation.
    4. Recording and Feedback:Students record their practice sessions using personal devices (e.g., smartphones).These recordings are uploaded to the SimCapture cloud, creating a repository of learning resources.
    5. Faculty use tablets to provide specific, time-stamped feedback on student performance directly within the SimCapture system.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) Scores

    The OSCE content includes preparation of technical equipment and technical procedures, which will be evaluated using a checklist by examiners.

    The checklist has undergone validity analysis by five nursing experts. Scores range from 0 to 100.

    Measured: At week 8 (mid-semester) and at week 16 (end of semester)

Secondary outcomes (2)

  1. Self-Efficacy Questionnaire

    This study developed a self-efficacy scale for technical courses based on Bandura's (1986) self-efficacy theory, which includes three dimensions: level, generality, and strength. Considering the potential burden on students from completing multiple items, the scale consists of three items: (1) "If I try my best, I can always complete the technical task"; (2) "With my abilities, I can handle even the most difficult or complex technical tasks"; and (3) "When facing challenges in learning technical skills, I can usually find several ways to overcome them." Higher scores indicate greater self-efficacy. The content validity of the questionnaire will be reviewed and revised through expert evaluation.

    Measured: Weekly at weeks 1-17 of semester, within 3 days after each class

  2. Learning Motivation Questionnaire

    This study adopted a revised version of the Learning Motivation Scale (LMS) developed by Liu Cheng-Hung (2010) in Taiwan. The scale was adapted from the Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) by Pintrich, Smith, Garcia, and McKeachie (1991), taking into account the Taiwanese cultural context. The scale consists of 14 items and is one of the most widely used instruments for assessing learning motivation. Higher scores indicate stronger learning motivation.

    Measured: At week 1 (beginning of semester), week 9 (after midterm exam), and week 18 (final exam)]

Model description
1. The SimCapture system is used as a platform for managing, recording, and evaluating student learning. 2. Both teachers and students have individual accounts to access the system. 3. Teachers create digital evaluation tools for each skill. 4. Students record their practice sessions and upload the videos to the SimCapture cloud. 5. Teachers use tablets to provide feedback on student performance within the system. 6. Students can review their own videos, as well as those of their peers, along with teacher feedback. 7. SimCapture is used both within the skills lab and remotely, allowing students to practice and review independently. 8. The system also allows for learning portfolios to track student progress.

Individual data sharing
Yes: We will share the anonymized individual participant data from this study to facilitate future research. The shared dataset will include demographic data (age, gender, ethnicity), baseline characteristics (disease severity, medical history), treatment data (drug dosage, duration), and primary outcome measurements (symptom scores, quality of life). Direct identifiers such as names, addresses, and dates of birth have been removed. The data will be made available through a secure online database, and a data access agreement will be required to access the data. The data will be available 12 months after the publication of the study and will be retained for 5 years. By providing a comprehensive and transparent description of the specific IPD to be shared, you can promote responsible data sharing and maximize the impact of the research, while protecting the privacy of participants.
