Objective:

To evaluate the effect of unfolding case-based simulation on nursing students' caring ability and behaviors specifically during OBGYN internships.

Key Findings:
  • The intervention group had significantly higher end-of-rotation CAI and CBI scores compared to the control group (P < 0.001), indicating a strong effect of the intervention.
  • The intervention group achieved higher specialty assessment scores and overall teaching satisfaction than the control group (P < 0.001), suggesting improved educational outcomes.
Interpretation:

Adding unfolding case-based simulation to conventional OBGYN preceptorship was associated with substantial short-term improvements in nursing students’ caring ability and behaviors.

Limitations:
  • The study was conducted at a single center, limiting generalizability; further multicenter studies are needed to assess the sustainability of the observed gains.
  • Further studies are needed to assess the transferability of these gains to real clinical practice.
Conclusion:

The study suggests that integrating unfolding case-based simulation into OBGYN internships can enhance nursing students' caring skills and behaviors, potentially influencing nursing education practices.
