Objective:

To evaluate the effects of a frailty-prevention simulation program on nursing students’ competencies, specifically clinical judgment, self-efficacy, and clinical performance.

Approach:
    Key Findings:
    • Clinical judgment and clinical performance showed significant improvements after the simulation.
    • Self-efficacy did not show a statistically significant change.
    • Simulation quality was positively associated with clinical judgment and clinical performance.
    Interpretation:

    Home-visit simulation may enhance clinical judgment and performance in nursing education, while self-efficacy is more closely linked to satisfaction than simulation quality.

    Limitations:
    • Limited to a single group of nursing students, which may affect generalizability.
    • Self-efficacy measurement did not show significant change.
    Conclusion:

    The study suggests that simulation-based education can be an effective strategy for improving nursing competencies related to frailty prevention.
