    The study compared simulation-integrated training with traditional hospital training among 191 nursing students.

  • 3

    No significant differences were found in GPA, pediatric theory scores, or anxiety levels between the two training methods.

  • 4

    Higher GPAs were associated with a greater likelihood of being allocated to simulation-integrated training.
