Abstract

           This quasi-experimental research aimed to compare clinical decision-making ability of the third-year nursing students before and after attending the case-based learning (CBL) and simulation-based learning (SBL) approach and to compare the difference in clinical decision-making ability between the 2 groups, a control group and an experimental group. Sixty third-year nursing students were randomly selected and divided into 2 groups, 30 students in each group. The research tools consisted of 2 parts: 1) lesson plans and instructional media were employed as the experimental tools, and 2) a Clinical Decision-Making. A questionnaire was used for data collection. Content validity was assessed by three panels of experts, with Cronbach's alpha coefficient at .75. The data were analyzed using paired t-test and independent t-test.

           Findings revealed that, after studying, the experiment group had significantly higher scores of clinical decision-making ability compared with before studying at .05 level (M = 39.07, SD = 1.33 and M = 23.77, SD = 2.11; t = 33.99, p = .000). Meanwhile, the experimental group had significantly higher scores of clinical decision-making ability than the control group at .05 level (t = 32.72, p = .000).
