Background: Simulation-based training is a new strategy in teaching that\ngives the students good opportunities to learn and apply what they learn in\nnursing care safely. Aim: This study conducted to evaluate the effects of simulation-\nbased training on nursing studentsâ?? communication skill, self-efficacy\nand clinical competence in practice. Subjects and Methods: Quiz-experimental\ndesign was used in this study (pre-posttest intervention), it was carried out on\n100 nursing students first semester in 2019 using low and high-fidelity simulators.\nThis study was carried out at College of Applied Medical Sciences-Bshia\nUniversity. Data Collection: demographic data, communication skill, selfefficacy\nand clinical competence questionnaires. Analysis is done by SPSS\nversion 20 software. Results: Participants who received the simulation-based\ntraining, showed statistical significant improvement in communication skill,\nself-efficacy, and clinical competence scores after participation in the simulation\nprogram (t = -32.64, p = 0.001; t = -19.9, p = 0.001; 16.4, p = 0.001). Also,\nthere are significant relation between gender and clinical competency (t =\n2.768, p < 0.05). Conclusion: Simulation-based training in medical courses is\neffective in enhancing communication skill, self-efficacy and clinical competence.\nMultiple-patient simulations as a teaching-learning strategy in the\nnursing curriculum are highly recommended.
