Abstract

Health-care systems are changing, thus changing the expectations and requirements for nursing students entering the profession (Kaddoura, 2011). Nursing education must address the changes and focus on the development of critical thinking and clinical reasoning. When students are unable to apply clinical reasoning or clinical judgment into practice, there is an increase in potential for negative patient outcomes (Jones, Passos-Neto, & Braghiroli, 2015). Case-based learning (CBL) and simulation-based learning (SBL) are both active learning methods that can enhance development of critical thinking, clinical reasoning, and clinical judgment (Forneris et al., 2015). The purpose is to compare the use of CBL and SBL in the classroom and potential impact on application of clinical judgment during a high-fidelity simulation. The following research question was addressed: What is the effect of recorded patient simulations in the classroom compared to the use of CBL on critical thinking, clinical judgment, skill performance, and knowledge application?
