Effect of high-fidelity human patient simulator manikins combined with standardized patient simulation scenario on clinical thinking in pediatric nursing education.
Article in BMC nursing, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 1 paper.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundClinical thinking is essential for nursing students. However, traditional teaching focused on theory tends to reduce clinical thinking.
methodsIn this study, 69 undergraduate (third-year) nursing students at a university located in Hunan Province, China, were recruited from March to July 2023. In pediatric nursing, courses were taught using high-fidelity human patient simulator manikins (HF-HPSM) and standardized patient (SP) simulation scenarios. They participated in two scenario simulations and one skills assessment based on scenario simulation, and then the clinical thinking of nursing students before and after the course was compared. Furthermore, the participants' nursing skill differences were compared with 58 students who only participated in skill assessments in previous years.
resultsThe simulation groups' clinical, critical, and systematic thinking were improved compared to their pre-test scores after the pediatric course(p<0.001). Additionally, the simulation group had significantly different skill performance than the control group(p<0.001).
conclusionThe results indicated that the introduction of combined HF-HPSM and SP simulation scenario courses allows for improved clinical, critical, and systematic thinking. Adding simulation with standardized patients portraying family members to the course further increases skill performance compared to theory-based teaching alone.
