Nursing Students' Experiences of in situ Simulation Training in Leadership Practice: A Qualitative Explorative Study.
Article in Journal of healthcare leadership, 2026. 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
Purpose: Developing leadership and management skills among nursing students is increasingly recognized as essential for their future roles as professional nurses. Meanwhile, simulation-based learning has emerged as a valuable pedagogical approach in nursing education. This study aimed to explore third-year nursing students' experiences of in situ simulation training in leadership practice. Methods: A qualitative explorative design was used. Nursing students (n = 26) participated in focus group interviews after completing simulation training. Data was collected using semi-structured interview guides; content analysis was conducted to identify key themes. Results: Three themes emerged: prepared for reality, beneficial learning, and development of leadership competence. The themes showed how, by engaging in realistic scenarios, students gained deeper self-insight, strengthened their ability to connect theory with practice, and developed greater confidence in managing complex clinical situations. Conclusion: In situ simulation appears to be an effective approach for enhancing nursing students' leadership competence and professional development. The findings suggest that simulation supports the formation of professional identity and facilitates the transition from education to nursing practice.
