Methods A mixed-methods design study was conducted on 107 third-year nursing students. The students were randomly assigned to the control group (n=54) or the experimental group (n=53). The students in the experimental group attended the simulation training using a high-fidelity simulator, while the students in the control group attended only the classical training on the management of pre-eclampsia. Results Knowledge (P<0.001), critical thinking (P<0.05), and clinical decision-making (P<0.05) scores of students in the experimental group increased after the simulation. In the focus group interviews, five themes were identified: learning development; closing the gap between theory and practice; confident decision-making and self-confidence; professional preparation; and recommendations. Conclusion High-fidelity simulation is efficacious for improving the management of pre-eclampsia among nursing students.en10.1002/ijgo.13243info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessClinical decision-makingCritical thinkingHigh-fidelity simulationKnowledgeNursing studentPre-eclampsiaJudgmentSkillsArticle1503354360324690842-s2.0-85087143124WOS:000541424700001Q1Q1
