Comparison of the effect of situation simulation and rethinking on moral sensitivity and work conscience of nursing students
Design
A classic experimental study with pretest-posttest design, including control and intervention groups, with parallel groups, single-blind, randomized, on 75 students. Random assignment will be conducted using a web-based method.
Settings and conduct
Participants will be divided into three groups to complete the Population-Based Cognitive Information Questionnaire, Lutzen's ethical sensitivity, and Casta and McCray's work conscience. The simulation group will watch a weekly film on nursing ethical challenges and complete an RCA review form. The review group will study written scenarios on similar ethical issues and complete a review form based on RCA. After the course, all groups will complete the questionnaires again. The study is single-blind, and participants are unaware of other groups and interventions.

Randomization description
Random allocation will be conducted using a web-based method, and students will be divided into three groups: simulation of situation, reflection, and control. Execution of concealment using pre-prepared sealed envelopes containing X (simulation group), Y (reflection group), and O (control group) will be performed.
