Zusammenfassung:a lack of adequate training in palliative care leads to a greater emotional burden on nurses. to assess the effect of a simulation using standardized patients on self-efficacy in palliative care, ability to cope with death, and emotional intelligence among nursing students. a randomized clinical trial and qualitative study. A total of 264 nursing students in a palliative care module completed the Bugen, trait meta-mood, and self-efficacy in palliative care scales after active participation in the simulation (n = 51), watching the simulation (n = 113), and the control group (n = 100). An ANOVA with a multi-comparative analysis and McNemar's tests for paired samples were calculated. Active participants were interviewed, and a thematic analysis was conducted. there was an improvement after the assessment in all three groups assessed for coping with death ( < 0.01), emotional intelligence ( < 0.01), and self-efficacy ( < 0.01). In addition, the active group improved more than the observer group and the control group in coping with death, attention, and repair. The students in the interviews identified sadness and an emotional lack of control. the simulation improved nursing students' self-efficacy in palliative care. This effect was partially stronger in the active group.
