Abstract
Background: Clinical simulation is an educational approach that aims to replicate
real-life scenarios. Its primary goal is to help nursing students acquire the necessary knowledge
and skills to perform effectively in clinical settings. This study focuses on the relationship between
communication skills, evidence-based practice (EBP), and clinical simulation. We aimed to assess
how communication skills and EBP competencies affect nursing students’ performance in simulated
clinical scenarios. (2) Methods: We conducted an observational, cross-sectional study with 180 thirdyear
nursing students at the University of Murcia. We used validated instruments to evaluate the
students’ EBP competencies, communication skills, non-technical skills, and nursing interventions in
simulated scenarios. (3) Results: The results showed that the students had varying competencies in
EBP and communication skills. However, there was a positive and statistically significant correlation
(p < 0.001) between these variables, non-technical skills, and the simulated clinical scenario nursing
interventions. Our regression models revealed that communication skills and EBP competence significantly
influenced the performance of the student nurses regarding their clinical and non-technical
skills in the simulated scenarios. (4) Conclusions: Communication skills and EBP competencies
predict performance in simulated scenarios for nursing students.
