Discovering mental models and frames in learning of nursing ethics through simulations

The acquisition of ethical competence is necessary in nursing. The aims of the study were to analyse students' perceptions of the process of learning ethics through simulations and to describe the underlying frames that inform the decision making process of nursing students. A qualitative study based on the analysis of simulated experiences and debriefings of six simulated scenarios with ethical content in three different groups of fourth-year nursing students (n  = 30), was performed. The simulated situations were designed to contain ethical dilemmas.
