“…The questionnaire’s construct validity was confirmed by a correlation with burnout. Non-technical Skills scale in medical and surgical hospital units for nursing students (NTS-Nursing) [ 36 ]: A validated version of this scale has been developed for Spanish nursing students to measure their non-technical skills in simulated clinical scenarios. The questionnaire includes ten items divided into three categories: teamwork (range 4–40), intervention management (range 4–40), and patient/family communication (range 2–20).…”

(1) 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 third-year 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.

Critical care nurses deal with a variety of urgent, complicated, and unpredictably occurring situations in their caring units. Non-technical skills and personality traits of nurses can affect their caring behaviors that consequently affect patients' safety. The purpose of the study is to evaluate Perceived patients' safety and its relation to non-technical skills and personality traits among nurses at critical care units.Research design: Descriptive correlational design was employed in this study. Setting:the study was conducted at critical care units in Beni Suef University Hospital. Sample:A convenient sample of 126 staff nurses. Instruments: Four instruments were used; characteristics of nurses structured questionnaire, non-technical skills likert scale, the big five personality traits inventory and nurses' perception of patient's safety likert scale. Results: The majority of studied nurses (96%) had a satisfactory level of nontechnical skills; nearly two thirds of them (67.5%) had high perception of patientsꞌ safety culture. There was a highly statistical significant positive correlation between extroversion and patientsꞌ safety. A statistical significant positive correlation was found between neuroticism and experience. Also, there was a very highly statistical significant positive correlation between conscientiousness and experience. Conclusion: A positive correlation was found between some non-technical skills and patients' safety culture. Furthermore, personality traits in terms of extraversion, conscientiousness, and neuroticism were correlated positively with patients' safety. Recommendations: Health organizations should consider such research studies as a reference for appropriate placement and distribution of nurses on the hospital departments based on their levels of non-technical skills and personality traits. Also, training should be conducted about Non-technical skills especially for nurses at critical care settings.
