N2  - Competency refers to the combination of knowledge, skills, and abilities required to effectively perform specific tasks. In pediatric nursing, the unique demands of the field pose challenges for students in developing essential competencies. Consequently, innovative training approaches are needed, with scenario-based learning emerging as a modern method for clinical education. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of scenario-based education on nursing students’ core competencies. A quasi-experimental design with pre-test and post-test assessments was employed. Seventy-two nursing students were recruited using the census method and randomly assigned to either an intervention group (n = 33) or a control group (n = 40). Data were collected using a demographic questionnaire and the Nursing Students’ Clinical Competencies Questionnaire. Both groups completed pre-tests before the intervention, and post-tests were administered one month later. In the intervention group, the mean core competency score increased from 229.05 (SD = 36.58) before training to 247.05 (SD = 36.48) after training (P > 0.05). The control group’s mean score rose slightly from 235.56 (SD = 27.94) to 240.76 (SD = 35.36), with no significant difference (P < 0.05). Independent t-tests revealed no statistically significant differences between the intervention and control groups either before or after the intervention (P > 0.05). The findings suggest that scenario-based training can enhance core competencies among nursing students. Educational administrators and faculty are encouraged to integrate scenario-based teaching strategies into nursing curricula. Further research is warranted to explore the combined effects of scenario-based learning with other instructional methods, such as team-based and problem-based learning.
