Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a multimodal intervention with high-fidelity simulations on home health nursing in improving the care of multipathological patients with heart failure in nursing students. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does using validated simulation scenarios on multipathological patients with heart failure improve care competencies in nursing students? * Does knowledge of scientific evidence and healthcare protocols improve nursing students' performance in the simulator? Researchers will compare a multimodal intervention with high-fidelity simulations on home health nursing to conventional intervention (theoretical teaching) to see if nursing students better learn competencies related to the care of patients with multimorbidity and heart failure during the home health nursing. Participants will: * Experience simulations on validated simulation scenarios on multipathological patients with heart failure (All participants). * Reflect on the intervention performed on the simulator through individual and group debriefings (Experimental Group). * Learn about the main scientific evidence and international and national protocols related to comorbidities and health failure (Experimental Group).

Conditions

• Multimorbidity
• Heart Failure

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Training in high-fidelity simulation and knowledge of care protocols in patients with multimorbidity and heart failure	Participants will perform an individual simulation as nurses related to the patient profile in their home (pretest and postest). After each simulation, each participant will receive a recording of their simulation, and both individual and group debriefings will be conducted. In addition, they will be trained in scientific evidence and international and national protocols regarding the care of these patients in the context of home health nursing.
