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. The students' perspective regarding their learning and acquisition of ethical competence through simulations was positive. A total of 15 mental models were identified that underlie the ethical decision making of the students. The student's opinions reinforce the use of simulations as a tool for learning ethics. Thus, the putting into practice the knowledge regarding the frames that guide ethical actions is a suitable pedagogical strategy.
护理专业学生需要掌握伦理方面的能力。本研究旨在分析学生通过模拟体验学习伦理学的过程，并描述影响护理学生决策过程的潜在框架。本研究采用基于模拟体验分析的定性研究方法，对 3 组不同的四年级护理学生（n=30）进行了 6 个具有伦理内容的模拟情景的模拟体验和讨论。模拟情景的设计旨在包含伦理困境。学生对通过模拟学习和获得伦理能力的看法是积极的。共确定了 15 个潜在的思维模型，这些模型构成了学生进行伦理决策的基础。学生的观点支持将模拟作为学习伦理学的工具。因此，实践指导伦理行为的框架知识是一种合适的教学策略。
