Intervention model description: This study is a parallel group-randomized controlled trial.
Primary purpose: BASIC_SCIENCE

Brief 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).


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Nursing students enrolled in the subject "Family and Community Nursing I".

Exclusion Criteria:

* Lack of attendance since the beginning of the course.
* Failure to follow the instructions of the instructors during the course of the study.
* Voluntary withdrawal from the study during the study or declaring non-participation.
