Introduction: Pediatric Advanced Aife Support (PALS) is a critical competency for Nursing students, ensuring timely and effective intervention during pediatric emergencies. This study evaluates the effectiveness of Simulation-based teaching versus Video-assisted teaching in enhancing knowledge among nursing students. Objectives To compare the effectiveness of Simulation versus Video assisted teaching on knowledge regarding Pediatric Advanced Life Support (PALS) among the students of selected Nursing colleges. Methodology: Two arm interventional comparative design was adopted, with 50 participants divided into two groups: one receiving Simulation-based teaching and the other undergoing Video- assisted teaching. A self-structured questionnaire was used to assess knowledge before and after the interventions. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics to determine the significance of knowledge improvement within and between groups. Results: post-test scores was (p value 0.07). The simulation- based approach demonstrated was having greater impact, highlighting its effectiveness in providing hands-on, experiential learning. The discussion emphasizes the importance of interactive methodologies in Nursing education and the need to incorporate Simulation-based learning for better knowledge retention and skill development Conclusion: Simulation-based teaching is more effective than Video- assisted teaching in enhancing PALS knowledge among Nursing students. It is recommended that Nursing curricula integrate more Simulation-based training to improve student preparedness for real-life pediatric emergencies. Future studies should explore long-term knowledge retention and practical skill application following these teaching interventions.
