Effectiveness of an education strategy based on advanced clinical simulation for students of the Nursing program

Abstract

With the passage of time, clinical simulation is gaining great strength as an educational tool for learning in the context of the real environment, becoming an alternative space for the strengthening of clinical practice and competency-based training of nursing professionals. Methodology: The approach used was experimental, oriented in two stages, the first consisted of the design of the education strategy and the second stage in the implementation and evaluation, having a group of 52 students who were studying VI, VII VIII and IX semester, who were randomly selected. The information collection was carried out post-test only, using the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Questionnaire (SSSCL) and Checklist of Non-Technical, Technical and Technological Skills in Nursing Care.
Result: It is obtained that, with clinical simulation as an educational strategy, the acquisition of non-technical, technical and technological skills of nursing care is allowed, enhancing teamwork. Likewise, the student stated that he was satisfied with the teaching methodology, the materials and the facilitating teacher, as well as allowing him self-confidence, seeing it as a safe and pleasant place.
Conclusion: the educational strategy through clinical simulation allows the improvement in the quality of training of nursing students, with the stages of Prebriefing, Briefing and Debriefing being very important for the teaching-learning process.
