Satisfação e autoconfiança de graduandos de enfermagem em práticas de habilidades e cenários simulados

Abstract

Introduction: Simulation is a learning strategy that has been increasingly applied in nursing education. The use of this tool generates the need to use reliable and valid instruments to guide the activities developed. Objective: evaluate the satisfaction and self-confidence of nursing students during learning when they are submitted to praticed skills and simulated scenarios. Methodology: observational research with quantitative approach conducted on Skills and Simulation Laboratory of a University located in the city of Rio de Janeiro. Performed with nursing students (enrolled in the 3rd and 6th period) using the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning (SSSCL). The scale is similar a 5 points Likert Scale. It has 13 items and it is categorized in two dimensions: Satisfaction (05 items) and Self-confidence in learning (08 items). Results: 49 students were included. The research participant is typically female (89.8%), brown and black (57.1%), 21-23 years old (55.1%) and with no experience in simulation (93.9%). The analysis of each of the 13 points showed the effectiveness of the teaching method used (98%), with a positive impact on the way the teacher taught (97.9%) and was aligned with the way the student learns (95, 9), reinforcing that teacher performance is extremely relevant to satisfaction. Conclusion: this study achieved the goals and demonstrated that simulation can be a feasible option in nursing students learning for clinical practice. High levels in both dimensions were reach, being those of satisfaction more significant than those of self-confidence. The evaluation of these dimensions may not directly reflect learning results, but they are essential for the improvement of simulation as a teaching technique by institutions and teachers.
