The objective was to assess the impact of a simulated practice program on the construction of self-confidence for intervention in emergencies and its association with knowledge and performance. This is a quasi-experimental study without control group, with assessment before and after a 15-hour simulated practice program, in nursing students. The students' self-confidence increased significantly as a result of simulated practice with positive and statistically significant association between practical assessment and self-confidence levels.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
