Satisfaction of Nursing Students With a Clinical Simulation Practice in Hi-Fi Settings

Abstract

Objective: to describe the satisfaction with the practical dimension of the high fidelity clinical simulation settings developed by the nursing students. Method: a quantitative, descriptive and correlational approach. Data collection, questionnaire to assess the nursing students' satisfaction with the simulated clinical experiences in the practice. Scale from 1 to 10, with 10 being the maximum satisfaction value and 1, the minimum satisfaction value. A total of 115 students took part. The ethical requirements were met. Results: satisfaction with the achieved learning: fourth year, mean of 7.08; fifth year, mean of 7.05. Motivation to attend practical classes: fourth year, mean of 7.46; fifth year, mean of 7.16. Dynamism of the practical classes: fourth year, mean of 7.27; fifth year, mean of 6.66. Active participation in the developed settings: fourth year, mean of 7.41; fifth year, mean of 7.30. Interaction with their peers: fourth year, mean satisfaction greater than 8.14; fifth year, mean of 7.45. Interaction with the teachers: both classes showed a mean of 7.73. Satisfaction with the degree of difficulty of the settings: fourth year, mean of 7.25; fifth year, mean of 7.32. Productivity during the practical classes: fourth year, mean of 7.12; fifth year, mean of 6.95. Conclusion: fourth year showed greater satisfaction with the practice, over 70%; and fifth year, a satisfaction level of approximately 60% of the options.

Entrepreneurship among Undergraduate Nursing Students at a public university

“…In order to change this scenario, it is crucial to consider that teaching entrepreneurship only through disciplines related to knowledge and exploration of the topic per se is insufficient, considering that the entrepreneurial trend, more than knowledge, elucidates characteristics, beliefs, and attitudes (16) . The simulation could be a strategy to explore experiential learning, allowing the student to live experiences guided by professors based on tangible aspects and situations related to the health area, according to the learning expected in their academic path (17) .…”
