Spanish validation of the national league for nursing questionnaires for clinical simulation

Evaluating Satisfaction and Self-Confidence among Nursing Students in Clinical Simulation Learning

“…Furthermore, we did not find research conducted in Spanish that used the NLN scale [ 25 ], despite its widespread use in international studies [ 17 , 18 , 30 , 34 ]. One possible explanation for this discrepancy could be the recent validation of the instrument in Spanish, which may account for its limited use in previous studies [ 26 ].…”

“…Satisfaction and self-confidence variables were assessed using the “Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning” questionnaire developed by the National League for Nursing (NLN) [ 25 ]. For this study, we used the version of the instrument validated for the Spanish population [ 26 ]. This instrument comprises 13 self-administered items, measuring students’ satisfaction with instructional methods, learning materials, and instructors (5 items), as well as their self-confidence in learning (8 items).…”

“…The total score ranges from 13 to 65 points, with scores for each construct expressed on a scale from 1 to 5. The instrument demonstrates a high level of internal consistency, with a Cronbach’s alpha of 0.90 for both the original version [ 25 ] and the Spanish translated version [ 26 ]. In previous studies, the Cronbach’s alpha for the satisfaction subscale was 0.94 [ 25 ], 0.71 [ 27 ], and 0.97 [ 16 ].…”

Cultural adaptation and evaluation of the measurement properties of the Facilitator Competency Rubric for clinical simulation facilitators

“…To this end, different measurement instruments have been developed over the years to evaluate elements that are necessary for the implementation of this teaching strategy or to evaluate its results, especially those of participants ( 3 ) . For example, the National League for Nursing (NLN) and the International Nursing Association for Clinical and Simulation Learning (INACSL) provide instruments that have been translated and validated for different cultures and that focus on evaluating skill performance, satisfaction, perception of the educational experience, knowledge/learning, critical thinking/clinical judgment, self-confidence/self-efficacy, debriefing, facilitator competence, and on assessing the level of organization regarding the design of the simulated scenario ( 4 ) .…”

“…Para ello, a lo largo de los años se han desarrollado diferentes instrumentos de medición para evaluar elementos necesarios para la implementación de esta estrategia docente o para evaluar sus resultados, especialmente los de los participantes ( 3 ) . Por ejemplo, la National League for Nursing (NLN) y la International Nursing Association for Clinical and Simulation Learning (INACSL) proporcionan instrumentos que han sido traducidos y validados para diferentes culturas y que se enfocan en evaluar el desempeño de habilidades, la satisfacción, la percepción de la experiencia educativa, el conocimiento/aprendizaje, el pensamiento crítico/juicio clínico, la autoconfianza/autoeficacia, el debriefing , la competencia del facilitador, y en evaluar el nivel de organización respecto al diseño del escenario simulado ( 4 ) .…”
