INTRODUCTION

Innovative teaching methodologies have been widely implemented in the area of health for students and professionals, as they provide the necessary critical and reflective training in the face of progress in knowledge, technological advancement and increasing care complexity(11. Oliveira SN, Prado ML, Kempfer SS. Utilização da simulação no ensino da enfermagem: revisão integrativa. Rev Min Enferm. 2014;18(2):487-95. http://www.dx.doi.org/10.5935/1415-2762.20140036
http://www.dx.doi.org/10.5935/1415-2762....
). In this context, realistic clinical simulation (RCS) emerges, which allows a group of people to experience a representation of a real event with the purpose of practicing, learning, assessing or understanding human systems or actions(22. González Gómez JM, Chaves Vinagre J, Ocete Hita E, Calvo Macías C. Nuevas metodologias en el entrenamiento de emergencias pediátricas: simulación medica aplicada a pediatría. An Pediatr. 2008;68(6):12-20. https://doi.org/10.1157/13123296
https://doi.org/10.1157/13123296...
). It has been a strategy explored in teaching laboratories and simulation centers around the world to provide an environment which is as close as possible to a real one(33. Escudero E, Avendaño Ben-Azul M, Domínguez-Cancino K. Clinical simulation and patient safety: integration into the nursing curriculum. Sci Med. 2018;28(1):ID28853. https://doi.org/10.15448/1980-6108.2018.1.28853
https://doi.org/10.15448/1980-6108.2018....
).

RCS, as a dynamic process that involves the creation of a hypothetical situation incorporating an authentic representation of reality, facilitates the active participation of the student/professional and integrates the complexities of practical and theoretical learning with opportunities for repetition, feedback, evaluation and reflection, without causing harm to the patient(44. Brandão CFS, Carvalho-Filho MA, Cecilio-Fernandes D. Simulation centers and pedagogical planning: two sides of the same coin. Sci Med. 2018;28(1):ID28709. https://doi.10.15448/1980-6108.2018.1.28709
https://doi.10.15448/1980-6108.2018.1.28...
). Such aspects, when contemplated in a properly structured simulation activity, guarantee students’ satisfaction with learning(55. Brasil GC, Ribeiro LM, Mazzo A, Almeida RGS, Martins JCA, Fonseca LMM, et al. Utilização de escalas de design e autoconfiança na avaliação da simulação realística materno-infantil. Rev Enferm Ref. 2018;4(19):117-26. https://doi.org/10.12707/RIV18025
https://doi.org/10.12707/RIV18025...
). Studies have demonstrated the effectiveness of using this method for the development of critical thinking(66. Negri EC, Mazzo A, Martins JCA, Pereira GA Jr, Almeida RGS, Pedersoli CE. Clinical simulation with dramatization: gains perceived by students and health professionals. Rev Latino Am Enfermagem. 2017;25:e2916. https://doi.org/10.1590/1518-8345.1807.2916
https://doi.org/10.1590/1518-8345.1807.2...
), skills development(77. Kaddoura M, Vandyke O, Smallwood C, Gonzalez KM. Perceived benefits and challenges of repeated exposure to high fidelity simulation experiences of first degree accelerated bachelor nursing students. Nurs Educ Today. 2016;36:298-303. https://doi.10.1016/j.nedt.2015.07.014
https://doi.10.1016/j.nedt.2015.07.014...
), decision making(88. Najjar RH, Lyman B, Miehl N. Nursing students’ experiences with high-fidelity simulation. Int J Nurs Educ Scholarsh. 2015;12(1):1-9. https://doi.10.1515/ijnes-2015-0010
https://doi.10.1515/ijnes-2015-0010...
), teamwork and strengthening self-confidence(99. Presado MHCV, Colaço S, Rafael H, Baixinho CL, Félix I, Saraiva C, et al. Aprender com a simulação de alta fidelidade. Ciênc Saúde Coletiva. 2018;23(1):51-9. https://doi.10.1590/1413-81232018231.23072017
https://doi.10.1590/1413-81232018231.230...
).

In the area of nursing, RCS is characterized as an effective and innovative teaching method, allowing students and professionals to learn and train, with a broadening of the relationship between theory and practice in a safe environment(22. González Gómez JM, Chaves Vinagre J, Ocete Hita E, Calvo Macías C. Nuevas metodologias en el entrenamiento de emergencias pediátricas: simulación medica aplicada a pediatría. An Pediatr. 2008;68(6):12-20. https://doi.org/10.1157/13123296
https://doi.org/10.1157/13123296...
). RCS has been used for the learning of nursing in intensive care, presenting complex health situations of patients, in which the nurse must exercise the articulation of theoretical knowledge with practice, providing assistance in an accurate manner, based on evidence, and with quick and well-informed decision making(1010. Linn AC, Caregnato RCA, Souza EN. Simulação clínica na educação de enfermagem em terapia intensiva: revisão integrativa. Rev Bras Enferm. 2019;72(4):1061-70. https://doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2018-0217
https://doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2018-0...
). We highlight the importance of using simulated training for teaching in situations of cardiorespiratory arrest (SCA), aiming at improving and acquiring skills and, consequently, better performance in patients care and survival rates(1111. American Heart Association. 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for CPR and ECC [Internet]. Dallas: AHA; 2020 [cited 2020 Mar 10]. Available from: https://cpr.heart.org/en/resuscitation-science/cpr-and-ecc-guidelines
https://cpr.heart.org/en/resuscitation-s...
).

Linked to simulation activities, studies point to the need to assess satisfaction and self-confidence with students’ learning(1212. Costa RRO, Medeiros SM, Coutinho VRD, Veríssimo CMF, Silva MANCGMM, Lucena EES. Simulação clínica no desempenho cognitivo, satisfação e autoconfiança na aprendizagem: estudo quase-experimental. Acta Paul Enferm. 2020;33:eAPE20180123. https://doi.org/10.37689/acta-ape/2020ao01236

,1313. Costa RRO, Medeiros SM, Coutinho VRD, Mazzo A, Araújo MS. Satisfação e autoconfiança na aprendizagem de estudantes de enfermagem: ensaio clínico randomizado. Esc Anna Nery. 2020;24(1): e20190094. https://doi.org/10.1590/2177-9465-ean-2019-0094
https://doi.org/10.1590/2177-9465-ean-20...
,1414. Garcia IM, Borges TAP, Pimentel RRS, Vannuchi MTO. Percepção do discente de enfermagem na construção do seu conhecimento no contexto da metodologia ativa. Rev Eletro Acervo Saúde. 2018;11(2):e127. https://doi.org/10.25248/reas.e127.2019
https://doi.org/10.25248/reas.e127.2019...
), highlighting its importance for the identification of teaching consolidation using this innovative methodology.

Thus, the objective was to assess satisfaction and self-confidence with the learning of undergraduate nursing students in a realistic clinical simulation scenario with the theme of advanced cardiorespiratory arrest maneuvers.

METHOD

Design of Study

This is an exploratory-descriptive study, with a quantitative approach.

Population

The population consisted of undergraduate nursing students at a Federal University in the South of the country, regularly enrolled in the Nursing Course in Adult Health II discipline, concerning the theme of nursing care in SCA. The sample for convenience was composed by students who participated in the simulation activity developed and answered the scale on the assessment of satisfaction and self-confidence with learning.

The study was carried out in a Realistic Simulation Center in a hospital complex, one of the partners of the higher education institution, which includes a hospital box, high-fidelity mannequin (Sim Man Laerdal®) and all technological resources and inputs of an Intensive Care Unit (ICU), associated with a control room and a debriefing room mirrored by the simulation room.

Data Collection

The data were obtained in the second semester of 2018, immediately after the development of the simulation activity with the students. As a tool for the development of the simulation scenario, the Linn Simulation Scenario Guide – Advanced Cardiorespiratory Arrest Maneuvers, a product of the Professional Master’s Dissertation in Nursing, was used(1010. Linn AC, Caregnato RCA, Souza EN. Simulação clínica na educação de enfermagem em terapia intensiva: revisão integrativa. Rev Bras Enferm. 2019;72(4):1061-70. https://doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2018-0217
https://doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2018-0...
). The guide allowed the structuring of the stages of the simulation scenario, namely: organization time/student briefing/actors’ briefing/scenario/debriefing, scenario learning objectives, equipment/consumables, environment organization, description of the scenario, actors’ briefing, sequence of actions in the scenario (checklist of actions/student actions/mannequin actions), expected student sequence, student briefing, debriefing by analysis/understanding, description/reaction and synthesis/evaluation and references (Chart 1).

Chart 1
Guide to the Linn Simulation Scenario – Advanced Cardiorespiratory Arrest Maneuvers – Porto Alegre, RS, Brazil, 2018.

After the RSC activity, students’ satisfaction with learning and self-confidence was assessed using the Student Satisfaction and Learning Confidence Scale (SSLCS)(1515. Almeida RGS, Mazzo A, Martins JCA, Baptista RCN, Girão FE, Mendes IAC. Validation to portuguese of the scale of student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning. Rev Latino Am Enfermagem. 2015;23(6):1007-13. https://doi.10.1590/0104-1169.0472.2643
https://doi.10.1590/0104-1169.0472.2643...
), aiming at the identification of the students’ perceptions of the activity and the consolidation of teaching.

Developed by the National League for Nursing (NLN)(1616. Jeffries PR, Rizzolo MA. Designing and implementing models for the innovative use of simulation to teach nursing care of I11 adults and children: a national, multi-site, multi-method study [Internet]. New York: NLN; 2006 [cited 2020 Mar 10]. Available from: http://www.nln.org/docs/default-source/professional-development-programs/read-the-nln-laerdal-project-summary-report-pdf.pdf?sfvrsn=0
http://www.nln.org/docs/default-source/p...
), translated and validated for its use in Brazil(1515. Almeida RGS, Mazzo A, Martins JCA, Baptista RCN, Girão FE, Mendes IAC. Validation to portuguese of the scale of student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning. Rev Latino Am Enfermagem. 2015;23(6):1007-13. https://doi.10.1590/0104-1169.0472.2643
https://doi.10.1590/0104-1169.0472.2643...
), the instrument consists of 13 items with five-point Likert-type responses (satisfaction – 05 items and self-confidence in learning – 08 items), ranging from “Strongly agree” (05) to “Strongly disagree with the statement” (01). Thus, in SSLCS, the higher the item’s score, the higher will be the agreement with the statement, thus exposing student’s satisfaction and self-confidence with the simulation activity experienced.

The simulation activity was conducted by the researcher and contained an information session, which aimed at introducing students to the simulation activity planning. This moment occurred at the beginning of the semester, together with the presentation of the discipline’s teaching plan, through the explanation of the research project to be developed. The students had already experienced learning through simulation scenarios of low complexity, in other disciplines from the undergraduate course. The introduction to the theory was developed through an expository dialogue, followed by a practical class in a nursing laboratory.

During another class, after teaching the theoretical content, students were introduced to the development environment of the simulation scenario itself. In addition, the actors who participated in the scenario had knowledge about the location and operation of the devices to be used in the activity, ensuring safety and helping students during the simulation scenario, favoring the environment. Subsequently, the briefing, scenario and debriefing were rigorously applied to the students.

Data Analysis and Treatment

The data obtained were stored on Excel spreadsheets and analyzed descriptively.

Ethical Aspects

The present research was submitted and approved by the Ethics and Research Committee from a public University in the south of Brazil, with approval under the number 2,734,458/18. All ethical principles of research involving human beings were respected, in accordance with Resolution no. 466/12(1717. Brasil. Ministério da Saúde; Conselho Nacional de Saúde.

), from the National Health Council, guaranteeing the voluntariness of participation and the anonymity of the participants, as well as the confidentiality of the data obtained.

RESULTS

The discipline of Nursing in Adult Health II had 27 students enrolled. 19 of these students participated in the RCS activity of Advanced SCA Maneuvers and responded to SSLCS. From the scale, we identified both students’ satisfaction and self-confidence with learning, with an average og 4.17 ± 0.59.

In the subscale of satisfaction with current learning, 86.3% of students evaluated the items with the maximum score (4–5), as shown in Figure 1.

The scenario was developed according to the simulation aspects proposed in the Linn Simulation Scenario Guide(1010. Linn AC, Caregnato RCA, Souza EN. Simulação clínica na educação de enfermagem em terapia intensiva: revisão integrativa. Rev Bras Enferm. 2019;72(4):1061-70. https://doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2018-0217
https://doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2018-0...
), meeting the criteria for the applicability of realistic simulation in nursing education.

DISCUSSION

Students express satisfaction with high-fidelity clinical simulation activities, as they identify that this proposal assists the future nurse in reinforcing critical thinking skills, technical and communication skills, obtaining confidence to develop the knowledge acquired from the experiences in simulation scenarios(1818. Warren J, Flude LL, Godfrey C, Lukewich J. A systematic review of the effectiveness of simulation-based education on satisfaction and learning outcomes in nurse practitioner programs. Nurs Educ Today. 2016;46:99-108. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nedt.2016.08.023
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nedt.2016.08.0...
).

Thus, it is understood that the simulation provides learning results, in which the student is able to articulate theory with practice, promoting an increase in self-confidence and satisfaction with this activity, as it generates a positive impact on the level of anxiety, in addition to increasing trust for nursing actions in patient care(1919. Baptista RCN, Paiva LAR, Gonçalves RFL, Oliveira LMN, Pereira MFCR, Martins JCA. Satisfaction and gains perceived by nursing students with medium and high-fidelity simulation: A randomized controlled trial. Nurs Educ Today. 2016;46:127-32. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nedt.2016.08.027
https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nedt.2016.08.0...
). However, in a randomized clinical trial carried out with 54 undergraduate nursing students, it was identified that students exposed to the simulation experience had shown stress related to the lack of competence and relationship difficulties, being necessary the proper planning by professors of the simulation activities, in order to minimize stressors that can impair learning(2020. Boostel R, Felix JVC, Bortolato-Major C, Pedrolo E, Vayego SA, Mantovani MF. Stress of nursing students in clinical simulation: a randomized clinical trial. Rev Bras Enferm. 2018;71(3):967-74. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2017-0187
http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/0034-7167-2017...
).

The International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning(2121. International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation. INACSL standards of best practice: simulation design. Clin Simul Nurs. 2016;12(5Suppl):S5-S12. http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2016.09.005
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ecns.2016.09...
) emphasizes the importance of standardized simulation design for the development of effective simulation experiences for learning, by identifying the need to use instruments that guide the professor in conducting the scenario, ensuring aspects of objectives and information, support, problem solving, feedback and realism. In this research, as an innovation to conduct the simulation scenario, the Linn Simulation Scenario Guide – Advanced Cardiorespiratory Arrest Maneuvers was used, which proposes the identification and description of the student’s expected actions, as well as the actions of actors and mannequins, providing the necessary rigor to conduct the scenario, minimizing the student’s insecurity in relation to the environment, the availability of necessary materials throughout the scene and the assistance to be provided. Thus, the skills to be developed are clearly described and provided to the student during the simulation activity, being an important aspect for achieving self-confidence and satisfaction with learning(2222. Fabri RP, Mazzo A, Martins JCA, Fonseca AS, Pedersoli CE, Miranda FBC, et al. Development of a theoretical-practical script for clinical simulation.

https://doi.org/10.5205/reuol.9373-82134...
).

Several researches have evaluated the students’ satisfaction and self-confidence with the simulation activity, aiming to know the gain in learning with these proposals and, if necessary, raising subsidies so that the learning objectives are achieved through identified necessary modifications(1414.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nedt.2017.11.0...
).

In this study, students’ satisfaction with learning was identified in the Advanced Cardiorespiratory Maneuvers simulation scenario. These data corroborate the satisfaction shown in simulation activities developed in other institutions.

In a survey conducted in southeastern Brazil, an average satisfaction of 4.29 ± 0.18 was identified by SSLCS in 38 undergraduate nursing students with two proposed simulation activities(2727. Bergamasco EC, Murakami BM, Cruz DALM. Use of the student satisfaction and self confidence in learning (SSSCL) and the simulation design scale (SDS) in nursing teaching: experience report. Sci Med. 2018;28(3):ID31036. http://dx.doi.org/10.15448/1980-6108.2018.3.31036
http://dx.doi.org/10.15448/1980-6108.201...
). In a survey conducted in the southern United States with 2,200 undergraduate nursing students exposed to simulation scenarios, the average satisfaction was 4.35 (SD ± 0.67)(2424. Franklin AE, Burns P, Lee CS. Psychometric testingon the NLN student satisfaction and self-confidence in learning, simulation design scale, and educational practices questionnaire using a sample of pre-licensure novice nurses.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nedt.2014.06.0...
). Also in Brazil, SSLCS was used to assess the satisfaction of nursing professionals in a health institution regarding satisfaction with simulation activities in the theme of care for critical patients, with satisfaction identified with the average learning of 3.9 ± 0.7(2626. Alconero-Camarero AR, Sarabia-Cobo CM, González-Gómez S, Ibáñez-Rementería I, Lavín-Alconero L, Sarabia-Cobo AB.

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nedt.2017.11.0...
).

In general, the research claims that the simulation allowed students to be involved in different perspectives, making them reflect and reformulate their practice, consolidating learning and satisfaction with it. However, there was no description of the use of an instrument that guided the development of the simulation scenario of the aforementioned researches, as well as of the activities of the informative session, entry of the theory and introduction to the environment(2424.

).

Although the methodological option of the study did not include the qualitative approach, students’ statements were identified at the time of debriefing, related to satisfaction, reinforcing the importance of the simulation activity for learning in a safe and close to the real environment, as shown through the statements: “The simulation allowed exposure to situations that would happen in real life and I probably would not know how to act”; “I felt safe with the simulation activity, as I have the possibility to make mistakes in a situation that could happen in real life” and “the controlled and identical to the real environment brought me security to provide nursing care”. In addition, the students reinforced essential points about the nursing care to patients in SCA, indicating the success in reaching the learning objectives, as they expressed: “we need to recognize the pace of cardiorespiratory arrest as soon as possible”; “It is necessary to check the pulse in less than 10 seconds” and “the coordinated nursing team is necessary for the assistance to be effective and agile in this case”. Points of attention were also raised by the participants: “the multiprofessional healthcare team needs to be more integrated, which have hindered the care provided”; “There was a delay in recognizing the stop rhythm” and “chest compressions fluctuated a lot in positioning, rhythm and depth”. It is possible to identify that this teaching methodology exposes students to a common professional nurse daily situation, assisting them in a theoretical-practical relationship in a safe and close to the real environment, favoring learning through an activity that, in addition to the development of technical skills, allows reflection and, consequently, the consolidation of knowledge to effectively provide nursing care in critical situations.

With regard to self-confidence, it is known that nurses with this characteristic develop the skills of critical analysis, reflection, problem solving and decision-making(2828. Mazzo A, Martins JCA, Jorge BM, Baptista RCN, Almeida RGS, Henriques FMD, et al. Validation of the self-confidence scale of nursing care in urinary retention. Rev Latino Am Enfermagem. 2015;23(5):814-20. https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-1169.0256.2619
https://doi.org/10.1590/0104-1169.0256.2...
).

Self-confidence, assessed on the SSLCS subscale, was high in the developed scenario. However, it is worth emphasizing the need to deepen the knowledge on the handling of nursing care devices, as well as the theoretical apparatus on the care of critical patients, besides the need for students’ commitment to the activities that precede the simulation, such as expository lectures, also employing a methodology of dialogue and discussion of issues, skill training and active participation in activities proposed by professors and lectures as a whole.

The present study corroborates the identification of the importance of using realistic clinical simulation in nursing education, particularly when related to careprovided during cardiorespiratory arrests, based on satisfaction and self-confidence with the learning evidenced in the students.

Subsidizing students and nursing professionals, through access to the benefits of this innovative teaching methodology, guarantees the improvement of technical and non-technical skills, qualifying nursing care as a whole.

As a limitation of the study, the reduced number of students participating in the activity was identified, imposed by the characteristic of smaller classes in the undergraduate course and the annual admission of nursing students to the institution.

CONCLUSION

Undergraduate nursing students have demonstrated satisfaction and self-confidence with learning from a realistic clinical simulation scenario on the theme of advanced cardiorespiratory arrest maneuvers.

The simulation scenario, when applied in order to contemplate the essential aspects for the execution of activities as recommended in the literature, through the use of a guide for conducting and minimizing stressors to students, coupled with feedback to assess satisfaction and self-confidence of these, ensures the achievement of the established learning objectives. Thus, realistic clinical simulation as a methodology supports educational institutions to promote the qualification of nursing care.
