Summary

Realistic simulation is an effective teaching strategy for the acquisition and retention of knowledge and increased self-confidence of students, which contribute to safety in performing nursing actions.Considering the need to adopt safe practices in health since professional training, there are deficiencies in health teaching and weaknesses in the acquisition of practical skills guided by safety principles and critical clinical reasoning. The purpose is to compare the use of high fidelity simulation with traditional education as innovative method in the process of teaching and learning. This is a prospective, randomized, controlled and single-blind study, of pre-test and post-test experimental type, with application of high fidelity simulation in the theme of patient safety in administration of parenteral drugs.

Conditions

  • Compliance Behavior

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Realistic simulation

The students enrolled and selected according to the inclusion criteria will be randomized into two groups. The experimental group will experience the combined teaching methodology: dialogue-exhibition and realistic simulation.

BEHAVIORAL

control group

The control group will have contents exposed solely from the dialogue-exhibition.

BEHAVIORAL

Simulation workshop

Check the performance of students in face of simulated situations on medication administration by intramuscular and intravenous routes experienced in the Skills and Care Simulation Laboratory.

BEHAVIORAL

Test realistic simulation

Occurs after the end of the three-month intervention. At that time, students from the control and intervention groups will be asked to take a knowledge retention test in cognitive assessment format and OSCE format (objective structured clinical examination).
