Simulation in cardiorespiratory arrest: assessment of satisfaction with the learning of nursing students*

Abstract

Objective: To evaluate the satisfaction and self-confidence of undergraduate nursing students’ learning in a scenario of realistic clinical simulation with the theme of advanced cardiopulmonary arrest maneuvers. Method: Exploratory-descriptive study, with a quantitative approach. In order to evaluate the simulation activity developed undergraduate nursing students responded to the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence with Learning Scale. Results: 19 students participated in the study. Students’ satisfaction and self-confidence with learning were identified, with an average of 4.17 ± 0.59 in the developed scenario. In the subscale of satisfaction with current learning and in the subscale of self-confidence with learning, 86.3% and 76.6% of students scored the items in a maximum way (4-5), respectively. Conclusion: Nursing students demonstrate satisfaction and self-confidence with learning from a realistic clinical simulation scenario on the theme of advanced cardiorespiratory arrest maneuvers.
