- Validation of the Portuguese versions of the nursing students’ perceptions of learning and learner satisfaction with simulation toolPublication . Duarte, Hugo Miguel Santos; Dixe, Maria dos Anjos; Sousa, Pedro Miguel LopesBackground One of the new methodologies applied to the teaching of nursing is High-Fidelity Simulation (HFS). This type of simulation allows the nursing students to develop their clinical practice by using technological and sophisticated simulators. Recent investigations have studied the importance of HFS, through the level of perception of learning and of satisfaction of the students. Since there is a lack of instruments in Portuguese, we felt the necessity to translate and validate two evaluation scales of HFS. Objectives: Translate, validate transculturally and analyse the psychometrics features of two instruments: “Nursing Students’ Perceptions of Learning using a High- Fidelity Human Patient Simulator” and the “Learner Satisfaction with Simulation Tool”. Methods A linguistic and cultural translation was conducted with 139 Portuguese nursing students. Internal consistency reliability and exploratory factor analysis were performed. Results The Scale of Perception of Learning of the Nursing Students about HFS (SPLNS-HFS) has a Cronbach's Alpha of 0.942 and the Scale of Satisfaction of the Nursing Students about HFS (SSNS-HFS) of 0.969. Values of correlation of each item with the SPLNS-HFS are over 0.507, and of the SSNS-HFS over 0.633. The SPLNS-HFS shows a satisfactory factorial analysis’, with unifactorial structure, and the SSNSHFS revealed two factors – Utility of Simulation (α = 0.956) and Functionality of Simulation (α = 0.912). Conclusions The Portuguese versions of both scales are psychometrically reliable, cross-culturally valid, and useful measurement instruments for assessing the impact of High-Fidelity Simulation in nursing students.
- Perception of learning, satisfaction and self-efficacy of nursing students about High-Fidelity SimulationPublication . Duarte, Hugo Miguel Santos; Dixe, Maria dos Anjos; Sousa, Pedro Miguel LopesBackground Over the last years the teaching of nursing has been progressively directed to the use of new methodologies, among which we highlight the High-Fidelity Simulation (HFS), which allows nursing students to have their first contact with the clinical practice within the academic environment. Objective: To evaluate and correlate the perception of learning, satisfaction and self-efficacy of nursing students about HFS. Methods A correlational study with 139 nursing students was developed, using the Portuguese version of the Nursing Students’ Perceptions of Learning and Learner Satisfaction with Simulation Tool. Results Nursing students reveal a moderated perception of learning about the HFS (3.649 ± 0.513 out of 5 points), a good level of satisfaction (7.317 ± 1.065 out of 10 points) and a self-efficacy for the practice of HFS (31.590 ± 3.974 out of 40 points). All correlations between perception of learning, satisfaction and self-efficacy of the students regarding HFS were positive and highly significant (p ≤ 0.001), with values between 0.991 and 0.385. Conclusions This study reveals that nursing students are satisfied with the practice of HFS, as well as shows a positive perception of learning and self-efficacy about HFS. The fact that the correlations among these three variables are highly significant and positive, demonstrate the importance of the practice of HFS within the school environment, which allows the development of experiences of high value for the nursing students.
