Summary

Simulation is an active teaching strategy capable of reproducing real situations and allowing practical experiences, in which the student is the protagonist of his own knowledge. Scientific evidence highlights, that exposure to the unknown or new can generate stress to the individual, but when dosed, to a certain extent it can increase the level of knowledge. Not infrequently, the lack of stress control can trigger physiological and subjective changes resulting from the increase in its level, such as situations that include the implementation of simulation scenarios in pedagogical teaching models.

Detailed description

Objective: To evaluate the effect of simulation (high and low fidelity) on the cognitive, physiological and emotional sphere of nursing students in caring for patients with signs of sepsis. Hypothesis of the study: Null hypothesis: Students undergoing high-fidelity simulation will show similar levels of stress, cognitive performance and retention of knowledge in relation to those who will perform low-fidelity simulation in patients with signs of sepsis. Alternative hypothesis: The cognitive performance and stress will be higher in students who experience high fidelity simulation when compared to students who experience low fidelity simulation.

Conditions

• Learning Process in Nursing Graduation
• Stress

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	High-Fidelity Simulation	Teaching strategy based on high-fidelity simulation, which simulates the reality of health care to promote meaningful learning.
OTHER	Low-Fidelity Simulation	Teaching strategy based on low-fidelity simulation, which simulates the reality of health care using less technological and less interactive mannequins.
