• Status: Unknown
• Phase: N/A
• Study type: Interventional

• Sponsor: University of Brasilia · Academic / Other
• Sex: All
• Age: 18 Years
• Healthy volunteers: Accepted

Summary

Teaching modalities that integrate digital educational technologies, such as educational games, dummies and simulated environments, develop critical thinking in students, the absorption of significant learning and the consequent reduction in the exposure of patients to the damage associated with health care. Thus, this study will evaluate the effectiveness of simulation strategies and digital educational platforms in the teaching-learning process, in self-confidence and its implications for the physiological variables and stressful feelings of undergraduate nursing students. Our hypothesis is that students submitted to the use of digital platforms will present lower levels of self-efficacy, capacity for clinical judgment and retention of knowledge when compared to those who were submitted to the simulation strategy.

Detailed description

The study will be carried out in the simulation laboratory of two Higher Education Institutions, one public and the other private in the city of Brasília, Brazil. The sample will consist of 100 students randomized into an experimental group (n=50) and a control group (n=50). Students enrolled in the undergraduate nursing course, aged 18 years or over, will be eligible; have minimal approval in a discipline related to the content of "Nursing Care for Adult Patients". Students who work actively in the scenario of patient care in critical and risk situations will be excluded; members of the Academic League of Realistic Health Simulation and those with prior training in the health field. It is expected that nursing students, through active and innovative strategies, will be able to obtain and retain greater knowledge, raise levels of self-efficacy and clinical judgment, for their performance in clinical practice.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	Educational digital platforms	The digital educational platforms will be implemented through games of questions and answers, simulated cases sent via google forms about the nurse's performance in a critical care unit facing the patient with signs and symptoms of sepsis. The questions in the games will aim to develop clinical judgment and quick decision-making in nursing students in order not to compromise the health care of the patient in sepsis.
