ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Objective: To develop and validate a telesimulation scenario for nursing students in the care of late preterm infants with hypoglycemia. Methods: A methodological study conducted between August 2021 and May 2022 in a virtual environment involved constructing and validating the scenario with 10 experts, and testing it with 10 students. The content validity index assessed validity, with a threshold of 80% or higher, and suggestions were analyzed using semantic approximation. Results: Validation confirmed the appropriateness of all 14 scenario items, with an overall index of 97.8% and clarity and relevance indices of 98.5%. During testing, the overall index was 99.7%, with the "resources" item receiving the lowest score. Adjustments were made to objectives, technical terms, resources, and target audience based on feedback. Conclusion: Telesimulation is a widely accepted educational technology for training nursing students, with potential to enhance teaching quality and neonatal care.
RESUMEN Objetivo: Desarrollar y validar un escenario de telesimulación para estudiantes de enfermería en el cuidado de recién nacidos prematuros tardíos con hipoglucemia. Métodos: Estudio metodológico virtual entre agosto de 2021 y mayo de 2022, con construcción y validación del escenario por 10 expertos y prueba con 10 estudiantes. Se utilizó un índice de validez de contenido con umbral del 80% o superior y se analizaron sugerencias mediante aproximación semántica. Resultados: Validación confirmó la adecuación de los 14 elementos del escenario, con un índice general del 97.8% y claridad y pertinencia del 98.5%. En la prueba del escenario, el índice general fue del 99.7%, con "recursos" obteniendo la puntuación más baja. Se ajustaron objetivos, términos técnicos, recursos y público objetivo según comentarios recibidos. Conclusión: Telesimulación es una tecnología educativa ampliamente aceptada para formación de estudiantes de enfermería, con potencial para mejorar la calidad de la enseñanza y el cuidado neonatal.
RESUMO Objetivo: Elaborar e validar um cenário de telessimulação para estudantes de enfermagem no cuidado ao prematuro tardio com hipoglicemia. Métodos: Estudo metodológico, realizado entre agosto de 2021 e maio de 2022, em ambiente virtual envolvendo construção e validação de conteúdo com 10 especialistas e teste do cenário com 10 estudantes. Foi utilizado índice de validade de conteúdo igual ou superior a 80% e análise de sugestões por aproximação semântica. Resultados: Na validação, os 14 itens do cenário foram considerados adequados, com índice geral de 97,8% e 98,5% para clareza e pertinência, respectivamente. No teste do cenário, o índice foi de 99,7%, sendo que o item "recursos" obteve o menor escore. Foram realizados ajustes nos objetivos, termos técnicos, recursos e público-alvo. Conclusão: A telessimulação é uma tecnologia educacional viável e aceita na capacitação de estudantes de enfermagem e com potencial para melhorar a qualidade do ensino e da assistência neonatal.
ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Because of the social isolation and distancing measures that were imposed to stop the spread of coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19), new ways of teaching were implemented. OBJECTIVES: To describe the implementation of telesimulation and seek to assess students' perceptions regarding telesimulation. DESIGN AND SETTING: Retrospective quantitative study conducted within the hospital simulation at a private medical school in São Paulo, Brazil. METHODS: After telesimulation training, students answered a questionnaire that provided an overall assessment of this activity, self-assessment and assessments of the facilitators and infrastructure provided by the University. RESULTS: Among the students, 50% reported that the activity was below expectations and 45% reported that it was in line with their expectations. The strong points of the activity were the clinical cases, workload and teachers. The main challenge was students' difficulty in reflecting on their learning and the infrastructure. CONCLUSIONS: Since students have less experience and fewer clinical encounters than residents or professionals, they also face more difficulty. Although telesimulation may have provided a valid alternative to replace simulation training during the COVID-19 pandemic, more face-to-face activities should be offered to students, when possible.

RESUMEN Antecedentes: la actual pandemia causada por COVID-19 plantea desafíos a la enseñanza clínica al afectar el desarrollo normal de las actividades presenciales. Se necesitan soluciones que ayuden a mitigar esos efectos. Objetivo: el propósito de este estudio es presentar una estrategia de telesimulacion (TS) y analizar la perspectiva del diseño instruccional desde los estudiantes de grado de Cirugía. Material y métodos: 26 estudiantes tuvieron una inmersión en escenarios de alta fidelidad a distancia, a través de una plataforma de videoconferencia que les permitió experimentar y analizar situaciones críticas y tomar decisiones terapéuticas. El análisis de los datos se realizó desde un abordaje cuantitativo-cualitativo poniendo el foco en las vivencias de los participantes a partir de la encuesta de satisfacción, las transcripciones del debriefing (etapa reflexiva) y una pregunta abierta sobre percepción de aprendizaje, con el propósito de analizar la actividad en torno a las oportunidades de aprendizaje de razonamiento clínico y habilidades no técnicas como también los atributos del método percibidos por los estudiantes. Resultados: todos recomendarían la actividad a otro. Durante la etapa de debriefing emergen aspectos del rendimiento en relación con la hipótesis diagnóstica, la investigación complementaria, el tratamiento y las habilidades no técnicas. Además existió una percepción de aprendizaje más allá de la que ofrece la lectura de contenidos. Conclusión: la TS como oportunidad de aprendizaje favorece la enseñanza clínica. Como técnica, si bien puede lograr alta fidelidad, no puede descuidar los aspectos técnicos y tecnológicos que alterarían su curso.
ABSTRACT Background: The current COVID-19 pandemic poses additional challenges to clinical teaching by affecting the normal development of onsite activities. Solutions are necessary to mitigate these effects. Objective: The aim of this study is to present a telesimulation (TS strategy) and analyze the instructional design perspective of undergraduate students of surgery. Material and methods: Twenty-six students participated in the experience, immersed in high-fidelity virtual scenarios through a video conference platform in which they could experience and analyze critical situations and decide a therapeutic plan. Data analysis was carried out using a quantitative-qualitative approach, focusing on the participants' experiences reported in a satisfaction survey, debriefing transcriptions (reflective stage) and an open-ended question about the perception of learning aimed at analyzing the activity in terms of the opportunities to learn clinical reasoning, non-technical skills and the attributes of the method as perceived by the students. Results: All the students would recommend the activity to another peer. During debriefing, the aspects of performance related with the diagnostic hypothesis, complementary investigation, treatment and non-technical skills emerge. Furthermore, there was a perception of learning beyond that offered by content reading. Conclusion : Telesimulation as a learning opportunity favors clinical teaching. Although TS can achieve high fidelity as a technique, it cannot neglect the technical and technological aspects that would alter its course.
