Satisfaction with high-fidelity clinical simulation in cardiopulmonary resuscitation during Covid-19

ABSTRACT

Objective: To assess the satisfaction of novel nurses with high-fidelity clinical simulation in CPR training, during Covid-19. Methods: Cross-sectional descriptive observational study. Satisfaction Scale in High Fidelity Clinical Simulation was used, a validated 33-item questionnaire with a Likert-type response. Descriptive statistics and non-parametric inferential statistics (Spearman's correlation) were used to analyze the correlation between the variables. Results: N = 35 (100%). The mean overal satisfaction was 4.97 ± 0.17. The items related to the adequacy of the cases to the knowledge of the participants, the ability to provide care to patients, the benefit of simulation and the impact on improving their technical skills were the best scored (mean of 4.97). A positive and strong relationship was found between items 4-9, and 27-9 (rho = 0.804;p = 0.000). Conclusions: Satisfaction level of novel nurses with the high-fidelity clinical simulation was high, confirming its usefulness in the CPR learning process during Covid-19 or pandemic outbreaks of the same nature.
