Abstract
CALDERON CALDERON, María Soledad; SANCHEZ RODRIGUEZ, José Rolando and RAMIRO JARA, Carla. Satisfaction of the Nursing Graduates about Simulated Hospital of Arturo Prat University, Vitoria Venue. Rev Cubana Enfermer [online]. 2020, vol.36, n.3 Epub Sep 01, 2020. ISSN 1561-2961.
Introduction:
Clinical simulation is a methodology widely used in health sciences due to its multiple benefits. It allows continuous training of the student, in order for them to learn from their mistakes and strengthen their skills. Arturo Prat University, at the Victoria venue, has developed high-reliability simulation through the implementation of a simulated children's hospital.
Objective:
To measure the level of satisfaction of Nursing graduates concerning the simulated children's clinical hospital as a significant methodology in their professional training.
Methods:
Descriptive and cross-sectional study. The study population consisted of 109 registered nurses from Arturo Prat University, who answered online, during the first quarter of 2019. A Likert survey about user satisfaction (SUHCLIS28) was conducted, previously validated by expert criteria and pilot test, with a Cronbach's alpha of 0.940 and made up of 28 items grouped into six dimensions (infrastructure, human resources, knowledge, methodology, evaluation and global evaluation).
Results:
The questions were answered mostly positively for this methodology, obtaining an overall user satisfaction level of 4.51 out of a maximum total of 5.0; the result is considered very high satisfaction value.
Conclusions:
Clinical simulation is a useful pedagogical tool, which contributes to the greater development of competences and skills. It is favorably accepted by students and, finally, contributes to their provision of safe and quality care to the real user.
