- NCT04512183
- Lead Sponsor
- University of Brasilia
- Brief 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.

- CROSSOVER
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Cognitive Performance (Retention) Applied thirty days after the intervention Students' knowledge about nursing care in sepsis measured using a structured questionnaire with six multiple-choice questions
Cognitive Performance (Baseline) Applied before the intervention Students' knowledge about nursing care in sepsis measured using a structured questionnaire with six multiple-choice questions
Cognitive Performance (Post-test) Applied immediately after the intervention Students' knowledge about nursing care in sepsis measured using a structured questionnaire with six multiple-choice questions
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Student stress (Post-test) Immediately after the intervention Assessment of students' stress intensity with pedagogical activities through the application of the Kezkak Stress Scale. This scale has 31 items of the Likert type of 4 points, being: 1 - Nothing stressful; 2 - A little stressful; 3 - Very stressful; 4 - Extremely stressful. The value 1 means less stress and 4 more stress.
