Abstract
Objective:
to evaluate the effectiveness of the clinical simulation on the cognitive
performance of nursing students in adult immunization scenarios in the
context of Primary Health Care.
Method:
a controlled and randomized pre-test and post-test clinical trial applied to
random intervention and control groups. 34 undergraduate nursing students
were selected and divided into two groups: classes with active participation
of students and skills training (control); and classes with active
participation of students, skills training, and clinical simulation
(intervention).
Results:
the students in the intervention group performed better than those in the
control group in the four assessments of cognitive performance, with
statistical significance in the assessments of immediate (p=0.031) and late
(1-20 days) (p=0.031) knowledge.
Conclusion:
from the simulation, students learn more in the short and medium terms. The
information learned is retained for longer and the students are better
prepared for the professional practice. Universal Trial Number:
