- Abstract
Objective: To identify the effect of clinical simulation on the immediate and retained cognitive performance of students in a vocational course in nursing about their performance in emergencies in Primary Health Care. Methods: This is an intervention study, of before and after type, carried out with 46 students of a vocational course in nursing. Students were allocated into two groups: control and experimental. The control group had access to a theoretical class with demonstration of skill. The experimental group had access to a simulation session with four scenarios. In addition to the sociodemographic characterization, students responded to a knowledge test in three moments, namely: pre-test, immediate post-test and late post-test (after 30 days). A significance level of 5% was adopted, using the Mann-Whitney and Kruskal Wallis tests, Results: There was a statistical difference between the medians of control and experimental groups in the late post-test (p value=0.038), thus students in the experimental group retained more knowledge than those in the control group. Conclusion: Learning from clinical simulation conferred higher scores and retention of knowledge compared to those acquired through an expository class with demonstration of skills.
