Brief Summary

Based on the hypothesis that incorporating SimCapture for Skills in the training of technical skills in undergraduate nursing students will increase their competence in the acquisition of technical skills in peer learning, we want to compare the qualification obtained through student self-assessment in the performance of the technique in traditional teaching with classroom teacher versus that obtained with the repetition of the practice with the support of the SimCapture for Skills interface without classroom teacher, as well as the student's perception in terms of satisfaction and self-confidence with both learning spaces. The costs associated with the two types of teaching will also be evaluated.

Conditions

Education, Nursing Students

Keywords

simulation; deliberate practice; peer to peer learning; technical skills; nursing

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Satisfaction and self-confidence acquired by students in both learning spaces.

  The Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale will be used to evaluate satisfaction and self-confidence, with 12 Likert-rated items (1 -strongly disagree- to 5 -strongly agree-).

  Immediately after learning with Simcapture and immediately after learning with the teacher in the classroom

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• Student self-assessment using the technique assessment grid created by the faculty.

  During learning with Simcapture or during learning with the teacher in the classroom, through study completion, an average of 3 months

Other Outcomes (2)

• Economic costs associated with each type of teaching extrapolating the data to the students enrolled in the subject

  Immediately after the learning with Simcapture and with teacher

• Number of times each student can practice the technique with the low-fidelity simulator in both learning spaces.

  During learning with Simcapture or during learning with the teacher in the classroom, through study completion, an average of 3 months

Study Arms (2)

Simcapture PRE

EXPERIMENTAL

In the PRE intervention group (before the traditional teaching) students will practice in pairs, with the same low fidelity simulator, the blood collection technique without a teacher in the classroom. In the SimCapture for Skills interface, the procedure of how to perform the technique (sequence of actions) will be developed in checklist format for the student to check step by step. They will be provided with the same material and classroom time as in traditional teaching (2h).

Other: Simcapture PRE

Simcapture POST

EXPERIMENTAL

In the POST intervention group (after the traditional teaching) the students will practice in pairs, with the same low fidelity simulator, the blood collection technique without a teacher in the classroom. In the SimCapture for Skills interface, the procedure of how to perform the technique (sequence of actions) will be developed in checklist format for the student to check step by step. They will be provided with the same material and classroom time as in traditional teaching (2h).

Other: Simcapture POST

• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:
