“Satisfação” e “autoconfiança” em estudantes de Enfermagem e Medicina que vivenciaram atividade simulada: estudo transversal

Abstract

Objective: to assess the constructs of “satisfaction” and “self-confidence” in nursing and medical students who experenced simulated clinical experiences. Methods: a cross-sectional study was conducted in november 2018 with 43 students from the medicine and nursing courses of a Brazilian federal public university. The simulated activity was a multiple-victim incidente involving a collision between a bus and a passenger vehicle. The constructs of “satisfaction” and “self-confidence” were evaluated at the endof the simulated activity using the “Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence Scale in Lerning”. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics in SPSS version 23.0 program. Results: among the participants, the majority were female (27-62.7%), with a mean age of 23.32 years for medicine students and 23.38 years for nursing students. The median for both courses was the eighth semester. There was no difference in the profile of study participants between medicine and nursing students (p>0.05). Overall, the students reported higher levels of “satisfaction” than ‘self-confidence” with the simulated activity, and there was a strong positive correlation between the constructs and the simulated activity. There was no correlation between the students’ course semester and their levels of satisfaction and self-confidence (p>0.05). Conclusions: the simulated activity generated more satisfaction than self-confidence in the students. Higher levels of satisfaction were associated with higher levels of self-confidence in learning.
