Validation of a technical product to evaluate clinical skills of nursing students in realistic simulation in pre-hospital care

Abstract

Objective: To validate an instrument for assessing the skills, abilities, and attitudes of nursing students during the practice of realistic simulation in pre-hospital care. Methodology: Methodological study carried out through the Delphi Method at a Private Faculty in Recife from March to June 2019. Eleven teachers participated in the content validation using the Likert Scale, through the application of a self-responsive form with 21 items. Data analysis was performed using the Content Validation Index and Cronbach's Alpha. Results: The content validation had scores of 0.8 indicating high validity of the instrument regarding questions of realistic simulation in pre-hospital care. The instrument's reliability obtained a value of 0.79 assessed as substantial, considering the reliability classification table of Cronbach's alpha. Conclusion: The technical product called "Form for evaluating knowledge, skills and attitudes in pre-hospital care in Realistic Simulation" was validated, with 21 items evaluated with satisfactory Content Validity and Cronbach's Indexes.
