Relación entre la autopercepción y autoeficacia para el desarrollo de competencias en soporte vital en entornos de simulación clínica de alta fidelidad

摘要

Objective To determine if there is a correlation between self-perception and self- efficacy in the development of learning abilities associated with the care of the critically ill patient in a Clinical Environment of High Fidelity Simulation, as part of the training for nursing students in the field of Life Support. Method Quasi-experimental study carried out in academic year 2014-2015 with two groups of Nursing Degree students, and applying pre/post measurement tests. The students were subjected to the same simulation experience, that of a critical patient with a possible progression to cardiac arrest. Simulation training, self-perception, and self-efficacy were used as theoretical framework, as well as the latest recommendations by European Resuscitation Council. Results A significant increase in self-perception for the development of competences associated with a critical situation was observed in both groups. As for self-perception and self-efficacy, some variations were found between the groups. Conclusions The results found allow us to recommend clinical simulation for the training of students in critically ill patients, since there is a significant increase in the level of self-perception for the development of competences associated with critical care. Likewise, clinical simulation provides a positive link between self-perception and self-confidence in the students.
