Description
Summary:Objective: to compare in situ simulation to the traditional didactic methodology, regarding the gain of self-confidence of nursing team professionals regarding cardiopulmonary arrest. Methods: quasi-experimental non-equivalent study, developed in an intensive care unit and emergency room of a general hospital. The intervention was an in situ simulation. For data collection, a professional characterization questionnaire was used, and the self-confidence aspect was assessed by the Self-Confidence Scale. Results with p≤0.050 were considered significant. Results: 37 nursing professionals participated. The pre-simulation experimental group was less self-confident (3.4±0.6) when compared to the control group (3.9±0.7). However, 30 days after the intervention, the experimental group showed a significant gain in confidence (p=0.040). Conclusion: the self-confidence of nursing professionals with regards to assisting patients in cardiopulmonary arrest improved significantly with the use of an in situ simulation, when compared to the traditional didactic methodology, through dialogue. Objetivo: comparar a simulação in situ em relação à aula didática tradicional, no ganho da autoconfiança de profissionais da equipe de enfermagem, em situação de parada cardiopulmonar. Métodos: estudo quasi-experimental, não equivalente, desenvolvido em unidade de terapia intensiva e pronto socorro de hospital geral. A intervenção foi a simulação in situ. Para coleta de dados, adotou-se questionário de caracterização profissional, a autoconfiança avaliada pela escala Self-Confidence Scale. Considerou-se significativo resultados com p≤0,050. Resultados: participaram 37 profissionais de enfermagem. O grupo experimental pré-simulação se mostrou menos autoconfiante (3,4±0,6) quando comparado ao grupo controle (3,9±0,7). Entretanto, 30 dias após a intervenção, o grupo experimental mostrou a manutenção de ganho significativo da confiança (p=0,040). Conclusão: a autoconfiança dos profissionais de enfermagem, direcionada à assistência ao paciente em parada cardiopulmonar, melhorou significativamente com emprego da simulação in situ, quando comparada à aula didática tradicional, dialogada.
