Abstract

Objective: to analyze the effect of clinical simulation in the level of anxiety pre- and post- training activity in different professional groups and Nursing students, and to assess the self-confidence perceived before/after the simulation in each group.
Methods: a quasi-experimental study in healthcare professionals (nurses, assistant nursing technicians or TCAE, and doctors), and Nursing students (4th year), who underwent for the first time a clinical simulation intervention at the Hospital General Universitario de Ciudad Real. The level of anxiety was evaluated before/after the simulation, through Spielberger’s STAI questionnaire, and the level of self-confidence perceived was also evaluated before / after the simulation. Descriptive analysis was conducted, and Student’s t test was used for mean comparison. Statistical significance was established at p< 0.05.
Results: the study included 53 subjects: 43 (81.2%) were professionals and 10 (18.8%) were Nursing students; their mean age (SD) was 39 (11.8) years; and 84.9% (n= 45) were female. The mean anxiety level (SD) at the start of the simulation was higher in Nursing students, with 24.6 (5.4), and lower in doctors, with 14.4 (5.8). After the intervention, the mean (SD) level of anxiety-status was reduced in all groups; it was significant (p< 0.001) in the TCAE group, with -13.1 (6.9) and nurses, with -12.5 (8.4). There was an increase in the level of self-confidence in all participants by the end of the activity.
Conclusions: the professionals who participated for the first time in a clinical simulation activity presented a high level of anxiety, though this was lower among doctors. There was a reduction in anxiety and increase in confidence by the end of the clinical simulation.
