Clinical simulation with collaborative learning strategies and case method to achieve basic Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation learning outcomes in nursing students

Abstract

Objective: determine the effectiveness of clinical simulation integrating collaborative learning strategies and case method to achieve learning results in the basic CPR procedure in nursing students.

Methodology: quantitative research, with a quasi-experimental design that measured collaborative learning scenarios and clinical simulation of case studies in two moments: with a pre- and post-test. The sample was made up of 16 seventh-semester nursing students from a higher education institution in San Gil (Santander-Colombia). An instrument, a Likert scale questionnaire, was used to collect data. For the reliability of the instrument, Cronbach's Alpha was used. IBM SPSS Statistics software (version 25) was used in the statistical analysis, and descriptive analysis of the variables was performed.

Results: after the intervention, nursing students improved their level of knowledge and practical skills for the basic CPR procedure with the use of collaborative learning and case method in clinical simulation.

Conclusion: the integration of clinical simulation with collaborative work strategies and case method, in this study, has proven to be effective in improving both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in the basic CPR procedure.
