Construction and validation of simulated scenarios in the emergency care of patients with chest pain

For nursing students

Study summary

Construction and validation of simulated scenarios in the emergency care of patients with chest pain is best read as a open access journal article connected to Clinical Simulation, Open Access, Nursing Research. It comes from Revista Gaúcha de Enfermagem (2023) and should be used as a source-grounded learning record rather than a stand-alone practice guideline.

The record is tagged as BR research with source authority still to be reviewed and doaj access metadata. Those provenance details shape how strongly the article should be used. A high-authority or open-access record can be easier to verify and cite; a record with weak rights or country metadata should still be useful, but students should document what is known and what remains uncertain.

ABSTRACT Objective: To construct and validate clinical simulation scenarios for emergency care for patients with chest pain. Methods: A methodological study carried out in two stages: construction and validity. The construction took place through the survey of evidence from national and international literature. The validity stage took place through instrument assessment by judges, according to the Content Validity Index and application of a pilot test with the target audience. Fifteen judges with expertise in simulation, teaching and/or care participated in the research, in addition to 18 nursing students, in the pilot test. Results: Two scenarios of clinical simulation were constructed, and all the assessed items obtained a value above 0.80, showing evidence of validity, being considered instruments suitable for application. Conclusion: The research contributed to the development and validity of instruments that can be applied for teaching, assessment and training in clinical simulation in emergency care for patients with chest pain.
