Abstract

ABSTRACT INTRODUCTION: the literature shows that students who participate in simulated activities with previous clinical experience achieve less positive results in simulation than those without previous contact with the clinical field. OBJECTIVE: to identify the implications of the clinical practice on student satisfaction and self-confidence with simulated clinical activities in comfort and hygiene measures for patients using disposable diapers. METHOD: a quantitative, quasi-experimental study conducted in a public university in the inland of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, using two instruments for assessing student satisfaction and self-confidence with simulated clinical practices: the Scale of Satisfaction and Self-confidence in Learning (Escala de Satisfação e Autoconfiança no Aprendizado - ESAA) and the Scale of Satisfaction with Simulated Clinical Experiences (Escala de Satisfação com as Experiências Clínicas Simuladas - ESECS). RESULTS: 100 undergraduate nursing students participated in the study. Students with previous clinical experience had more significant values in the "self-confidence” item, so did students without clinical experience for the "realism” item of the scales. CONCLUSION: clinical simulation is enriching from the point of view of student learning, satisfaction and self-confidence, but it does not dispense with the actual clinical practice of students in the clinical field.
