Abstract:
Advanced simulation is a methodology that allows the development of technical skills and transversal skills such as teamwork and leadership. There are tools to measure the development of technical competencies and student satisfaction with the methodology, but not to measure the development and use of transversal competencies in the clinical practice setting.
Aim Of The Study:
To develop and validate a scale to measure the impact of clinical simulation on the development and application of teamwork and leadership competencies.
Design:
A multicentre study was carried out in two Spanish universities in which the Clinical Simulation Learning Teamwork and Leadership Scale was developed and validated.
Methods:
The study was carried out in several phases: development of the questionnaire using a Delphi method, pilot test and validation of the construct with a sample of 207 nursing students. Reporting of this research adheres to STROBE guidelines.
Results:
Content validity was checked according to Aiken's V for the three attributes of the questionnaire. Reliability or internal consistency was assessed with Cronbach's α and the sensitivity analysis showed no significant variation when any item was eliminated. On the other hand, McDonald's Omega statistic was used. Intraobserver reliability was taken from a sample of 47 students, in which it was observed that the intraclass correlation was positive.
Conclusions:
The Clinical Simulation Learning teamwork and leadership scale is a valid instrument for measuring the development of transversal competencies.
Implications For The Profession And/Or Patient Care:
This scale will provide information to evaluate the weight of the clinical simulation in the students' knowledge.
Impact:
It is a tool for evaluating transversal skills that is proven valid and will improve the training of students.
Reporting Method:
The instructions of the STROBE checklist have been followed.
Patient Or Public Contribution:
The students have participated in the knowledge transfer self-assessment.
