Objectives:
to develop and validate a model for designing clinical simulation scenarios based on Jeffries Theory.
Methods:
qualitative, methodological study based on Pasquali's psychometrics and Jeffries' theory, conducted in three phases: (1) theoretical analysis and model development, including expert interviews (n = 20); (2) semantic analysis; and (3) content validation by specialists. Data were analyzed using IRAMUTEQ software. Content Validity Index (CVI) and Cronbach's alpha were calculated.
Results:
a total of 32 professionals participated, mostly nurses with experience in simulation. Theoretical analysis and interviews led to the initial model; semantic analysis refined it; and validation produced the final version. The model showed a 94% CVI and 0.886 Cronbach's alpha, aligning with Jeffries' key categories: Context, Background, Design, Simulated Experience, Facilitator, Educational Strategies, Participant, and Outcomes.
Final Considerations:
the model was validated, being recommended as a structured and scientifically grounded basis for designing clinical simulation scenarios.
