Abstract

Objective: to identify the impact of clinical simulation as a continuing education strategy for nursing staff in a hospital setting. Methods: qualitative study, with 18 nurses and 23 nursing technicians who worked in Intensive Care Units and medical clinics of a highly complex hospital. The study was conducted in two stages: pre-testing of clinical simulation guidelines, with settings involving cardiopulmonary arrest and nasogastric tube insertion; and pre-test assessment using a semi-structured questionnaire, involving questions regarding the impact of clinical simulation as a continuing education strategy in the nursing team’s daily work. Content analysis was used for data analysis. Results: two categories emerged that highlight clinical simulation in hospital settings as a continuing education strategy that enables effective learning and impacts nursing know-how. Conclusion: clinical simulation impacts the development of professional competencies, technical skills, communication skills, leadership, critical thinking, and teamwork, all of which lead to improvements in care quality and patient safety. Contributions to practice: the results reinforce the importance of incorporating new pedagogical strategies, such as clinical simulation, into nursing training and continuing education.
