Construção e validação de instrumentos para experiências clínicas simuladas no atendimento de emergência ao paciente com dor torácica

Abstract

Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of death in Brazil and in the world, among them, the Acute Coronary Syndrome, which comprises diseases with an unfavorable prognosis, revealing a serious global public health problem. Studies show that prompt care of patients after the onset of the first symptoms is essential to reduce morbidity and mortality from the disease. This research aimed to build and validate instruments for application in a clinical simulation scenario in emergency care for patients with chest pain. This is a methodological study of construction and validation of instruments for clinical simulation. The instruments validated in this research were: the questionnaire (pre and post-test) and scenarios composed of scenario script, clinical case and evaluation checklist. For elaboration, the instruments were built through a scope review, in which it was possible to gather evidence from the literature on the subject, including guidelines, health manuals, national and international evidence for scientific basis. The validation stage took place through the Content Validation Index, in which each item is considered valid if it obtains a value of ≥ 0.80. In this stage, 15 judges with expertise in the subject and/or simulation participated. Data analysis was performed using SPSS software. After validation, a pilot test was carried out with a target audience and educational intervention. Thus, it is expected that the new instruments developed and validated contribute to the teaching, training and assessment of students and professionals in educational institutions and health services, using clinical simulation (a safe environment) as a method to bring theory closer together. and practice, consequently showing safe care.
