About this study
Official title: Study to Evaluate the Cost-effectiveness of SimCapture for Skills Digital Technology for the Acquisition of Technical Skills Competencies in Peer-to-peer Learning of Undergraduate Nursing Students
Based on the hypothesis that incorporating SimCapture for Skills in the training of technical skills in undergraduate nursing students will increase their competence in the acquisition of technical skills in peer learning, we want to compare the qualification obtained through student self-assessment in the performance of the technique in traditional teaching with classroom teacher versus that obtained with the repetition of the practice with the support of the SimCapture for Skills interface without classroom teacher, as well as the student's perception in terms of satisfaction and self-confidence with both learning spaces. The costs associated with the two types of teaching will also be evaluated.
Read the detailed description
The traditional teaching with a teacher in the classroom will be received by all the students enrolled in the course. Among these students, two intervention groups will be assigned. One group will train the skills practice with the SimCapture for Skills interface before the traditional teaching with the teacher in the classroom (PRE group) and another group will do it afterwards (POST group).
Skills training:
Prebriefing phase: the court of students, before attending the practice with the low fidelity simulator, both in traditional teaching and teaching with SimCapture, will study in the Virtual Campus of the subject, the procedure of how to perform the technique (sequence of actions) in Word format, and will visualize an example video. They will be administered a knowledge test before the practice to evaluate the acquisition of theoretical concepts.
Simulation phase:
In traditional teaching (2h duration) students will practice in pairs, with the low fidelity simulator, the blood collection technique. The teacher will give them immediate feedback as they practice the technique (zone 0 of the SimZones model). The ratio is 1 teacher to 8 students.
In the PRE intervention group (before the traditional teaching) students will practice in pairs, with the same low fidelity simulator, the blood collection technique without a teacher in the classroom. In the SimCapture for Skills interface, the procedure of how to perform the technique (sequence of actions) will be developed in checklist format for the student to check step by step. They will be provided with the same material and classroom time as in traditional teaching (2h). In each classroom there will be 8 students (4 pairs) and one teacher will supervise 2 classrooms.
In the POST intervention group (after the traditional teaching) the students will practice in pairs, with the same low fidelity simulator, the blood collection technique without a teacher in the classroom. In the SimCapture for Skills interface, the procedure of how to perform the technique (sequence of actions) will be developed in checklist format for the student to check step by step. They will be provided with the same material and classroom time as in traditional teaching (2h). In each classroom there will be 8 students (4 pairs) and one teacher will supervise 2 classrooms.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Satisfaction and self-confidence acquired by students in both learning spaces.
The Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale will be used to evaluate satisfaction and self-confidence, with 12 Likert-rated items (1 -strongly disagree- to 5 -strongly agree-).
Measured: Immediately after learning with Simcapture and immediately after learning with the teacher in the classroom
Secondary outcomes (1)
Student self-assessment using the technique assessment grid created by the faculty.
Checklist technical skills: Rubric with 76 actions to be performed according to the technical procedure. The % of actions correctly performed over the total (n/76*100) will be analyzed.
Measured: During learning with Simcapture or during learning with the teacher in the classroom, through study completion, an average of 3 months
