Abstract

Objective: to validate clinical scenarios for simulation-based learning on the prevention and control of healthcare-associated infections. Methods: a methodological study of elaboration, content validation of two simulated clinical scenarios, and evaluation of the simulation design. Specialists (n=10) analyzed the scope, clarity, and relevance of the scenarios, and 44 undergraduate nurses evaluated the design using the Simulation Design Scale. Descriptive statistics, Content Validity Index, and Content Validity Ratio were used for analysis. Results: the items in the scenario presented a content validity index ≥ 0.8 and a content validity ratio predominantly ≥ 0.8. The scale presented an average of 4.7±0.2, indicating the adequacy of the scenarios by the participants of the simulation. Conclusion: the validation allowed the achievement of adequate quality of the proposed scenarios, which can be widely used for teaching infection prevention and control.
