Objective: This work sought to assess the perception of knowledge transfer from clinical simulations to the care practice in nursing students through effective debriefing.
Methods: An observational, descriptive, and cross-sectional study was conducted with a sample of 281 students during the 2020-2021 course, through una ad hoc survey from the Debriefing Assessment for Simulation in Healthcare (DASH) in Spanish, to assess competence areas that undergraduate students must reach to complete their studies.
Results: The survey conducted after each simulation showed that the students valued positively the debriefing sessions conducted by experts, with a mean score of 6.61 over 7 [6.56%-6.65%] based on 675 surveys analyzed, given that each student conducted more than one simulation within the academic course. It was observed in 221 completed answers that what was learned in the simulation was transferred to the practice in 89.23% [86.39%-92.06%], specifically in areas of Communication, Patient safety, Teamwork, and Leadership.
Conclusion: In the perception by the participating students, the use of effective debriefing in clinical simulation enabled knowledge transfer to the care practice, proving to be a crucial tool that helps to improve the formation of the future nurses.
