Comparative study between high-fidelity simulation and medium-fidelity simulation in decision-making of nursing students: experimental study.

Objective: to compare the decision-making of Nursing students, before and after theoretical training on basic life support, using the practice of high-fidelity simulation and medium-fidelity simulation.

Method: an experimental study was developed, pre- and post-test type, with quantitative, descriptive and inferential analysis, with theoretical training on basic life support and clinical simulation practices, and with evaluation of knowledge and decision-making of Nursing students, at three different moments - before the simulation scenario (T0), after the simulation scenario (T1) and after clinical teaching (T2).

Results: 51 students participated in the research, with an average age of 20.
