AI Article Synopsis
- The study explores how nursing students perceive their experiences using an aged simulation suit to enhance their training.
- Through qualitative interviews, key themes emerged that include understanding the elderly's perspective, facing their own aging, and developing professional skills.
- The results suggest that while students grappled with sensory and motor limitations, they also gained valuable skills that could improve their future patient care and overall health outcomes.
Article Abstract
Background: The use of simulation in the training of nurses has increased in the last decades, allowing the acquisition and development of several competencies.
Objective: Understand the experiences of nursing students who used the aged simulation suit.
Methodology: Qualitative study of a phenomenological nature. The participants were nursing students, who used the aged simulation suit. Data collection was made through the interview, and the data analysis was performed following the Giorgi phenomenological method.
Results: Three themes reflect the essence of the experience: Wear the skin of the elderly; Confrontation with their own ageing process; Skills development.
Conclusion: If, on the one hand, the students who used the aged simulation suit experienced sensory and motor impairment and consequent confrontation with their own ageing process, on the other hand, they experienced the development of scientific, relational and citizenship skills. It is expected that the results of this work will foster the use of the aged simulation suit as a complementary methodology, with potential impact on the quality of care and health gains.
