Background: Simulated clinical experiences, also known as simulated clinical practices or simulation, are dynamic and challenging training activities that occur in a controlled environment using scenarios that recreate real-life clinical practice.
Objective: To examine nursing students’ satisfaction with simulated clinical experiences.
Methodology: This quantitative descriptive-correlational study was conducted with 223 nursing students, using the Escala de Satisfação com as Experiências Clínicas Simuladas (ESECS; Satisfaction with Simulated Clinical Experiences Scale), which includes the Practical, Cognitive, and Realism dimensions.
Results: The total mean of global satisfaction with the simulated clinical experiences was 7.501 on a scale of 1 to 10. The socio-demographic characteristics and course year and contents were not predictors of satisfaction. On average, students were more satisfied with the Cognitive dimension and less satisfied with the Realism dimension.
Conclusion: Students are satisfied with simulated clinical experiences and understand their importance for acquiring skills and improving their ability to respond during clinical teachings in real-life contexts. For this reason, the theoretical, scientific, and practical investment in this teaching strategy is highly relevant.
