Uso da Simulação Clínica In Situ como estratégia educacional para o atendimento da parada cardiorrespiratória em serviços de saúde : revisão integrativa

Abstract

The use of in situ simulations in care related to cardiorespiratory arrest is an effective tool in the process of continuing education for the health team. Thus justifying the need to encourage the practice of simulation, since it represents a low-cost investment when in loco and with good return, but which is still little disseminated and published as a strategy in health units, both nationally and internationally. Thus, the objective of this study was to analyze the scientific production in the national and international literature on the continuing education of nurses in the care of cardiorespiratory arrest, using the tool of clinical simulation in situ. The integrative literature review was used as a method for the selection of evidence, data collection was carried out in April 2022 by searching for publications in the electronic databases: Web of Science, Pubmed, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Latin American and Caribbean Literature in Health Sciences, Embase, Scopus and Google Scholar. The final sample consisted of 10 studies that answered the research question. As a result, it was identified that the use of simulation in the work environment improves professional practice and quality of care in the face of cardiorespiratory arrest. It was possible to identify and interpret evidence that demonstrates the benefits of using simulated exercises in the continuing education of health professionals, so given the evidence, it is suggested to implement this tool in the process of continuing education of nurses in situations such as cardiorespiratory arrest, and that studies need to be carried out based on controlled interventional research in order to generate data that can be compared with the education intervention ensuring patient safety and quality in health care.
