Performance of Baccalaureate Nursing Students in Insertion of Laryngeal Mask: a Trial in Mannequins

Overview

The purpose of this study is to compare if there difference in acquisition of knowledge and skills in airway management to baccalaureate nursing students submitted to different learning strategies: exhibition-dialogued class and practical activity in skill lab with low-fidelity mannequin or simulation class with low-fidelity mannequin.

The airway control is priority in patient resuscitation. The Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) can minimize complications, establishing a safe airway. Is fundamental to nurse acquired skills to act in emergency situations; the simulation is a important learning tool for this, because allows a realistic environment and allows to student the possibility of training skills. Hypothesis: There difference in acquisition of knowledge and skills in airway management to baccalaureate nursing students submitted to different learning strategies: classroom lecture-dialogued follow of laboratory activity practice with low-fidelity mannequin or simulation in laboratory with low-fidelity mannequin? The aim of this study is compare the effect of teaching-learning strategies: classroom lecture-dialogued follow of laboratory activity practice with low-fidelity mannequin or simulation in laboratory with low-fidelity mannequin, in the acquisition of knowledge and skills to baccalaureate nursing. This is a randomized controlled trial, the population is all students of baccalaureate nursing of EERP-USP, eighth period, 69 students in total; the sample will be voluntary and composed for students that accept participate of study. The intervention group (IG) will be submitted to simulation class and the control group (CG)to exhibition-dialogued class, and practical activity in skill lab. The study will have 3 steps: 1. The participants will be recruited with letters and posters, randomized to IG or CG and follow submitted to write pre-test. 2. The GI will submitted to simulation in laboratory and de CG classroom lecture-dialogued follow of laboratory activity practice. The focus will be the airway management with emphasis in LMA. 3. All participants will be submitted to write post test and follow to practice test in simulation scenario, with medium-fidelity mannequin, which simulates human physiologic conditions. The scenario will have a appraiser with a checklist which performance scores of skills and interventions observed. The activities will be filmed and recorded. To data analysis will be used the SPSS software: descriptive statistics, chi-square test, t-test of Student.
