Abstract

Simulation in health education is a tool that allows the student to learn in a protected and controlled environment, free from intercurrences and with instant feedback of the task performed. Simulation assists the instructor to evaluate the procedure performed and allows them to intervene at any moment, warning or instructing the student. This study aimed to evaluate the evolution of students’ self-confidence and trust after simulated learning in a manikin during a curricular component of Periodontics and its correlation with practical performance. Questionnaires using visual analog scale (VAS), 101-point numeric rating scale (NRS-101) and 4-point verbal rating scale (VRS-4) were applied to students enrolled in Periodontics I course at the Federal University of Paraná, Curitiba, Brazil, in the first term of 2018, in three different moments: 1) before the beginning of the practical activities; 2) after the laboratory phase; and 3) after the clinical phase. The data from the questionnaires were correlated with the final practical performance. Students reported being more self-confident and secure at the end than the beginning of the term (Friedman; p<0.05). This evolution was noted mainly between the first and second questionnaire applications, after the laboratory phase with simulation. There was a correlation between self-confidence and trust measured in NRS-101 and the practical performance (Spearman; r=0.3948 and r=0.3771, respectively; p<0.05). Students’ self-confidence and trust increased after simulated learning, which was slightly more valuable for the evolution of these aspects in comparison to the clinical experience.
