Simulation-based nursing experience: a view from didactics

Experiencia basada en simulación en enfermería: una mirada desde la didáctica

Introduction: Simulation-based experience (SME) and didactics contribute to the nursing teaching and learning process by using three strategies, that is: procedure guidelines for developing operative clinical skills, study guidelines for developing lower-order thinking abilities, and clinical scenarios for developing higher-order thinking abilities. Objective: to answer the question: How does the simulation-based (SBE) experience articulates with the conceptual elements of Patricia Benner´s phenomenology theory, Kolb´s experiential learning theory and learning styles, deliberate practice described by Ericsson and Maestre et al, reflective practice? Discussion and Conclusions: deliberate experience-based and reflective learning in nursing education through clinical simulation integrating Patricia Benner´s phenomenology theory, contributes to nursing professionals training from level 1, beginners, to level V, experts, with a sense of belonging, enhanced by humanized caregiving values.
