Perception about the practice of urinary catheter application with clinical simulator

Abstract

The purpose of this research was to know the perception regarding the willingness to use a low cost prototype to perform clinical simulation practices specifically to learn the application of urinary catheters. Therefore, a descriptive exploratory survey was applied, from October 15 to 30, 2018. Among the main results, it was discovered that 41% of the respondent’s state that they have seen the procedure of placement of the bladder catheter, but not performed. And 30% say they have seen and performed such a procedure, so it was concluded that it is feasible to take action to carry out the didactic prototype so that more students are involved in learning. Currently considered as a trend in learning tools, simulators facilitate the understanding and acquisition of knowledge and skills. So respondents became aware and were motivated to make and use prototypes as a teaching tool in clinical simulation.
