Abstract

Doi: 10.5902/2179769211474

Objective: to report the experience of using iPads as educational and creative tool in situations of learning simulation in a Human Care Laboratory (HCL) of Nursing. Methods: experience report on the use of information technology in realistic simulation as a pedagogical strategy for teaching procedures and nursing care. The project started in the second semester of 2012, with undergraduate nursing students of the fifth and sixth semesters. The same professor was responsible for creating and implementing the activities in the HCL. Results: there was a 50% increase in the demand in the HCL for simulation techniques as learning resource. The undergraduate students participating in the simulation reported greater satisfaction with learning abilities and logical reasoning in the subject’s institutional evaluation. Final Considerations: with this proposal, we practiced abilities that can result in a decrease of adverse events for patients and enhance their safety without loss for the students’ learning process.
