Nursing consultation in reproductive planning: scenario validation and checklist for debriefing

Abstract

Objective

To develop and validate a scenario and its checklist for debriefing on nursing consultation in reproductive planning for use in clinical simulation as a teaching strategy in nursing education.

Methods

This is a methodological study developed in five stages: overview, scenario, scenario design progression, debriefing and assessment. The study was carried out between April and December 2019 at a public university in the Federal District. A total of 7 participants were needed to validate the scenario (3 nursing students in the role of actors and 4 professionals in the role of judges). Based on judges’ analysis and completion of a Likert-type scale, which assessed aspects related to the scenario script and its use as a teaching tool, Content Validity Index (CVI) was calculated. It was defined as validated if it reached a CVI ≥ 0.90. Other variables related to the profile of judges were expressed as absolute and relative frequencies.

Results

The scenario had a mean CVI of 0.98, representing high agreement among judges as to its suitability as a teaching tool. Only the item “Materials and equipment available to students” had a CVI below the established (0.75); however, all suggestions proposed by the judges for its adequacy were accepted.

Conclusion

The scenario developed in this study obtained a satisfactory CVI value, characterizing itself as validated, fit and reliable for its application in clinical simulations as a nursing teaching method.

Introduction

For various reasons, women from developing countries who want to avoid pregnancy cannot, and most of them end up getting pregnant in an unwanted way. Undesired and unplanned pregnancies increase maternal, perinatal and child morbidity and mortality rates due to the later onset of prenatal care, which is a frequent fact in this population, in addition to the lesser commitment of these mothers to care during pregnancy, childbirth and the puerperium.( 11. Ferreira AL, Souza AI. Unmet contraceptive demand. Rev Bras Saúde Mater Infant. 2018;18(4):693-4. )

Maternal, perinatal and child mortality rates would be reduced if reproductive rights were more accessible, promoting health care for the population and favoring more autonomy in social, economic and health aspects due to individuals’ ability to make conscious decisions, based on knowledge. In the long term, unwanted or unplanned pregnancy can still have repercussions on family relationships, predisposing children to situations of violence, which can generate permanent trauma.( 11. Ferreira AL, Souza AI. Unmet contraceptive demand. Rev Bras Saúde Mater Infant. 2018;18(4):693-4. )

A country that cares for the reproductive planning of its population is more likely to improve education and reduce poverty.( 11. Ferreira AL, Souza AI. Unmet contraceptive demand. Rev Bras Saúde Mater Infant. 2018;18(4):693-4. )With this in mind, in 2015 member countries of the United Nations launched the 2030 agenda with 17 global goals for the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG), in which goal number 5 refers to achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls. Among the actions of SDG 5 is the guarantee of universal access to reproductive rights and sexual health.( 22. Instituto de Pesquisa Econômica Aplicada (IPEA). Cadernos ODS 5: Alcançar a Igualdade de Gênero e Empoderar todas as Mulheres e Meninas. O que mostra o retrato do Brasil. Brasília (DF): IPEA; 2019. 62 p. [citado 2021 Jul 26].

)Therefore, it is perceived that access to sexual and reproductive rights is a global concern.

In Brazil, reproductive planning is regulated by Law 9,263 of 1996. The State must provide health actions and services that promote access to information and to all methods of conception and contraception available within the Unified Health System ( Sistema Único de Saúde ), in order to guarantee the free decision of citizens about their reproduction.( 33. Bezerra EJ, Almeida TS, Passos NC, Paz CT, Borges-Paluch LR. Planejamento reprodutivo na estratégia saúde da família: estudo qualitativo sobre a dinâmica do atendimento e os desafios do programa. Arq Cien Saúde UNIPAR. 2018;22(2):99-108. )Despite this regulation, unplanned pregnancy is still prevalent in our country, exceeding 50% of all pregnancies.( 44. Santos JM, Matos TS, Mendes RB, Freitas, AK, Leite AM, Rodrigues ID. Influence in the reproductive planning and the women`s satisfaction with the discovery of being pregnant in the quality of prenatal care in Brazil. Rev Bras Saúde Mater Infant. 2019;19(3):537-43. )

The effective implementation of reproductive planning involves from cultural and social aspects to operational aspects of the health system. In Brazil, issues such as failures in the systematization of health services and actions, difficulty in accessing or unavailability of contraceptive methods, lack of knowledge for correct use and low quality of care provided by health professionals are gaps identified by researchers.( 33. Bezerra EJ, Almeida TS, Passos NC, Paz CT, Borges-Paluch LR. Planejamento reprodutivo na estratégia saúde da família: estudo qualitativo sobre a dinâmica do atendimento e os desafios do programa. Arq Cien Saúde UNIPAR. 2018;22(2):99-108. , 55. Flores GT, Landerdahl MC, Cortes LF. Ações de enfermeiras em planejamento reprodutivo na atenção primária à saúde. Rev Enfermagem UFSM. 2017;7(4):643-55. )To minimize these gaps, healthcare professionals must be prepared to work in reproductive planning since graduation.

Nurses are essential professionals to develop actions in the field of sexual and reproductive health.( 66. Franze AM, Benedet DC, Wall ML, Trigueiro TH, Souza SR. Reproductive Planning in health guidelines: na integrative review. REFACS. 2019;7(3):366-77. )Their training based on active teaching methodologies favors theoretical-practical knowledge and the improvement of skills for professional practice, and one of the active methodologies increasingly used in nursing is clinical simulation.( 77. Ponce de Leon CG, Silva AK, Ribeiro LM, Brasil GC, Guarda LE, et al. Development and validation of clinical cases to be used in maternal-child nursing education. Rev Enferm Referência. 2018;4(18):51-62. , 88. Powers K. Bringing simulation to the classroom using an unfolding video patient scenario. A quasi-experimental study to examine student satisfaction, self-confidence, and perceptions of simulation design. Nurse Educ Today. 2020;86:104324. )

Clinical simulation stands out as an innovative and effective teaching methodology, able to fill gaps in learning and articulate theory and practice through real cynical situations in a safe and controlled environment, based on learners’ autonomy.( 77. Ponce de Leon CG, Silva AK, Ribeiro LM, Brasil GC, Guarda LE, et al. Development and validation of clinical cases to be used in maternal-child nursing education. Rev Enferm Referência. 2018;4(18):51-62. )Scenario elaboration and validation studies have been gaining visibility in the scientific community by obtaining a more trustworthy scenario to reality with the scenario validation method.( 99. Usero-Pérez C, Jiménez-Rodríguez ML, González-Aguña A, González-Alonso V, Orbañanos-Peiro L, Santamaría-García JM, et al. Validation of an evaluation instrument for responders in tactical casualty care simulations. Rev Lat Am Enferm. 2020;28:e3251. , 1010. Andrade PO, Oliveira SC, Morais SC, Guedes TG, Melo GP, Linhares FM. Validation of a clinical simulation setting in the management of post partum haemorrhage. Rev Bras Enferm. 2019;72(3):624-31. )

Given the above, this study aimed to develop and validate a scenario and its checklist for debriefing on nursing consultation in reproductive planning for use in clinical simulation as a teaching strategy in nursing education.

Methods

This is a methodological study that followed the stages proposed by Guilbert and Adamson (2016), based on the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning (INACSL) recommendations.( 1111. Guilbert M, Adamson KA. Making sense of methods and measurement: validation part II. Clin Simulation Nurs. 2016;12:275-6. )It is noteworthy that the first four stages were essentially theoretical, conducted by the researchers and the fifth stage corresponded to the scenario and checklist validation for debriefing.

  • Stage 1 – Overview: reflection on issues that supported the scenario preparation. From the definition of the theme on which the scenario would be addressed, its learning objectives as a teaching activity and an extensive reading to gather up-to-date scientific evidence, in this stage, the researchers thought about basic organizational issues so that the created scenario was viable and reproducible. At the end of this stage, the theoretical subjects that would be recommended to educators to address in the classroom were considered before the students were included in the scenario.

  • Stage 2 – Scenario: preparation of a scenario based on a solid theoretical basis, relevant clinical case and an environment close to reality. In this stage, the clinical case base of the scenario was elaborated according to everything that was defined in the previous stage.

  • Stage 3 – Scenario Design Progression: elaboration of simulation events plan (roles/actors, scripts, and when applicable dummy/simulator and its configuration). In this stage, with the base clinical case defined, the entire script was prepared with the lines and actions of each character and definition of which characters would be actors or simulators.

  • Stage 4 – Debriefing: elaboration of an assessment instrument and definition of discussion points for the scenario debriefing to be validated. To guide and standardize the assessment of professors who use this scenario in the future, a checklist for debriefing was elaborated. The instrument was structured into categories, such as observations for professional attitude, investigation and conduct. It is noteworthy that the evaluated aspects contained in each category were defined based on the learning objective to be achieved in relation to knowledge expected from students and also in adequacy to the clinical case data adequacy exposed to students and estimated time for execution of the scenario.

  • Stage 5 – Assessment: assessment by judges of all documents produced along the previous stages from the observation of the simulation of the elaborated scenario and completion of specific instruments elaborated by the researchers. In this stage we sought to reproduce the scenario as a teaching activity, with students inserted in the scenario and a professor conducting the activity. At the end, debriefing was also carried out so that the judges could assess the applicability of the proposed checklist for debriefing. At the end of this stage, there was a round of conversation with judges so that each one could expose points of improvement for the final version of the scenario and checklist.

The study was carried out between April and December 2019. Data collection took place at the Care Skills and Simulation Laboratory (LHSC - Laboratório de Habilidades e Simulação do Cuidado ) of a public university in Brasília, FD, Brazil.

Seven volunteers were needed, three nursing students representing the actors (one representing the simulated patient and two representing the students inserted in the scenario) and four professionals specialized in the area of women’s health acting as judges. The number of students was defined from the script and the number of judges followed the recommendation in the literature, which provides for a minimum of three individuals.( 1212. Alexandre NM, Coluci MZ. Validade de conteúdo nos processos de construção e adaptação de instrumentos de medidas. Cienc Saude Colet. 2011;16:3061-68. )

Recruitment took place electronically (E-mail and WhatsApp®) and through direct contact. The inclusion criterion for nursing students was passing the Comprehensive Care for Women’s and Children’s Health, a mandatory course. For students, there were no exclusion criteria.

It should be noted that the actors had access to the scenario script before carrying out the validation in a one-to-one meeting with the researchers. Students inserted in the scenario did not have access to any information previously, they only received a list of contents that should be studied for proper performance in the scenario. The actions planned for the characters during the scenario were defined based on the expected actions of inserted students and learning objectives.

The criteria for inclusion of professionals as judges was based on the Scoring System for Selection of Judges, adapted from another study, by obtaining a minimum of four points.( 1313. Góes FS, Dalri MC, Fonseca LM, Canini SR, Scochi CG. Desenvolvimento de casos clínicos para o ensino do raciocínio diagnóstico. Rev Eletr Enferm. 2014;16(1):44-51. )One point was assigned for each graduate degree obtained, two points for professional experience in maternal and child care, two points for professional experience in nursing education in the maternal and child area, two points for experience with research development or guidance in the maternal-infant area or simulation, two points when there were publications in the maternal-infant area and two points when there were publications on simulation. To calculate the score, data from the resumes of Plataforma Lattes was considered. It was considered as an exclusion criterion professionals occupying positions that did not allow their clinical performance for two years or more, because it was understood that recent scientific updates might not be known to professionals, impairing their assessment of the simulated scenario in the validation process. Judges were selected from Plataforma Lattes , refining the search for researchers living in the Federal District, as it is a one-to-one validation and an unfunded study. Researchers who had publications on simulation and/or validation of scenarios were sought.

The variables studied related to judges’ profile included age, data related to education (course of origin, graduate degrees obtained) and professional performance (types of activities carried out in the career, time of professional experience and with simulation, and also publications in women’s health and simulation).

The variables studied related to scenario validation included analysis regarding the plausibility of clinical case, realism, adherence to scientific evidence, adequacy of the complexity of the scenario to students’ level of knowledge, information provided to students before and during simulation, defined learning objectives, promotion of critical thinking and ability to prioritize nursing actions, materials and equipment available in the scenario, aspects evaluated and synthesis and feedback in debriefing.

Data were obtained by completing data collection instruments developed by the researchers. Data analysis took place in a spreadsheet of Microsoft Excel®, version 2016. For the elaboration of judges’ profile, data were expressed in absolute and relative frequencies. Symmetrical variables were expressed as mean and standard deviation and asymmetrical variables as median and interquartile range. To verify the scenario validation, Content Validity Index (CVI) was calculated, which describes the percentage of agreement between experts regarding content adequacy and relevance. To calculate the CVI of each item assessed, the number of responses called “Adequate with minor adjustments and Totally Adequate” was divided into a Likert-type scale containing four alternatives (Totally inappropriate; Inappropriate, but can be redone; Appropriate with minor adjustments; and Totally appropriate) by the total number of responses to the item. At the end, the mean CVI was calculated, which consisted of a mean of CVIs of assessed items.( 1212. Alexandre NM, Coluci MZ. Validade de conteúdo nos processos de construção e adaptação de instrumentos de medidas. Cienc Saude Colet. 2011;16:3061-68. )A mean CVI ≥ 0.90 was established as an acceptable minimum.( 99. Usero-Pérez C, Jiménez-Rodríguez ML, González-Aguña A, González-Alonso V, Orbañanos-Peiro L, Santamaría-García JM, et al. Validation of an evaluation instrument for responders in tactical casualty care simulations. Rev Lat Am Enferm. 2020;28:e3251. )

The study was submitted and approved by the Institutional Review Board, under CAAE ( Certificado de Apresentação para Apreciação Ética - Certificate of Presentation for Ethical Consideration) 03107418.5.0000.8093. All volunteers who participated in this research signed the Informed Consent Form and the Image and Sound Use Authorization Term.

Results

The scenario and checklist validation for debriefing included the participation of four judges who assessed and proposed suggestions for content adequacy and scenario improvement. Of the four judges, two scored seven points on the Judges Scoring System, while the other two scored nine and 16. Table 1 presents the profile of the study judges. It is noticed that they are still young professionals, but working in different scenarios in maternal and child nursing and in clinical simulation. It is noted that in professional performance and experience with simulation, some judges scored more than one answer.

Table 1
Characterization of the study judges

The scenario elaborated has as learning objectives to work on students’ knowledge about reproductive planning and its specificities; its relationship with risk factors and contraindications for the use of contraceptives according to the profile of the woman assisted; systematization of nursing care for the proper conduct of the consultation, in addition to students’ ability to properly welcome and advise patients according to their demands.

The scenario is developed from a nursing consultation in a Basic Health Unit (BHU). In it, a woman who has not used contraception since the birth of her seven-month-old child seeks the nurse after her menstruation returns to request a new contraceptive prescription. She requests to go back to using the same contraceptive that she was using before pregnancy, which is a combined oral hormonal contraceptive, but it has several risk factors for cardiovascular problems and other possible thromboembolic events, which are: age > 35 years; smoker; hypertensive; Body Mass Index (BMI): 29kg/m2; migraine history; and family history of Stroke, Hypertension, Diabetes Mellitus and thrombosis. Also, the patient is still breastfeeding her baby.

In order for the simulated environment to be close to reality, a nursing office at a BHU was built using a table, four chairs, a stretcher, a ladder, and a trash, in addition to materials such as stethoscope, sphygmomanometer, pen, desk calendar, prescription pad, blank sheets, illustrative/educational material on sexual and reproductive health, which is usually found in BHU offices. The estimated time for the execution of the scenario is up to 20 minutes, with the collaboration of a simulated patient to interpret the postpartum woman; and two students inserted in the scenario to carry out consultation.

A checklist was also validated to assist and organize professor assessment during scenario development. The instrument contains three central axes (Professional attitude; Research; and Conducts) with the topics to be evaluated. Based on this assessment, a professor conducts debriefing after simulation. Chart 1 synthesizes the scenario script and checklist for validated debriefing.

Judges’ responses, through CVI, allowed the evaluation of relevant aspects about the proposed scenario and evaluation instrument. Table 2 summarizes judges’ evaluation.

Chart 1

Table 2
Scenario and clinical case validation through Content Validity Index

After presenting the simulation to the judges, each one had up to 10 minutes to comment on the scenario and instrument for debriefing. At this time, the judges suggested adding support materials in the office to didactically help nurses’ explanations (students inserted in the scenario) during the consultation. Thus, the list of materials for the scenario now contains items such as female and male condoms, packs of contraceptive pills, emergency contraceptives, injectable contraceptives, diaphragm, intrauterine device (IUD) and illustrative table of contraceptive methods fixed in the simulated office. However, anatomical models of the female pelvis containing the uterus and other organs, vulva and rubber penis, which the judges had initially suggested, at the end of the discussion it was agreed not to include them in order not to compromise the realism, since in practice the BHU do not contain such materials available in offices (with rare exceptions).

In the instrument for debriefing, despite having considered it as Totally adequate, the judges proposed, in the investigation axis, to change the item “They investigated about the patient’s clinical conditions” by “They investigated about personal history”, as it encompasses more information than just the patient’s clinical data. They also suggested adding the item “They investigated about the gynecological-obstetric history”, as it is important to know about the patient’s sexual/reproductive behavior so that she can develop necessary and individualized actions in reproductive planning. All suggestions were accepted.

In the “Conduct” axis, the item “They provided different options for non-hormonal methods to the patient” was replaced by “They provided different options for hormonal and non-hormonal methods for the patient”, as it is the patient’s right to receive clear and complete information on all contraceptive methods made available by the Ministry of Health, in order to ensure a free and informed choice by the patient. The items “They provided clear full explanations of all contraceptive methods” and “After the patient’s decision, they focused the information on the specificities of the chosen method” were added. The item “They made themselves available to talk to their partner and clarify their doubts” was also added, since the responsibility to plan/prevent a pregnancy is not only the woman’s, but the couple’s as well as the partner’s right to be aware and informed about the contraceptive methods available.

Discussion

A successful clinical simulation includes that learning objectives are achieved and students develop the expected clinical reasoning and skills, promoting better performance in their future professional performance.( 1010. Andrade PO, Oliveira SC, Morais SC, Guedes TG, Melo GP, Linhares FM. Validation of a clinical simulation setting in the management of post partum haemorrhage. Rev Bras Enferm. 2019;72(3):624-31. )For this end, it is necessary to develop well-designed scenarios following a rigorous methodology with well-structured stages.

To construct the scenario in this study, complex stages were followed based on the learning objectives proposed for the scenario. Similar stages of building scenarios and clinical cases have been identified in other research; however, no study was found on the development of scenarios for nurses’ role in reproductive planning, which gives this study an unprecedented character. Studies on scenario validation for nursing education with similar themes validated scenarios on the management of postpartum hemorrhage, obtaining a CVI > 0.90; clinical cases for nursing care to the adolescent public, with a CVI of 0.81; scenario about humanized delivery and birth, with CVI of 0.899 and Cronbach’s Alpha of 0.908.( 77. Ponce de Leon CG, Silva AK, Ribeiro LM, Brasil GC, Guarda LE, et al. Development and validation of clinical cases to be used in maternal-child nursing education. Rev Enferm Referência. 2018;4(18):51-62. , 1010. Andrade PO, Oliveira SC, Morais SC, Guedes TG, Melo GP, Linhares FM. Validation of a clinical simulation setting in the management of post partum haemorrhage. Rev Bras Enferm. 2019;72(3):624-31. , 1414. Corrêa DA, Felisbino-Mendes MS, Mendes MS, Malta DC, Velasquez-Melendez G. Factors associated with the contraindicated use of oral contraceptives in Brazil. Rev Saude Publica. 2017;51:1. , 1515. Fonseca LM, Monteiro JC, Aredes ND, Bueno JB, Domingues AN, Coutinho VR, et al. Interdisciplinary simulation scenario in nursing education: humanized childbirth and birth. Rev Lat Am Enfermagem. 2020;28:e3286. )The statistical data of the studies mentioned above are in accordance with the CVI found in the present study, which obtained 0.98.

When choosing judges, it is recommended to consider their education, titles, performance, specialization in the area, publications and research on the subject, among other criteria.( 1212. Alexandre NM, Coluci MZ. Validade de conteúdo nos processos de construção e adaptação de instrumentos de medidas. Cienc Saude Colet. 2011;16:3061-68. , 1313. Góes FS, Dalri MC, Fonseca LM, Canini SR, Scochi CG. Desenvolvimento de casos clínicos para o ensino do raciocínio diagnóstico. Rev Eletr Enferm. 2014;16(1):44-51. )It is noteworthy that all judges in this study work in teaching, which can provide a great contribution to theoretical-scientific updates in nursing as well as the view of a professor on the feasibility of using the scenario as a teaching tool.

Simulation is a tool that provides a new way of learning, since students are at the center of the process, actively participating, and the professor is a facilitator. Students point out that some situations experienced in clinical simulation actually occurred in a practical field, giving them greater confidence and resourcefulness for nursing care. Moreover, the simulated scenarios help to control emotions in real situations faced in the profession, in addition to providing opportunities for practice in unusual situations in practical activities with real patients, providing better preparation of nursing human resources and improving the care provided to the population.( 1616. Teles MG, Mendes-Castillo AM, Oliveira-Kamakura AR, Silva JL. Clinical simulation in teaching paediatric nursing: students’ perceptin. Rev Bras Enferm. 2020;73(2):e20180720. , 1717. Rosa ME, Pereira-Ávila FM, Góes FG, Pereira-Caldeira NM, Sousa LR, Goulart MC. Positive and negative aspects of clinical simulation in nursing teaching. Esc Anna Nery. 2020;24(3):e20190353. )

Student-centered teaching is reinforced in the debriefing stage, which is defined as essential for student learning. At that time, students express their feelings and emotions in a welcoming dialogue with their professor, and the professor leads a reflection on their performance, being able to debate about what was experienced within the scenario, which actions were correct and which could be improved. Students receive immediate feedback, aiming to improve their future performance in their professional practice.( 1818. Janicas RC, Narchi NZ. Evaluation of nursing students’ learning using realistic scenarios with and without debriefing. Rev Lat Am Enfermagem. 2019;27:e3187. )Given the importance of debriefing, an instrument to guide professor assessment during student observation and conducting the debriefing discussion was also validated.

Clinical simulation at graduation and in professional training can improve the quality of care by providing technical and non-technical improvement in a controlled environment. The need for trained professionals to work in sexual and reproductive health is poignant, especially in Brazil, a country with social inequalities that impact on difficulties for effective reproductive planning actions.( 1919. Fundo de População das Nações Unidas (UNFPA). Situação da População Mundial 2019. Um Trabalho Inacabado. Brasília (DF): UNFPA; 2019. 179 p. [citado 2021 Jul 26].

)

Teaching with clinical simulation complies with the Brazilian National Curriculum Guidelines for undergraduate nursing, which proposes an association between theoretical and practical content, as well as updating of teaching methods.( 2020. Brasil. Conselho Nacional de Educação. Câmara de Educação Superior. Resolução CNE/CES no 3 de 7 de novembro de 2001. Institui Diretrizes Curriculares Nacionais do Curso de Graduação em Enfermagem.

- 2222. Gomes SR. Inovação no ensino superior do curso de enfermagem da faculdade redentor: relato de experiência. Rev Inter Pensamento Científico. 2016;2(2):71-87. )Although curricula are still very traditional in Brazil, there has been a movement of change in recent decades with the expansion of active teaching methodologies, including simulation.

As limitations, the absence of previous publications on studies of validation of scenarios in reproductive planning stands out, which could have contributed to a scientific basis and enriched the discussion and the absence of judges active in reproductive planning at the BHU; however, as professors work on a smaller scale in practical activities with students at the BHU, it is considered that there was no harm to their assessment.

Conclusion

It was concluded that the developed scenario was validated, obtaining a satisfactory CVI value, representing agreement among judges as to its suitability as a nursing teaching tool. The item that obtained a CVI below that established was revised and the suggestions proposed by the judges were considered. The scenario is validated to be used as a teaching-learning resource for nursing undergraduates regarding reproductive planning. It is considered that the use of this teaching tool contributes to the preparation of future nurses, promoting more autonomy, security and confidence in their role in reproductive planning care. It is hoped that this scenario will be reproduced by other educational institutions as an instrument to facilitate learning and that it can stimulate further research in reproductive planning and clinical simulation in nursing. Despite being relevant in Brazil, the reproductive planning theme has not yet been explored in validation studies of simulated scenarios. Given the autonomy of nurses at the BHU, it is important that undergraduate courses prepare their undergraduates so that they have competent nursing human resources in the labor market.
