ABSTRACT
Background:
Clinical simulation with standardized patients facilitates nursing students' first approach to care in a safe and realistic environment. This type of experience arouses intense emotions and favors the development of key competencies.
Objective:
This study explores the perceptions of health sciences students during their first contact with care through simulation experiences with standardized patients.
Methods:
Qualitative descriptive phenomenological study through focus groups and reflective narratives in a sample of 59 students. A thematic analysis was performed using ATLAS-ti.24.
Results:
Three thematic blocks with their categories and subcategories were identified: (T1) First contact with simulation (T2) Learning and competencies (T3) Preparation for clinical practice.
Conclusions:
Clinical simulation has a profound impact on nursing education by offering a safe and realistic environment in which to learn from experience. Emotions, teamwork and human interaction enrich learning and strengthen professional identity. This approach favors the integration of technical knowledge and relational skills. The results support the inclusion of active and humanized methodologies in training plans.
