Description
Summary:ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate educational practices, satisfaction, confidence, and debriefing experience in the perception of students and health professionals after a postvention telesimulation. Methods: Cross-sectional study conducted in 2021 with 60 participants, including health professionals (n=44) and students (n=15). Four instruments were used: the characterization questionnaire, the Educational Practices Questionnaire, the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning and the Debriefing Experience Scale. Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results: The majority of participants were female (90.0%). Of the total, 50.8% had previous exposure to postvention and 71.2% had no exposure to simulation-based teaching. In terms of educational practices, the highest means for agreement (9.39±1.00) and importance (9.60±0.82) were found in the high expectations factor. Participants reported feeling satisfied and confident in their learning, with an emphasis on the satisfaction dimension (mean score: 24.23±1.81). Regarding debriefing, the highest means were observed in the appropriate guidance factor (mean score: 14.05±2.02). Associations were identified in active learning, learning and making connections, satisfaction, and self-confidence, particularly concerning the virtual experience, prior contact with postvention, and facilitator guidance. Conclusion: Participants positively evaluated the educational practices, satisfaction, self-confidence, and debriefing in the telesimulation, suggesting that this could be a viable alternative for simulation-based education on suicide postvention.
