Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To develop and validate a telesimulation scenario for nursing students in the care of late preterm infants with hypoglycemia. METHODS: A methodological study conducted between August 2021 and May 2022 in a virtual environment involved constructing and validating the scenario with 10 experts, and testing it with 10 students. The content validity index assessed validity, with a threshold of 80% or higher, and suggestions were analyzed using semantic approximation. RESULTS: Validation confirmed the appropriateness of all 14 scenario items, with an overall index of 97.8% and clarity and relevance indices of 98.5%. During testing, the overall index was 99.7%, with the "resources" item receiving the lowest score. Adjustments were made to objectives, technical terms, resources, and target audience based on feedback. CONCLUSION: Telesimulation is a widely accepted educational technology for training nursing students, with potential to enhance teaching quality and neonatal care.
