Background: The audience response systems are being implemented to support active learning in nursing degree programs. The benefits of audience response systems have been studied in lecture-based classes and seminars, but their advantages or inconveniences when included in the debriefing phase of a high-fidelity clinical simulation have not been explored. The study aim was to discover student´s experience about using of interactive questions during debriefing, and the self-perceived effects on attention, participation and motivation. Methods: A Mixed-methods study was used exploratory sequential design in a university. The participants were 4th-year students enrolled in the Nursing Degree in a university in Southern Spain. (1) Qualitative phase: a phenomenological approach was utilized, and focus groups were used for data-collection. (2) Quantitative phase: cross-sectional descriptive study using a questionnaire designed "ad hoc", on the experiences on the use of interactive questions in the debriefing phase and the Debriefing Experience Scale. Results: (1) Qualitative phase: the students highlighted the facilitating role of the interactive questions during the reflection part of the debriefing, and mentioned that the interactive questions helped with stimulating attention, participation, and motivation during the analytical part of the debriefing; (2) Quantitative phase: it was observed that the best evaluated dimension was "Motivation", with a mean of 4.7 (SD = 0.480), followed by the dimension "Participation", with a mean of 4.66 (SD = 0.461), and lastly, the dimension "Attention", with a mean of 4.64 (SD = 0.418). Conclusions: The use of interactive questions contributed the attention, participation, and motivation of the students during the debriefing, contributing towards a highly satisfactory experience of high-fidelity clinical simulation.

The current situation in the West reflects a gradual change of the father in the upbringing of their offspring, as reflected in its theory Madeleine Leininger, one must know the characteristics of this phenomenon to implement culturally congruent care. Based on the concept of Mercer "roles are not fixed, so no matter which person is responsible for performing the different roles" (Marriner, 2007) can mimic the maternalpaternal- filial subsidiary. We propose a qualitative research based on in-depth interview in order to study: parents (men) novice, and discussion groups professional midwives as the most representative figure and is directly involved with women's reproductive health and care the newborn. Thus we can say that the typical family idea is accepted as is in crisis around the nineties, there emerges the figure of the new parents, a concept introduced by Bonino (2003). We met a father whose presence in the care of children is of great importance in the proper development of these (Alberdi & Escario, 2007). Therefore we must work on the model to define the New Parent involvement in raising it. The midwife is the professional most qualified to serve as agents of change. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
