Clinical Simulation in pediatrics and neonatology using EDISON: an educational innovation project

Introduction: Clinical simulation is a tool that allows creating controlled and safe spaces that mimic reality, where students can acquire skills and abilities prior to facing real situations. Methodology: This is a study with two phases. The first quasi-experimental phase where 3 questionnaires were used; two of them to assess knowledge (pretest - posttest) and the other one to assess the satisfaction of the training action. And the second phase was analytical, where the effectiveness of a training intervention in a confinement context based on the use of audiovisual materials created through EDISON was evaluated. Results: In 2019 the average satisfaction of the students was 9.22 (SD 0.72) out of 10. The most valued item was the one related to the domain that the instructors had regarding the knowledge imparted, with 9.79 out of 10. The students' knowledge improved in 9 of the 11 questions. Conclusions: The satisfaction of the students and the knowledge acquired were remarkable, being clinical simulation a methodology that helps to consolidate the knowledge and skills put into practice.
