Introduction.

Clinical simulation has emerged as a learning and evaluation method that generates the acquisition of skills and abilities in the field of health sciences. Learning under clinical simulation scenarios is associated with higher levels of satisfaction, confidence, ability to provide information, and content achievement by being able to practice the skills without harming the patient, which is a clear response to the current need to protect the safety of the patient and ensure continuous and efficient training. This study seeks to analyze the relationship between satisfaction and the acquisition of competencies in Obstetrics students at the Andrés Bello University, through high-fidelity clinical simulation scenarios.

Subjects and methods.

Forty-two Obstetrics students from the Andrés Bello University faced six high-fidelity simulation scenarios that evaluated the acquisition of technical skills for childbirth assistance through an evaluation rubric and a satisfaction survey for high fidelity simulation scenarios.

Results.

The evaluation of the skills had an average compliance for the first scenario of 59.78%, for the second 70.29%, for the third 71.42%, the fourth 81.32%, the fifth 87 71% and the sixth 96.86%. Regarding the satisfaction in the high-fidelity clinical simulation scenarios, the students agree that simulation is a useful method for learning (100%), that it is a tool that improves technical skills (97.6%), that has felt security and confidence (100%) and that the high-fidelity scenarios were satisfactory (100%). High fidelity simulation scenarios prove to be a satisfactory tool for skill acquisition.

Conclusion.

Obstetrics students improved their clinical competencies, which involve communication skills and clinical reasoning, and also, perceived high levels of satisfaction after 6 high-fidelity scenarios.
