The Satisfaction with Simulation Experience scale is a 5-point Likert scale that measures students' satisfaction in medium and high-fidelity simulation scenarios. This study aims at investigating the psychometric properties of the Satisfaction with Simulation Experience - Italian Version scale.
A multi-centre cross-sectional study was conducted. The scale was administered to a sample of 266 undergraduate nursing students from two Italian universities after attending a medium- and high-fidelity simulation session in November 2022 and March 2023. Cronbach's alpha coefficient and item-total correlation were sorted out to assess internal consistency and reliability. The test-retest method was used as a measure of scale stability over time as well as the confirmatory factor analysis to verify construct validity.
The Cronbach's alpha value was 0.94 for the overall scale, indicating excellent reliability, and it was 0.84 or higher for each subscales, indicating good reliability. A large correlation coefficient of 0.60 or higher was found between each item and its subscale and between each item and the overall scale score. A medium test-retest correlation coefficient was found for most items (r > 0.30). The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the factorial structure found in the original study.
Satisfaction is an important teaching and learning quality indicator along with the achievement of learning outcomes in simulation. The Satisfaction with Simulation Experience - Italian Version scale showed good reliability and validity; therefore, it could be a useful tool to assess simulation impact in Italian nursing students. The extensive utilization of the Satisfaction with Simulation Experience scale, along with its various validated versions, could facilitate assessing satisfaction in simulation across diverse contexts and enable comparisons of findings across studies in different countries.
模拟体验满意度量表是一个5点李克特量表，用于衡量学生在中高保真模拟场景中的满意度。本研究旨在调查模拟体验满意度量表意大利语版的心理测量特性。
进行了一项多中心横断面研究。2022年11月和2023年3月，在两所意大利大学的266名本科护理专业学生参加中高保真模拟课程后，对他们使用了该量表。整理出克朗巴哈系数和项目与总分的相关性，以评估内部一致性和可靠性。采用重测法来衡量量表随时间的稳定性，并通过验证性因素分析来验证结构效度。
总量表的克朗巴哈系数值为0.94，表明可靠性极佳，各子量表的克朗巴哈系数值为0.84或更高，表明可靠性良好。每个项目与其子量表之间以及每个项目与总量表得分之间的相关系数均大于或等于0.60。大多数项目的重测相关系数中等（r > 0.30）。验证性因素分析证实了原始研究中发现的因子结构。
满意度是模拟教学中与学习成果达成情况同样重要的教学质量指标。模拟体验满意度量表意大利语版显示出良好的信效度；因此，它可能是评估意大利护理专业学生模拟效果的有用工具。模拟体验满意度量表及其各种经过验证的版本的广泛应用，有助于评估不同背景下模拟的满意度，并能够比较不同国家研究的结果。
