First National Forum on Nursing Simulation in Morocco: Evaluation of Participants’ Satisfaction With the Master Class Training Quality

Abstract

Nursing simulation is an innovative pedagogical method that significantly enhances the clinical learning skills of healthcare professionals. In Morocco, a national training initiative was organized to raise awareness among educators and healthcare practitioners about the pedagogical importance of this method. This study aimed to assess satisfaction levels of participants in a Master Class training during Morocco’s inaugural National Forum on Nursing Simulation on the 3rd, 4th, and 5th of June 2022 held at the Higher Institute of Nursing Professions and Health Techniques (HINPHT) in Fez. A comprehensive survey assessed feedback on didactic materials, technical equipment, logistical aspects, and overall training quality. Results revealed significant participant satisfaction, with 89.11% satisfied with training quality, 76.35% with trainer competence, 85.3% with training tools, and 66.6% with duration and scheduling. Participants deemed the Master Class as a contribution to their professional development. Similarly, 82.2% believed trainers could effectively transfer knowledge during simulation‐based sessions. Findings confirmed the success of Morocco’s first national nursing simulation training to achieve its intended outcomes. Correlational analyses between variables revealed significant differences among participant categories. Directors of institutes expressed the highest satisfaction levels ( p < 0.05), particularly regarding content ( r = 0.95, p < 0.05), facilitation, and overall experience. In contrast, other participants emphasized training quality and tools. A strong positive correlation ( r = 0.86, p < 0.05) was observed between participant satisfaction and student category, except for trainer competence. Additionally, a significant positive correlation ( r = 0.91, p < 0.05) existed between participant satisfaction and teacher category, with the exception of duration and timing. These findings offer valuable insights into the future of Master Class training in nursing simulation in Morocco. By addressing key concerns, such as participant dissatisfaction with timing, we are planning to enhance the effectiveness and impact of these innovative pedagogical approaches.
