Abstract

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the best educational techniques used during high-fidelity simulations in training nursing students and to introduce the Polish version of the Educational Practices Questionnaire (EPQ) scale after its cultural adaptation and determination of its psychometric properties. The research group was composed of 361 second- and third-year nursing students in the licentiate program. The Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients for the adapted tool were 0.90 for the EPQ-PO (presence of educational techniques) subscale and 0.93 for the EPQ-IO subscale (importance of educational techniques). Additionally, the model fit rates in the CFA and EFA (as indicators of theoretical validity) proved to be high enough for the tool to be successfully used in scientific research. Preliminary results are also presented; the mean value of the response for the entire EPQ scale for both the PO and IO sections was M = 4.3, SD ± 0.90. The students in the study rated the opportunity for collaboration with other students and for working jointly on a given clinical situation very highly at M = 4.5, SD ± 0.70. The analysis of the scores of the individual scales and subscales of the EPQ showed statistically significant differences in results obtained for such variables as gender, place of residence, and year of studies.
