| Expected outcome1: We expect to find an increase in the score of the applied knowledge test for both groups, intervention (clinical simulation training) and control (lecture training), to be verified by Student's t-test, based on the finding of a variation of at least 5% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements.;Outcome found: When analyzing the mean scores of the intra-group knowledge test, a 40% increase was observed in the mean score of correct answers in the pre- and post-test control group, µ =5.6 (sd ± 1.40) Md 6.0 - µ =7.86 (sd ±1.45) Md 8.0 respectively. The intervention group showed a 29.63% increase between pre- and post-test, µ = 5.4 (sd ±1.59) Md 5.0 - µ =7.0 (sd ±1.06) Md 7.0, respectively. After the Shapiro Wilk normality test, the data was found not to be normal. The analysis was therefore based on the group median and the Wilkoxon non-parametric test was used. The test showed that both the volunteers in the control group (Z = -3.205; P = 0.001) and the intervention group (Z = -3.225; P = 0.001) increased their level of knowledge after applying the education methods used on the subject of training. | — |

| Outcome: We expect to see a greater increase in the level of knowledge of the subject matter of the volunteers trained using the simulation strategy (intervention group) compared to those trained using lectures (control group). The tests will be applied once there is a variation of at least 5% in the pre- and post-intervention measurements.;Outcome found 1: The Mann-Whitney U test was used to compare the groups, as they were independent non-parametric samples. There was no significance in the pre-test comparison between the control (µ=5.60 sd ± 1.40; Md = 6.0) and intervention (µ =5.40 sd ± 1.59; Md = 5.0) groups, Z = -468; P = 0.640. However, the comparative analysis of the post-test scores between the groups showed significant differences. Control group µ =7.86 (sd ±1.45) Md =8.0 and intervention group µ =7.0 (sd ±1.06) Md =7.0 (Z = -2.142; p=0.032). The test thus showed that the volunteers trained using the lecture strategy had a higher level of knowledge about the training topic. | — |
