| Expected outcome: Students who attend the lecture and then participate in the realistic simulation activity will have higher cognitive performance when evaluated in relation to palliative care. The study data will be tabulated through the Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) version 19 and the descriptive statistics will be used to present the results. Inferential statistics will be performed in which the intervention and control groups will be compared in the baseline: - demographic characteristics: age, gender, ethnicity to the scores present in each statement of cognitive evaluation (pretest) in order to see if there are differences of cognitive ability between the groups. For this, chi-square tests (categorical variables) and t-tests for independent measurements (continuous variables) will be applied. Subsequently, the groups (control and intervention) will be compared to each other regarding the score in the post-test (cognitive assessment). It will be adopted p <0.05 as significant and the effect sizes will be checked for each test. ;Outcome achieved: Descriptive statistics with the characteristics of the population in relation to gender, ethnicity and course periods are presented in table 1: Table 1: Demographic characterization of groups with simulation and without simulation Simulation Sex Yes (%) No (%) Male 2 (18.2) 4 (33.3) Female 9 (81.8) 8 (66.7) Ethnicity White 6 (54.5) 6 (50.0) Black 1 (9.1) 5 (41.7) Parda 4 (36.4) 1 (8.3) Periods 4 2 (18.2) 3 (25.0) 5 (27.3) 4 (33.3) 6 (27.3) 3 (25.0) 7 (3) (27.3) 2 (16.7) The participants' ages ranged from 19 to 44 years, with a mean of 26.2 ± 6.7 years with confidence interval (CI) = [23.3; 29,1]. There was no statistical difference (p = 0.270) in these values ??and between the periods that participated or not in the simulation (0.919). The data related to the mean precision in the pre-test with post-test presented statistical significance (p = 0.029). The comparison between the means of correction with | — |
