Simulation-based training in Leprosy: development and validation of a scenario for community health workers.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

To build and validate a clinical simulation scenario designed to instruct community health workers (CHWs) in active leprosy case detection.

Methods

Methodological study involving the development of a simulated clinical scenario and content validation by experts. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was used to determine the level of agreement among the judging commitee, and a descriptive analysis of their recommendations was performed.

Results

A simulated scenario with a simulated participant was developed - a simulation characterized by low complexity, moderate physical/environmental fidelity, moderate to high psychological fidelity, and high conceptual fidelity, lasting 50 minutes and capable of training up to 10 CHWs simultaneously. The scenario was validate
