Abstract
Objective: To develop and validate clinical simulation scenario for teaching women in their puerperium and their families about care for the newborn's umbilical cord stump. Method: Methodological study in two stages: 1 - elaboration of the checklist of the procedure for cleaning the umbilical cord and of the clinical case; and 2 - development of the simulated scenario. A Content Validity Index of 0.8 was adopted as the valid range of agreement. Results: After validation, the case was validated, being approved by 100% of the experts. All items of the simulation scenario obtained agreement scores above 0.91. Conclusion: The validated scenario can be used in different contexts: teaching of Neonate Nursing, training teams, and teaching women in their puerperium and their families, who were the target of the study. Considering the benefits of simulation, we believe the simulation here will contribute to better and safer care.
