NEUTROSOPHIC TOPSIS AND DISTANCE OF HAUSDORFF COMBINED TO MEASURE THE QUALITY OF CLINICAL SIMULATION IN THE NURSING EDUCATION

Abstract

Clinical simulation is vital in nursing education, providing realistic, hands-on experiences that prepare students for
current challenges in healthcare settings. However, measuring the quality of its use requires the use of tools to deal with
vague or inconsistent information associated with the subjective elements involved. The objective of this research was
to evaluate the quality of the use of clinical simulation in nursing education by applying a set of qualitative indicators
of a linguistic nature, expressed as single-valued neutrosophic sets. The combined use of the TOPSIS neutrosophic
method with the calculation of the Hausdorff distance, allowed to evaluate a survey applied to professors of the
UNIANDES university Nursing career. It was found that the best results were obtained with the realization of 3 or more
clinical simulation sessions, mainly in the implementation and feedback offered by the students.
