ABSTRACT Objective: To identify and compare satisfaction and self-confidence in the learning of nursing students from the use of simulation and traditional teaching in adult immunization scenarios in the context of Primary Health Care Methods: A randomized controlled clinical trial. Thirty-four undergraduate nursing students from a Brazilian federal public university participated in the study. The students were allocated in two groups: dialogical exposition and training of skills (control) and dialogical exposition, training of skills and simulation (experimental). Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning scale was applied after receiving the interventions. In the analysis of satisfaction and self-confidence in learning, the Mann-Whitney test was used for a level of significance of 5%. Results: Traditional teaching strategies and simulation promote satisfaction and self-confidence in students’ learning. The experimental group presented higher mean values in most of the variables of both subscales. However, there was no statistical significance in the learning satisfaction subscale (p-value ≥ 0.05) and self-confidence in learning (p-value ≥ 0.05) between the experimental and control groups. Conclusion and implications for practice: Because they generate satisfaction and self-confidence, simulation and traditional strategies can be mutually used in nursing training.
