ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The development of an evidence-based clinical simulation scenario focused on nursing care during labor, delivery, and birth has the potential to significantly enhance the teaching-learning process. Additionally, it contributes to reducing cesarean rates in Brazil, improving the quality of maternal care, and promoting maternal health outcomes.

OBJECTIVES:
To describe the development and evaluation process of a clinical simulation scenario designed for nursing care during labor, delivery, and birth.

METHODS:
This methodological study involved the construction and assessment of a clinical simulation scenario. Data collection occurred from November 2024 to May 2025. The scenario was developed according to the guidelines of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation in Learning (INACSL), obstetric best practice manuals, and a validated checklist created by experts in obstetric nursing. Data were analyzed using SPSS v.27, applying the Concordance Index (CI), Cronbach’s alpha, and the Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC). There were no conflicts of interest, and the study received approval from the Research Ethics Committee (CAAE: 80320824.4.0000.5054; Approval No.: 7.086.927).

RESULTS:
A total of 32 experts participated. High agreement levels were observed: 20 of the 24 items reached 100% agreement, while the remaining items showed 96.9% agreement, exceeding the 80% threshold. The binomial test showed statistical significance (p < 0.05) for 83.3% of the items; the others, although p > 0.05, still demonstrated 96% agreement and were deemed valid. Instrument reliability was supported by Cronbach’s alpha (0.718) and ICC (0.714). The target audience (n = 25) evaluated the scenario positively: 22 of 24 items had 100% agreement, and the rest 96.9%; α = 0.847 and ICC = 0.844.

CONCLUSIONS:
The clinical simulation scenario proved valid for teaching nursing care during labor, delivery, and birth.

KEY MESSAGE:
This scenario promotes engagement, meaningful learning, self-confidence, and nurses' perceived clinical competence. Poster session 3 (Group B)
