Abstract
Objective: To translate and adapt into Portuguese the Global Consensus Statement on Simulation-Based Practice in Healthcare, an instrument created with the aim of promoting best practice standards in the use of simulation as a universal learning tool. Methods: The drafting of the declaration involved an interactive consultation process with 50 scientific and professional societies from 67 countries, spread over 6 continents. The translation process was carried out by experts in the field of healthcare simulation and proficiency in Portuguese, both Brazilian and Portuguese. The adaptation involved semantic, idiomatic, cultural and conceptual analysis, with the participation of one of the authors of the original article, guaranteeing the fidelity and applicability of the content to the Portuguese-speaking reality. Results: This process made it possible to identify challenges that cut across health systems, as well as barriers to the implementation of simulation at a global level. Ethical considerations in the implementation of simulated practice are presented. The main outcome is a set of practical recommendations and a call to action. Conclusion: This declaration, and this translation, is the result of an international collaborative effort aimed at establishing a consensus on the main priorities for the widespread adoption of simulation practices that benefit patients and healthcare professionals globally.
