title: High-Fidelity in Urgency-Emergency Simulation: validation of a tool to determine the satisfaction of participants.
abstract: In literature there are some tools to measure the satisfaction level related to high-fidelity simulation experience. This paper reports the construction and validation of a specific unique questionnaire in Italian (SESAF - Satisfaction of High-Fidelity Simulation Experience).
  
  
  
  After having reviewed various tools available in literature, and conducted some focus groups with high-fidelity simulation experts, the authors produced the SESAF tool. It was administered to 237 Physicians and nurses participated in high-fidelity simulation of emergency codes.
  
  
  
  The factorial solution included 7 factors explaining the 71.65% of the total variance. Cronbach Alpha, reported an excellent reliability (0.97).
  
  
  
  SESAF can make comparable the satisfaction levels of HFS trainees among various centers.
