Purpose: This study aims to assess the reliability and validity of a Korean version of the satisfactionwith simulation experience (SSE) scale for low-, medium-, and high-fidelity simulations amongparamedic students. Methods: Exploratory factor analysis with varimax rotation was used to determine construct validity. Cronbach's alpha was calculated to assess internal consistency reliability. Results: Cronbach's alpha for the overall scale was .841. Exploratory factor analysis yielded athree-factor structure composed of clinical learning, clinical reasoning and debriefing and reflection. Each of the subscales had high internal consistency, with Cronbach's alphas of .852, .790 and .913,respectively. With respect to year, freshmen scored the highest on the SSE scale. With respect to typeof simulation, the medium-fidelity group reported the highest satisfaction. Generally, the studentswere satisfied with debriefing and reflection. Conclusion: The Korean version of the SSE scale was shown to be a reliable and valid instrument forassessing satisfaction with simulation learning in paramedic students.
