A síndrome de Münchausen Objectives: To analyze the effects of realistic simulation for the knowledge about cardiopulmonary resuscitation of the Nursing team in a teaching hospital. Methodology: A quasi-experimental study, of the before-and-after type, with an educational intervention, and conducted with 324 Nursing professionals from a Teaching Hospital in Southeast Brazil. Collection took place between 2017 and 2018, by using a structured instrument. Results: The participants were 108 Nurses, 211 Nursing Technicians, and 13 Nursing Assistants, 81.2% being female and aged 21 ├ 67 years old. It was observed that there was a significant difference between the means of the scores obtained before and after the educational action, showing that there was a gain in knowledge after the training with the use of active methodology through simulation. Pearson's Chi-square association test presented a significant association between the post-test scores and the professional category. Conclusion: It was concluded that the effects of realistic simulation for the knowledge about cardiopulmonary resuscitation are positive, effective and innovating, offering better learning opportunities.
