An orange will do: Suspending learner disbelief in simulations

Low-cost seizure simulation in low-technology mannequins for resource-constrained settings: An innovative approach to enhance fidelity

“…[ 5 ] To foster suspension of disbelief in simulation-based teaching, it is imperative to encompass three vital dimensions of creating realism: physical fidelity, conceptual fidelity and emotional fidelity. [ 6 7 ]…”

Use of High-Fidelity Simulation as an Adjunct to Basic Life Support Training To Promote Team-Based Resuscitation Skills: A Mixed-Methods Pilot Study

“…However, the opposite may be true for healthcare providers with clinical experience. The realism, or fidelity, of the simulation is important to aid in the learner's suspension of disbelief, which is their ability to look past any unrealistic aspects of the scenario and accept the simulation as reality [16]. This more realistic environment may better enable the learner to engage with the session rather than fixate on unconvincing aspects of the scenario.…”

Simulation in midwifery: the role of motivation in designing an undergraduate experience

“…Before immersing themselves in the simulation, students undergo a thorough prebriefing that empowers them to collaboratively plan how to deliver care in a teamorientated experience. As this is the students' starting point, there is a recognition that students need to be exposed to simulation so that they can learn how to immerse into it, so suspending their disbelief (Richardson et al, 2022). Also, to enable immersion, they need to have exposure to clinical practice where they observe midwives in action.…”
