Clinical simulation strategies for knowledge integration relating to initial critical recognition and management of COVID-19 for use within continuing education and health-related academia in Brazil: a descriptive study
Abstract:The current global pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has forced medical trainees throughout the world to suspend their clinical training and transition largely to online lectures. Through removing trainees from clinical settings, medical program managers hope to reduce the risk of person-to-person spread of infection. 1 Clinical simulation has the objective of replicating scenarios that are as close as possible to reality, in order to train healthcare professionals in diverse clinical situations that … Show more
“…The study characteristics are presented in the Table 1. Most of the studies on simulation-based training were developed in response to SARS-CoV-2 (n = 117, 79.1%) 6–8,16–128 . Eighteen were motivated by Ebola outbreaks (12.2%), 129–146 7 by influenza (4.7%), 147–153 3 by MERS (2%), 154–156 and 3 by pandemics in general (2%) 157–159 …”
Summary StatementThe objective of this research was to identify and review studies that have evaluated the impact of simulation-based training on health care professionals during epidemics.All studies in health care simulation-based training published during the last 5 epidemics with a global impact (SARS-CoV, H1N1, MERS, Ebola, SARS-CoV-2; through July 2021) were selected from a systematic search of PUBMED, EMBASE, and key journals.The search strategy identified 274 studies; 148 met the inclusion criteria and were included. Most of the studies were developed in response to SARS-CoV-2 infection (n = 117, 79.1%), used a descriptive approach (n = 54, 36.5%), and were used to train technical skills (n = 82, 55.4%).This review demonstrates a growing interest in publications related to health care simulation and epidemics. Most of the literature is marked by limited study designs and outcome measurements, although there is a trend toward the use of more refined methodologies in the most recent publications. Further research should seek the best evidence-based instructional strategies to design training programs in preparation for future outbreaks.

“…síncrona, via plataformas digitais, com o docente no laboratório e o estudante em sua casa. Neste ponto, torna-se a salientar a rapidez com que as tecnologias digitais foram adotadas e serviram de suporte para a continuidade da educação, possibilitando o ensino da área da saúde, como o relato do ensino da anamnese, assistido por tecnologias digitais (24) , e de um programa de treinamento baseado em simulação clínica para hospitais brasileiros ou instituições acadêmicas, no momento da pandemia (25) .…”
RESUMO Objetivo: Apresentar o panorama brasileiro da formação de enfermeiros durante a pandemia da COVID-19. Método: estudo transversal, realizado com 335 coordenadores de curso de graduação em Enfermagem e coleta de dados on-line, entre novembro de 2020 e março de 2021. Resultados: Houve representação de todos os estados brasileiros. Das Instituições de Ensino Superior, 52,5% adotaram o ensino remoto em até 10 dias após a determinação do distanciamento social e 23% depois de 100 dias; 73,4% mantiveram os estudantes em estágio curricular obrigatório. As aulas práticas tiveram redução no número de estudantes por grupo (46,0%). A maioria dos docentes e discentes foi contaminada pelo SARS-CoV-2 e apresentaram piora na saúde mental. Conclusões: O estudo identificou heterogeneidade na retomada das atividades, por meio do ensino remoto, que ocorreu majoritariamente de forma síncrona. Houve retomada de estágios curriculares e aulas práticas em serviços de saúde, com limitação do número de estudantes por campo.
“…It is interesting to see how the practical laboratory classes were reorganized, for which it was mentioned since their non-occurrence, replacement by theoretical classes, and the occurrence in a synchronous way, via digital platforms, with the teacher in the laboratory and the student at his home. At this point, it is highlighted how quickly digital technologies were adopted and served as a support for the continuity of education, enabling teaching in the health area, such as the report of teaching anamnesis, assisted by digital technologies ( 24 ) , and a training program based on clinical simulation for Brazilian hospitals or academic institutions, at the time of the pandemic ( 25 ) .…”
Objective: To present the Brazilian panorama of the training of nurses during the COVID-19 pandemic. Method: a cross-sectional study, carried out with 335 coordinators of undergraduate courses in Nursing and online data collection, between November 2020 and March 2021. Results: All Brazilian states were represented. Of Higher Education Institutions, 52.5% adopted remote learning within 10 days after determining social distancing and 23% after 100 days; 73.4% kept the students in a mandatory curricular internship. Practical classes had a reduction in the number of students per group (46.0%). Most faculty and students were contaminated by SARS-CoV-2 and showed worsening in mental health. Conclusions: The study identified heterogeneity in the resumption of activities, through remote teaching, which mostly occurred synchronously. There was a resumption of curricular internships and practical classes in health services, with a limitation on the number of students per field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
