“…In addition to language training, there may also be a need for NP, and all healthcare providers, to learn to work effectively with interpreters. A recent study by Phillips, Lie, Encinas, Ahearn, and Tiso () assessed the impact of current NP training curricula the University of California, Irvine on the ability of students to communicate in interpreted encounters. The authors assessed students incoming to the program ( n = 26) as well as students graduating ( n = 31) using three standardized rating scales.…”

Purpose The number of persons in the United States who have a primary language other than English has been steadily increasing for decades. The latest census information reveals that citizens with limited English proficiency (LEP) represent approximately 16% of the population. The inability to effectively communicate creates stark challenges in the delivery and receipt of health care. Language discordance in the healthcare setting has been firmly established as a source for health disparities among LEP patients and families. Poorer health outcomes are seen across the healthcare setting for LEP patients and children of LEP parents. Data sources Scientific literature review, scholarly databases, Internet sites. Conclusions There are various systems and methods that can be implemented in order to help improve health outcomes for LEP patients. There are benefits and challenges to each of the methods available for LEP patients and their providers. Improvements must be made on numerous levels including in clinical settings, in training curricula, and system wide. Implications for practice The risks associated with decreased quality of communication between patient and provider merit an earnest consideration of the methods available for LEP patients and implementing some of these services for those patients.

“…Another study involving nurse practitioner students found no improvement in students' use of interpretation skills over a two-year period, indicating the need for improvements in training. It was thought that "bad habits" picked up in clinical practice while learning from other clinicians may have contributed to the results (Phillips et al, 2011).…”

Providing culturally responsive communication to clients with limited English proficiency (LEP) is important to achieve equitable care. Ensuring nurses are trained in effective communication using interpreters or interpretation devices can begin before licensure. Virtual remote interpretation (VRI) is commonly used in the absence of in-person interpretation for clients with LEP. The purpose of this simulation activity was to evaluate student performance and perceptions related to culturally responsive communication when using VRI in a prenatal care simulation of clients with LEP.

“…Researchers examining the use of simulation in APN education found increases in student satisfaction, confidence, and knowledge ( Nye, 2021;Pittman, 2012;Rutherford-Hemming, Nye, & Coram, 2016;Warren, Luctkar-Flude, Godfrey, & Lukewich, 2016 ). In addition, simulation enhanced communication skills ( Bays et al, 2014 ;Curtis et al, 2013 ;Koo et al, 2014 ;Phillips, Lie, Encinas, Ahearn, & Tiso, 2011 ;Yuasa et al, 2013 ), and clinical performance ( Bays et al, 2014 ;Curtis et al, 2013;Fleming et al, 2009;Gasko et al, 2012;Paige et al, 2014 ;Rutherford-Hemming, 2012 ).…”

Simulation as a Disruptive Innovation in Advanced Practice Nursing Programs: A Report from a Qualitative Examination

Clinical Simulation in Nursing

Simulation as a pedagogy is used extensively to educate healthcare professionals in both academic and clinical arenas with the intent to improve the delivery of care and patient outcomes. Advanced practice nursing (APN) programs use simulation as a pedagogy even though APN accreditation and certification organizations prohibit substituting simulation hours for the minimum 500 clinical hours. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore faculty perceptions of educating APN students using simulation. Focus groups were conducted with a convenience sample of APN simulation faculty. Disruptive innovation theory was used by the researchers to guide the data analysis. Themes emerging during analysis included: 1) extrinsic tension and pressure in the midst of chaos, 2) internal vulnerability, and 3) passion and tenacity to remain resilient. The study results provide clarity to understand integration of APN simulation in the current environment, and introduce the impact of simulation as a disruptive innovation.
