“…Faculty were also concerned that the sense of social support and emotional safety, normally derived from physically present peers and faculty, would be imperceptible to roleplaying students in the online setting. Despite studies supporting efficacy of simulations in online settings (Harris et al, 2020) and positive results on student engagement (Rogers et al, 2020;Cantrell, 2017), faculty remained cognizant of the fact that few simulations focused on assessing mental health and even fewer on assessing mental health in a telehealth capacity.…”

Securing clinical locations for Bachelor of Nursing Science (BSN) programs is always a complex challenge, particularly when clinical experiences are focused on vulnerable populations such as pediatric psychiatric patients. To provide students with a meaningful clinical experience during the first weeks of the COVID-19 pandemic, we developed a telehealth simulation centered on a pediatric psychiatric patient with unfolding adolescent depression and suicidal ideation. This case study uses qualitative data analysis of student debriefing sessions as well as a pre/post test design to explore the effectiveness of the simulation. Results suggest that simulations can be useful for presenting unique patient scenarios focused on therapeutic communication in psychiatric assessment, particularly for vulnerable patient populations. Quantitative data analysis showed BSN students improved their understanding of communication needs of adolescents and retained their knowledge over time; qualitative comments showed that students felt the simulation was a valuable learning experience and achieved key learning outcomes.
