“…[14,15] Simulation's other advantage is creating an open educational environment that frees learners to make mistakes without risk to patient safety, which further reinforces memory and retention. [16,17] Finally, skill and knowledge decay is known to occur over time after training, so team-based simulation using high-fidelity mannequins is endorsed by the American Heart Association (AHA) to enhance retention of the resuscitation training. [18] Communication, specifically "Activation of the emergency response system", is a recognized important aspect of resuscitation and emergency care of a deteriorating patient in a facility, such that it is a component of the AHA's inpatient "Chain of Survival" algorithm.…”

Background: Recognition and timely management of medical emergencies in non-critical care units are essential in initiating and delivering high quality care. Simulation training is a constructive tool that can be utilized to refresh and maintain knowledge and skills for staff that may not encounter medical emergencies frequently. This study examined staff that work at the John D. Dingell VA Medical Center Community Living Center (CLC), a subacute and inpatient rehabilitation unit, on their critical thinking skills, knowledge, role responsibilities and confidence levels prior to and after implementation of a mixed intervention of a one-hour webinar didactic and one-hour case-based simulation with debriefing. The purpose of the study was to improve non-critical care staff critical thinking, knowledge and confidence when working with a deteriorating patient.Methods: A pretest-posttest study design was used to conduct the study. Pre and post surveys were given to 42 health professionals which included registered nurses (RN), licensed practical nurses (LPN) and nursing aides after participating in a case scenario using a high-fidelity mannequin to simulate a medical emergency. Analyses were performed using the two-tailed t-test with p-value significance of less than .05 using Excel and JMP by SAS.Results: Among the 42 participants, there was a significant improvement in confidence for recognizing signs of patient deterioration for timely activation of code team (p < .001). Critical thinking skills and knowledge on appropriate activation of the type of response team based on patients’ speed of deterioration also improved after the intervention (p < .001). Overall, the staff felt more comfortable, confident and knowledgeable concerning their roles and local policy of emergent situations.Conclusions: A team-based case scenario simulation course may improve non-critical care nursing staff confidence, knowledge and critical thinking as it pertains to activation of code teams and willingness to actively participate in medical emergencies.

“…The National League for Nursing (NLN) endorsed this study and the findings (2015).Furthermore, they promote simulation as an effective and evidence-based method for fostering critical thinking and reasoning skills for patient care [2]. In addition to those benefits of simulation, this methodology has been found to facilitate teamwork and mastery of practical skills related to clinical care [3][4][5]as well as cognitive skills [6,7].Simulation based learning has been found to be an effective tool to improve early recognition of clinical decline [8]and build confidence and knowledge in critical care situations [9].For example, students are paired together as a teaching strategy to foster team communication and collaboration. Participant preparation is necessary for students to successfully accomplish simulation objectives [10].Unlike a classroom setting or a paper and pencil test, simulation allows the learner to function in an environment that is as close as possible to an actual clinical situation and provides them the opportunity to "think on their feet, not in their seat" [11].…”

This article introduces a rural university and community hospital collaboration.Lock Haven University Nursing Department located in rural Pennsylvania, devised a solution that is not only beneficial to the university, but to students and a local clinical facility. The development of a hospital-based simulation center partnership designed to create a dynamic comprehensive high-fidelity simulation with practical applications for pre-licensure nursing students and community health care workers.The collaboration will allow students to learn in an environment that is set in a retired Intensive Care Unit. Unique to the LHU Nursing and Penn Highlands collaboration, is utilizing a simulation that applies real patient information coupled with supportive case scenarios. The Simulation Center provides a positive learning experience in which students refine their patient management skills and collaborate with multidisciplinary team members.

“…As demonstrated by the pre/post-ΜСQѕ test, students performed better after the completion of the seminar. [34] This may be due to students of the simulation group had given a chance for demonstration and make a mistake and redemonstration and correction of their mistakes that had led to gaining the confidence of improving practical skills.…”

Background: Simulation is a potentially powerful teaching approach that engages nursing students and requires them to use critical thinking and clinical reasoning, and provides an opportunity for reflective learning and integration of the student's knowledge. Aim of the Study: was to study effect of simulation on students' achievement and satisfaction in normal labor modules.Design: A Quasi experimental study was used. Setting: This study was conducted at maternity nursing lab & lecture class in the faculty of nursing Benha University.Sample: Purposive sample of 60 students were included in the study subjected for simulation achievement in labor modules and 60 students were included in control group in the study subjected. Data Collection Tool:The of data collection were self-administered questionnaire sheet, observational checklist, students' satisfaction with learning method and media for the module of labor (Noelle mannequin and videos).Result: There was a highly statistical difference regarding students' practical skills during process of labor including perineal care, abdominal examination, vaginal examination, handling, assessment of fundus, placental examination and newborn physical assessment of both phase of assessment.Conclusion: Simulated delivery room classes were an effective training approach; they provide students with practices that result in a significantly higher practical achievements and higher satisfaction scores compared to the conventional training. Recommendations: Maternity nursing students should be provided by variety of simulation-based education on maternity nursing skills to increase level of performance, satisfaction, and self-confidence.
