Simulations using telehealth to collaborate with other health-care professionals: effect on pre-licensure nursing students’ competencies and amount of collaboration in the clinical setting

Integrated behavioral health education using simulated patients for pediatric residents engaged in a primary care community of practice.

“…We propose that the development of a unique community identity emerges in medical professionals whose CoP is the integrated medical home (Wald, 2015). The results of our study suggest that application of the CoP framework could strengthen future interdisciplinary teaching about collaborative practice, as previously demonstrated in other graduate medical education settings (Clark et al, 2017; Lees & Meyer, 2011; Mitzel et al, 2021; Powers et al, 2020; Roberts et al, 2012; Sterrett et al, 2015).…”

“…Many studies have investigated the use of simulated patients (SPs) to introduce trainees to procedural and communication skills with patients (Brown et al, 2012; Fallucco et al, 2010; Gilfoyle et al, 2017; Liaw et al, 2014; Mills et al, 2013; Powers et al, 2020). Very few studies report the incorporation of simulated patients (SPs) into BH training, but those that do have shown the potential to change BH management in pediatric practice (Fallucco et al, 2019; Petts et al, 2018).…”

Improving Nurse Practitioner Students’ Knowledge and Confidence in the Identification and Management of Human Trafficking Victims

“…The objective was to improve knowledge of human trafficking, enable students to identify potential victims of human trafficking, implement interventions when confronted with a potential human trafficking case, offer the appropriate community resources for victims, and initiate conversations with the interprofessional team regarding the management of potential human trafficking cases. The literature shows a significant lack of knowledge of health care providers regarding the identification of human trafficking victims in the clinical setting (Donahue et al, 2019; Richie-Zavaleta et al, 2019). With approximately 88% of trafficking victims receiving medical care and 63% receiving care specifically in the ED (Lederer & Wetzel, 2014), it is imperative that providers are prepared to identify potential victims of human trafficking, implement appropriate interventions, and initiate referrals to community resources.…”

“…Victims of human trafficking experience or are placed at risk for negative and life-altering health consequences including physical trauma, sexually transmitted infections, acute medical conditions, pregnancy-related issues, and exacerbations of untreated chronic diseases. Trafficked individuals may also experience psychiatric emergencies including major depression, suicidality, toxidromes, substance use disorders, and anxiety (McAmis et al, 2022; Coughlin, Greenbaum, Titchen, 2020; Titchen et al, 2017; Richie-Zavaleta et al, 2019; United States Department of Justice (US DOJ), 2016; Miller et al, 2016).…”

“…Current evidence supports that many health care providers who come in contact with victims of human trafficking are not educationally prepared to recognize and intervene in support of the trafficked individuals’ safety and protection. The most commonly cited reason is due to a knowledge deficit in the identification of this vulnerable population (McAmis et al, 2022; Miller, Duke, Northam, 2016; Richie-Zavaleta et al, 2019; United States Department of Justice (US DOJ), 2016). In addition to health care providers’ limitations in knowledge, the majority of trafficking victims do not disclose their situation, and therefore numerous trafficked persons go unrecognized.…”
