“…One example is delivering academic content through digital communication platforms (DCPs) like Zoom. The use of DCPs created opportunities to bring faculty and students together from remote distances and meet mandates to “shelter in place.” 1‐3 The requirement for shelter in place presented a particularly difficult challenge for interactive curricula such as those delivered by simulation. Traditional in‐person medical simulation provides an immersive experience that allows students to explore medical decision making and outcomes with real‐time feedback in an environment that is safe for both learners and patients.…”

Background: Mandates to social distance and "shelter in place" during the COVID-19 pandemic necessitated the exploration of new academic content delivery methods.Digital communication platforms (DCP; e.g., Zoom) were widely used to facilitate content delivery, yet little is known about DCP's capacity or effectiveness, especially for simulation.Objective: The objective was to compare the experience, outcomes, and resources required to implement a simulation-based communication skill curriculum on death notification to a cohort of learners using in-person versus DCP delivery of the same content. Methods:We used the GRIEV_ING mnemonic to train students in death notification techniques either in person or utilizing a DCP. For all learners, three measures were collected: knowledge, confidence, and performance. Individual learners completed knowledge and confidence assessments pre-and postintervention. All performance assessments were completed by standardized patients (SPs) in real time. Wilcoxon rank-sum test was used to identify differences in individual and between-group performances.Results: Thirty-four learners participated (N = 34), 22 in person and 12 via DCP. There was a statistically significant improvement in both groups for all three measures: knowledge, confidence, and performance. Between-group comparisons revealed a difference in pretest confidence but no differences between groups in knowledge or performance. More preparation and prior planning were required to set up the DCP environment than the in-person event. Conclusions:The in-person and DCP delivery of death notification training were comparable in their ability to improve individual knowledge, confidence, and performance.

“…In some studies, the Zoom platform gained prominence in the use of distance education. 8,15,16,19,23,25,26,28,30 The free options of telecommunication support to be considered, such as Skype, FaceTime, Google Hangouts, VSee and Join.me, are highlighted, characterizing it as a more economical and low-cost strategy. 6 In the meantime, telesimulation eliminates the need to have instructors, students and mannequins in the same place at the…”

Objective to analyze the “telesimulation” concept and its applicability in the context of health education. Method this is a conceptual analysis performed through a scoping review carried out in May 2021 in the following databases: PubMed, PMC, Educational Resources Information Center, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, LILACS, Scientific Electronic Library Online and Google Scholar, through the use of the descriptor “telesimulação” and its respective translations into English and Spanish. To analyze the studies, the concept’s attributes, antecedents, and consequences were assessed. Results telesimulation is defined as a branch of clinical simulation that is characterized by the promotion/enabling of educational practices in health education, performed remotely, synchronously, through video call. It aims to facilitate contact between instructors and participants in situations of need for social distance, access made difficult for economic reasons, such as the scarcity of human and material resources, and/or geographically distant, aiming at developing and improving relevant skills and abilities for health professions. Conclusion and implications for practice telesimulation represents a new opportunity in health education as it expands teaching possibilities and breaks down barriers ranging from geographic to economic.

RESUMO Objetivo analisar o conceito de telessimulação e sua aplicabilidade no contexto do ensino em saúde. Método trata-se de uma análise conceitual, realizada através de uma scoping review realizada em maio de 2021, nas seguintes bases de dados: PubMed, PMC, Educational Resources Information Center, Web of Science, Science Direct, Scopus, LILACS, Scientific Electronic Library Online e Google Scholar, mediante o uso do descritor “telessimulação” e suas respectivas traduções para inglês e espanhol. Para análise dos estudos, avaliaram-se os atributos, antecedentes e consequentes do conceito. Resultados a telessimulação é definida como uma ramificação da simulação clínica que se caracteriza pela promoção/viabilização de práticas educativas no ensino em saúde, realizadas remotamente, síncrona, através de videochamada. Tem como objetivo facilitar o contato entre instrutores e participantes em situações de necessidade de distanciamento social, acesso dificultado por razões econômicas, como a escassez de recursos humanos e materiais, e/ou geograficamente distantes, com a intenção de desenvolver e aperfeiçoar competências e habilidades pertinentes as profissões da saúde. Conclusão e implicações para a prática a telessimulação representa uma nova oportunidade na formação em saúde, ao ampliar as possibilidades de ensino e romper barreiras que vão desde as geográficas até as econômicas.
