Highlights
- •Simulation is a well-accepted learning strategy that can be substituted for some clinical experiences.
- •It can present learners with authentic practice issues and prepare them for clinical realities.
- •A diverse range of innovative, cost, and tested simulation approaches is presented to spark creativity.
Abstract
Background
Innovations in simulation in nursing and health care continue to be developed as creative
and committed educators respond to challenges of providing pedagogically sound, engaging
and effective learning experiences for large student cohorts. Time-pressed educators
may find it difficult to network with others working in simulation-based learning,
and thus, it is useful to provide summaries or snapshots to provide a brief overview
of activities in various countries using simulation in a variety of ways.
Method
The purpose of this paper is to profile a diverse range of innovative, cost-effective,
and tested simulation approaches that have been implemented in healthcare programs
by nursing educators from a range of countries to spark creativity. Each strategy
was designed to address contemporary and critical practice issues.
Results
They facilitate immersion in authentic clinical scenarios, increase students' awareness
of cues in the environment that may compromise health and safety.
Conclusion
These snapshots of simulation prepare students for cultural or clinical realities
that they may not routinely encounter because of the inherent restrictions associated
with clinical placements.
