Impact of Virtual Simulation Games to Promote Cultural Humility Regarding the Care of Sexual and Gender Diverse Persons: A Multi-Site Pilot Study
Nurses and nursing students need to learn to interact with and address the unique health concerns of individuals who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, and 2 spirit (LGBTQI2S). We created an open-access eLearning toolkit featuring 4 virtual simulation games (VSGs), allowing learners to experience clinical encounters with LGBTQ12S individuals and practice applying concepts of cultural humility to promote cultural safety. The purpose of this paper is to describe the initial evaluation of feasibility and impact of the Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI) Nursing Education Toolkit VSGs. ...

PEARLS Debriefing Compared to Standard Debriefing Effects on Nursing Students ’ Professional Competence and Clinical Judgment: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Debriefing is an important learning component of simulation-based education (SBE) for nursing students. The evidence-based, scripted, and structured debriefing model —Promoting Excellence and Reflective Learning in Simulation (PEARLS) is meeting the standard of best practice by using a blended approach in the debriefing process with appropriate integration of feedback, debriefing, and/or guided reflection. Evidence demonstrating that PEARLS promotes better out comes than other debriefing strategies is lacking. (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

A DEI Call to Action: Racial Equity in Simulation Leadership Beginning the Conversation
Recent social unrest over systemic racial injustice has put a national focus on promoting racial equality. While there have been Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) actions taken to implement needed systemic transformation in simulation leadership, more work is needed. In simulation, there is a lack of racial diversity on the executive boards of our leading organizations. Although we have been fortunate to have great mentorship, we would be remiss not to mention the barriers that we and other people of color have encountered. (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

Transitioning a Leadership Case Study to an Interactive Student Experience
Leadership is a nursing competency that encompasses advocacy for patients and the nursing profession (American Association of Colleges of Nursing [AACN], 2021). The Essentials (AACN, 2021) are used to define quality in nursing education and provide expected competencies that must be included in nursing curricula. Within the AACN Essentials is a framework of domains, and Domain Ten focuses on leadership d evelopment and new graduates’ competency and confidence in leadership (AACN, 2021). The ability of the learner to “demonstrate leadership behaviors in professional situations” is crucial (AACN, 2021, p. (Source...

What is the Best Method to Teach Screen-Based Simulation in Anesthesia Distance Education?
Increasingly, screen-based simulation (SBS) using computer-based technology to present patient scenarios on monitor displays has assumed a major role in anesthesia education (Swerdlow, Soelberg,& Osborne-Smith, 2020). In this type of high-fidelity simulation, advanced graphics allow students represented as avatars to interact virtually with patients in hypothetical storylines (Green, Tariq,& Green, 2016). Recently, sophisticated software programs have permitted online instructor-led synchronous SBS for anesthesia distance education, and such opportunities effectively supplement traditional mannequin-based simulation (M...

Relationship between Health Literacy and Simulation Learning in Korean Nursing Students
Simulation learning is an innovative educational strategy that enables technical and nontechnical healthcare learning in a safe and controlled environment to overcome issues concerning patient safety and rights protection, prevention and management of medical accidents, and lack of opportunities in the practice environment (Jones, Passos-Neto,& Braghiroli, 2015). Simulation-based nursing education provides a realistic experience resulting in high satisfaction (Cant& Cooper, 2017) and positively affects competencies, such as confidence or reduced anxiety in patient management (Shin, Park,& Kim, 2015), clinical knowledg...

Decision-Making Errors During Recognizing and Responding to Clinical Deterioration: Gaze Path-Cued Retrospective Think-Aloud
Investigating the way nurses process clinical information and how this interaction affects patient safety, is known as human factors (Dror, 2020; Tung, Chang, Ming& Chao, 2014). Understanding human factors is fundamental for safe practice (Dror, 2020; Tung et al., 2014) with nurses required to demonstrate wide-ranging cognitive skills and to provide safe patient care. In a study by Cooper, Cant, Bogossian, Kinsman and Bucknall (2015) nurses’ abilities were found to be less effective in attention demanding situations, particularly w hen caring for acutely deteriorating patients.

Implicit Bias Scenario Design: What Can We Learn from Cognitive Science?
Designing simulation-based experiences (SBE) that address bias requires an understanding of evidence-based bias mitigating strategies to accurately identify critical actions and performance measures. However, mitigating bias strategies have their own set of ambiguities. Through the lens of applied behavioral and cognitive science, this paper presents an interdisciplinary framework on “perspective-taking” that can be used to explore mechanisms of implicit bias, bias mitigating strategies, and practical applications that can be incorporated into simulation-based experiences.

Simulation Anxiety and its Effect on Clinical Judgment for Undergraduate Nursing Students
Research has demonstrated the effectiveness of simulation in nursing education to improve clinical judgment (Klenke-Borgmann, Cantrell,& Mariani, 2020; Lawrence, Messias,& Cason, 2018). Even before the COVID-19 pandemic, simulation was increasingly being used in nursing education to replace clinical. Both face-to-face and virtual simulations provide an adjunct to clinical learning in which students can have standardized practice in developing clinical judgment (CJ) in a safe environment without risk of patient harm (Fogg, Kubin, Wilson,& Trinka, 2020).

An Educator's Anthology of Virtual Simulation Applications for Nursing Curricula: A Mapping Review
Prelicensure nursing students have been required to transition from classroom-based learning to distance and virtual learning during the COVID-19 pandemic when schools of nursing were closed. Almost overnight, nurse educators were propelled into an online education delivery mode, prompting them to adopt a different pedagogy. Increasingly, computer-based virtual simulation experiences are being substituted for clinical practice (Verkuyl, Lapum, St-Amant, Hughes,& Romaniuk, 2021) and to replace face-to-face teaching (Palancia Esposito& Sullivan, 2020).

Creating Inclusive Learning Environments for Chinese and American Pediatric Nursing Students
Globalization has created the need for a culturally competent health care workforce (Bednarz, Schim,& Doorenbos, 2010; Goodman, 2020; Vahed& Rodriguez, 2021). As the largest and most trusted segment of health care professionals, nurses must be culturally competent to promote health and address complex health needs in increasingly diverse patient populations as well as collaborate with increasingly diverse teams of health care professionals (Somme rs& Bonnel, 2020; Vahed& Rodriguez, 2021). Cultural competence not only facilitates the provision of informed, optimal healthcare, it promotes inclusive and equitable wo...

Lessons From Implementing Virtual Simulations: A Multi-Program Evaluation
There has been a significant shift in nursing education worldwide, with many nursing programs using virtual simulation in ways and volumes that had not previously been done. Rather than slowly introducing nurse educators to virtual simulation, the pandemic accelerated its use in all clinical practice areas. Simulation as a pedagogy is well established within nursing education, with virtual simulation being a newer method within the broader scope of simulation-based learning in the health professions (Luctkar-Flude et al., 2021).

Adapting the Use of Mask Ed ™ Simulation in Nursing Programmes During the COVID- 19 Pandemic
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, nurse academics have been challenged with the implementation of meaningful simulation activities in remote learning environments. Mask-Ed ™ (KRS Simulation) (here after referred to as Mask-Ed™) is one modality of simulation that was shown to be easily implemented in the virtual learning platform. Mask-Ed™ is a simulation technique which involves the educator/ teacher applying silicone props and in doing so becoming disguised so that they can then transform into another person/ character.
