Closing the gap: Using simulation to improve public health clinicians ’ affirming beliefs and behaviors with LGBT clients
Quality health care for sexual and gender minorities (LGBT: lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) is affected by fear of discrimination and difficulty finding providers with knowledge of LGBT-specific care needs. Individuals who are LGBT report feeling stigma when utilizing healthcare at a level 3 times higher than their heterosexual peers (Whitehead  et al., 2016), and providers express discomfort in caring for LGBT individuals due to unfamiliarity with sexual health needs and appropriate terms for their identified gender (Smith& Turrell,  2017).

The Use of Clinical Simulation to Address Disability Content Inclusion in Nursing Education: A Review of The Literature
Worldwide, one billion people experience some form of disability (World  Health Organization [WHO], 2020). Two in five adults, or 61 million people, in the United States (US) experience at least one type of these six disabilities: mobility, cognition, independent living, hearing, vision, and self-care (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention [CDC], 2020). Disabil ities affect people in all ages, races/ethnicities, sexual orientations, genders, and socioeconomic groups and are often associated with complex medical and psychosocial needs (CDC, 2020).

Simulation-Based Teaching to Improve Perioperative Care of Transgender Patients
Approximately 1.4 million adults in the United States (US) identify as transgender and this number continues to increase (Rosendale,  Goldman, Ortiz,& Haber, 2018). Transgender is a term referring to individuals whose gender identity does not align with the gender assigned at birth (Tollinche  et al., 2018). Despite the expanding transgender population, provider education on transgender care is lacking particularly in the perioperative setting. Transgender patients are among the most underserved groups in healthcare, largely due to lack of provider education on transgender health (Wali a et al., 2019). (Source: Clinic...

Assessing Competency: An Integrative Review of The Creighton Simulation Evaluation Instrument (C-SEI) and Creighton Competency Evaluation Instrument (C-CEI)
In the early 2000s, the use of simulation in nursing education was heavily focused on demonstration of psychomotor skills. Much of simulation literature in nursing education at that time reported student and faculty perceptions and attitudes toward simulation Todd,  Manz, Hawkins, Parsons, and Hercinger (2008) shifted this paradigm when they developed the Creighton Simulation Evaluation Instrument (C-SEI) - the goal of which was to provide an instrument to reliably assess student performance in a simulated clinical environment according to the four core comp etencies (assessment, communication, critical thinking, and tec...

Combining Virtual and High-fidelity Simulation to Foster Confidence and Competency in Postpartum Assessment Complications among Undergraduate Nursing Students
In Canada, postpartum hemorrhage was reported as a the second most common severe maternal morbidity from 2010 to 2015 and is the leading cause of maternal mortality worldwide (Public  Health Agency of Canada, 2017). In 2017, there were 376,291 live births reported in Canada (Statistics Canada, 2019). Of the live births reported, 53,706 were from the province of Alberta, making it the province with the third highest birth rate. (Statistics Canada, 2019). Since maternal and infant mortality is a key indicator of a country's health status, it is important to explore how undergraduate nursing programs are preparing new n...

Developing Simulated Patients for Online Simulation: Reflections on Actor Management and Scenario Adaptation
The benefits of simulation-based training (SBT) within mental health education are supported by a growing literature base (Piot  et al., 2020). For example, SBT has been shown to improve knowledge and interprofessional working among other skills (Fernando et al., 2017). There are various methods for conducting simulation scenarios, including high-fidelity approaches involving simulated patients (SPs) played by actors. Hi gh-fidelity SBT using SPs has shown learning benefits over other approaches as actors can effectively emulate real-life interactions (Coffey et al., 2016), improving clinicians’ perception of care ...

Effect of Non-Immersive Virtual Reality Simulation on Type 2 Diabetes Education for Nursing Students: A Randomised Controlled Trial
Worldwide one in 11 adults (2-79 years) have diabetes (463 million people) of which 90% have type two diabetes (International  Diabetes Federation, 2019). Diabetes and its treatment are complex, and studies have indicated that the level of general diabetes knowledge amongst registered nurses is deficient (Alotaibi, Al-Ganmi, Gholizadeh,& Perry, 2016; Chan& Zang,  2007; Vincent et al., 2016; Yacoub et al., 2014). Hypoglycaemia, when the blood glucose drops below 3.9 mmol/L or 72 mg/dl, is considered a diabetic emergency and it is essential that nurses are able to support and manage patients in this situation (Americ...

More than a Meme: The Dunning-Kruger Effect as an Opportunity for Positive Change in Nursing Education
The Dunning-Kruger Effect (DKE) describes an ironic paradox that is evident when individuals overestimate their competence in a specific behavior, skill, or domain; whereas those who are more skilled tend to underestimate their competence (Kruger,  1999). Social media and popular news outlets are increasingly highlighting DKE in a negative but humorous fashion with memes and political cartoons, yet this phenomenon is not merely a GIF to be shared but poses a critical threat to the validity of education and research in the social sciences.

Impact of 3D Simulation Game as a Method to Learn Medication Administration Process: Intervention Research for Nursing Students
Medication administration is a nursing care activity in which nurses ’ competence is essential. Safe medication administration (MA) has an important role in nurses’ daily work (Fusco et al., 2021). Many of the incidents that undermine patient safety in hospital care are related to MA (Härkänen et al., 2019), and those also cause adverse events in patients ( Asensi-Vicente et al., 2018). In addition, lack of patient identification (Härkänen et al., 2019), identification of available medications (Martyn et al., 2019), potential medicine allergies (Mortell, 2019), and follow-up of medication response occur ...

Baby Steps Program: Telehealth Nursing Simulation for Undergraduate Public Health Nursing Students
In the United States, over 8% of newborn babies are admitted to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) annually (Mahoney  et al., 2020). Infants may require specialized care upon discharge from the NICU as they are at high risk for emergency department visits and readmissions (Boykova& Kenner,  2012; National Perinatal Association, 2020). However, families of infants with complex health needs may find it difficult to understand and follow the care instructions required for their infant (Kuo et al., 2017, Yeh et al., 2021).

Adapting a Distraction and Interruption Simulation for Safe Medication Preparation: An International Collaboration
Medication errors have two victims: patients directly harmed by the error, and nurses having harmed patients by making an error. For nursing students and new nurses, inexperience and distractions are chief factors leading to medication errors (Thomas,  McIntosh,& Allen, 2014; Wolf,  Hicks,& Serembus, 2006). Interruptions may include self-distraction, loss of focus, events occurring in close proximity, patients, other health care providers, phone calls, and texts (Hayes,  Power, Davidson, Daly,& Jackson, 2015).

Clinical FACTS: Simulation and Clinical Faculty Time Study
Though simulation adoption increased after the National Simulation Study (Hayden,  Smiley, Alexander, Kardong-Edgren,& Jeffries, 2014), faculty workload requirements associated with implementing high-quality simulation are rarely reported (Blodgett,  Blodgett,& Kardong-Edgren, 2018; Eisert& Geers,  2016). Only a handful of papers have addressed nursing faculty workload (Ellis, 2013; Waldrop& Chase,  2014), and none provided an industry-wide model for calculating workload (Natvig& Stark,  2016; West, 2017).

Augmented Reality in Nursing Education – A Pilot Study
Accurate physical skills are foundational for safe patient care. There are various teaching strategies employed to teach these specific skills in pre-licensure programs include: assessment of peers or standardized patients, the use of low and high-fidelity simulators, and computer-based virtual simulations (Jeffries,  2020). Recommendations have been suggested to improve nursing physical assessment education in core skills using alternative teaching approaches (Tan et al., 2021). The purpose of this pilot study was to examine the effects of using augmented reality (AR) in nursing education by comparing the pe rformance ...

Implementation Methods of Virtual Reality Simulation and the Impact on Confidence and Stress When Learning Patient Resuscitation: An Integrative Review
Health care simulation has existed in various forms in tertiary education for more than four decades (Nehring& Lashley, 2009). Most commonly, simulation is performed in a hands-on environment where learners work in small groups to practice clinical skills preparing them for clinical practice. The emergence of virtual reality technologies, in the past decade, has offered a new and innovative approach to simulation training in health care (Williams, Jones,& Walker, 2018).
