Addressing 4Ms of Age-Friendly Health Systems for Older Adults in Family Nurse Practitioner Education through Simulation-Based Learning
The population in the United States is aging, and our healthcare system is often unprepared to address the complex needs of older adults (Institute for Healthcare Improvement [IHI], 2020). Family nurse practitioner (FNP) programs have an important role to create a strong foundation in geriatric care in their education before students enter into practice. The authors went beyond didactic and clinical experiences in preparing FNP student to care for the older patient, developing an innovative approach using simulation and the IHI 4Ms framework.

Mediating Effects of Cognitive Load on the Relationship Between Learning Flow and Clinical Reasoning Skills in Virtual Simulation Learning
In the current COVID-19 pandemic, many nursing colleges have replaced the traditional clinical practicum with virtual simulation (vSim) to educate nursing students (Kim, Kang,& De Gagne, 2021). vSim learning refers to computer-based simulation education in which learners solve problems by communicating and interacting with participants in real-time in a virtual environment similar to the real clinical environment (Lioce, 2020). With vSim, real people operate a simulated sy stem that reproduces reality on a computer screen to practice decision making, motion control, and communication skills (Foronda, Fernandez-Burgos...

Creating an Asynchronous Telehealth Simulation for Advance Nursing Practice Students
The COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns affected both the delivery method for health care and higher education. These lockdowns facilitated the adoption and utilization of telehealth following the initial surge of the novel coronavirus for health care. Privately insured telehealth medical claims nationally increased over 8,000% and nearly half of Medicare primary care visits were provided via telehealth by April 2020 (Assistant Secretary for Planning and Evaluation, 2020; FAIR Health, 2020). Telehealth is the use of telecommunication technologies, such as video conferencing, to provide “long-distance clinical health care, p...

Co-debriefing Virtual Simulations: An International Perspective
The process of debriefing in the context of healthcare involves the facilitation of a discussion between two or more individuals to explore and analyze a situation with the aim of gaining insight and improving clinical practice (Cheng et al., 2015). Debriefing is an essential element of best practices in simulated practice that deepens learning and promotes reflection (INACSL, 2016, Fey, Scrandis, Daniels,& Haut, 2014).

Virtual Simulation as a Learning Tool for Teaching Graduate Nursing Students to Manage Difficult Conversations
As enrollment in graduate nursing programs continues to increase, it is important to include learning strategies that are feasible for online learning (American Association of Colleges of Nursing AACN, 2019; Foronda& Bauman, 2014). Even with an increase in enrollment in master and doctoral nursing programs, many qualified applicants are turned away from admission each year due to a shortage of faculty, preceptors, and/or clinical education sites (American Association of Colleges of Nursing AACN, 2019; AACN, 2020a, AACN, 2020b).

Situational Awareness Differences Between Novice and Expert Nurses: Is There a Correlation With Clinical Judgment?
Nurses are responsible for recognizing and initiating treatment for patient deterioration. Even novice nurses may be required to intervene as patient deterioration is not predicable or isolated to higher acuity areas. Strong clinical reasoning or clinical judgment skills have been associated with improved nursing ability to recognize and intercede in situations of patient deterioration. Effective clinical judgment relies on the nurse recognizing cues, interpreting them, and acting on them; tasks experts do better than novices (Benner, Sutphen, Leonard,& Day, 2009; Levett-Jones et al., 2010; Sitterding, Broome, Everet...

State of Prebriefing and Debriefing in Virtual Simulation
The growth of technology has led a movement of utilization of best practices in nursing education. Foronda et al. (2020) conducted a systematic review on the use of virtual simulation (VS). The authors found evidence supporting VS “leading to statistically significant gains in outcomes when compared with traditional methods'' (p.51). However, the varied context and modalities for VS make it difficu lt to determine best practice for its use (Foronda et al., 2020). State Boards of Nursing have been setting guidelines for the use of simulation in nursing education using the evidence from the National Council State Boa...

Interprofessional Disaster Simulation During the COVID-19 Pandemic: Adapting to Fully Online Learning
The COVID-19 pandemic has underscored the importance of a healthcare workforce prepared for all types of public health emergencies. Training and education regarding disaster health management may prevent excess illness, injury, and death (Walsh et al., 2012). The entire healthcare workforce must be strengthened to improve response to large-scale disasters, including pandemics (Veenema, 2020). Disaster health leaders have called for increased efforts in developing interprofessional learning opportunities (Veenema et al., 2017). (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

Enhancing the Structural Competency of Nurses Through Standardized Patient Simulation
This article seeks to contribute to bridge this gap by presenting how structural competency can be promoted through online simulation training in nursing education. We suggest that SBL can help nurses translate the theoretical understanding of social, economic, political, policy, and legal processes into clinical practices.

Relationships Between Internal Factors, Social Factors and the Sense of Presence in Virtual Reality-Based Simulations
Over the last few years, the use of Virtual Reality (VR) has moved from global entertainment (Dara et al., 2012) to various fields: gaming, military and aviation trainings,architectural design, psychosocial therapy and education. In healthcare, VR has been mainly adopted for therapeutical purposes, (e.g. managing phobia or anxiety through VR exposing therapy) (Freeman et al., 2017; Neri et al., 2017), and educational purposes (e.g. surgical procedures, teamwork) (Diegmann et al., 2015; Englund, Olofsson,& Price, 2017).

Effects of Simulation-based Scrub Nurse Education for Novice Nurses in the Operating Room: A Longitudinal Study
Modern surgery requires the co-operation of healthcare professionals with different skills to effectively treat patients. In addition to technical expertise, surgical teams use a variety of non –technical skills. These cognitive skills complement technical skills to achieve safe and efficient practices. Non–technical skills differ from psychomotor skills in that they involve interactions between team members (communication, teamwork, leadership, etc.) and cognitive processes (e.g., the ability to read and understand situations and make decisions).

End of Life Care and Advance Care Planning for People with Dementia: A Pilot Simulation Course for Healthcare Professionals
Person-centered caring for individuals nearing the end of their life is an integral part of dementia care. However, providing end-of-life (EOL) care requires competent communication and relationship building skills that are often not elaborated on during occupational training (Kumar& Kuriakose, 2013). Many healthcare professionals also reported difficulties in recognizing the advanced stage of dementia as a terminal illness (Lee et al., 2017). It is therefore essential to create awareness on advanced dementia for healthcare professionals in order to recognize when individuals are neari ng their end of life, allowing th...
