The Effect of Standardized Patient use in Teaching Preoperative Care Practices on Students' Knowledge, Skills, and Anxiety in Clinical Practice
In the field of surgical nursing, rapid decision-making in a comprehensive, applied, and clinical environment is critical. Simulation is one of the recommended training strategies to provide safer and more effective care in the clinical setting (Hayden& Alexander, 2014; NLN, 2015; ). One of the high-fidelity simulation methods commonly used in simulated clinical settings is the standardized patient (SP) (Rutherford-Hemming, Alfes,& Breymier, 2019).

Effectiveness of Debriefing for Meaningful Learning-based simulation training on high-risk neonatal care: A randomized controlled simulation study
Clinical training is an integral part of learning, through which nursing students directly and indirectly apply theories and key nursing techniques learned in class to real clinical situations (Gonz ález-García, Lana, Zurrón-Madera, Valcárcel-Álvarez,& Fern ández-Feito, 2020). However, recent issues regarding the protection of patients’ rights and infections in clinical settings have limited students’ opportunities for nursing practice during clinical training (Shin, Lee,& Rim, 2015). Furthermore, since the outbreak of the global coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, clinical training has been restricte...

The Effect of a Geriatric Simulation-enhanced Interprofessional Education on Health Profession Students
Older adults over the age of 65 are the fastest growing population in the United States with a 6.3% increase from 2010 to 2019 (US Census Bureau, 2019). Alzheimer's Disease (AD), the most common form of dementia, is ranked the fifth leading cause of death in those aged 65 and over, and third leading cause of death in those over 85 (Kramarow& Tejada-Vera, 2019). Further, 13.8 million Americans are estimated to have AD by 2050 (Hebert et al., 2013). Thus, it is urgent to prepare future health care providers to care for adults with AD.

In-Situ Simulation for Intensive Care Nurses During the COVID-19 Pandemic in Italy: Advantages and Challenges
Italy was one of the most affected Western European countries during the first outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. The great number of critically ill patients required a nationwide increase in intensive care beds (Grasselli, Pesenti,& Cecconi, 2020). Consequently, a massive nursing workforce without any precedentprior critical care training or experience was deployed to the intensive care units (ICU), trying to guarantee a nurse-to-patient ratio of 1:2, as a defined standard for Italian ICUs. Despite those recruitments, the number of experienced critical care nurses (CCN) remains too often disproportionate in relation to ...

Using Systems Thinking to Identify Staff and Patient Safety Issues in Infectious Disease Simulation Scenarios
Simulation is a well-established method used for health professional workplace learning (Elstein, Shulman,& Sprafka, 1978). Simulation can be focused on addressing learning outcomes that develop skills to improve the performance of individuals to respond to urgent healthcare events in hospital contexts, such as cardiac arrests (Adcock, Kuszajewski, Dangerfield,& Muckler, 2020) and patient deterioration (Gabbard& Smith-Steinert, 2021). Simulation can also be used to identify and improve processes in the systems used to provide patient care (Dieckmann, Friis, Lippert,&Østergaard, 2012; Gaba, 2004; McGaghie, Issenbe...

An Innovative Approach for Using Cross-Cultural, Collaborative Simulation during Undergraduate Nursing Study Abroad Exchanges
Simulation is an accepted teaching pedagogy in nursing education for practice across the continuum of care (National League for Nursing, 2015) that facilitates understanding of clinical situations requiring professional interactions while fostering the growth of professional identity (Kelly, Berragan, Husebø,& Orr, 2016). The process enhances exposure to learning technology experiences with a greater emphasis on evidence and outcome-based education then process-based education (Li, 2021). Simulation provides “near-to-reality patient care scenarios” that can replace or amplify real experiences with supervision in an...

Transitioning Undergraduate Maternal-Newborn and Pediatric Hospital Clinical Experience to Immersive Simulation-Based Education
Undergraduate students enrolled in traditional Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN) programs in the United States may encounter limited clinical practice experiences in maternal-newborn and pediatric settings (Bowling et al., 2018). Difficulties encountered in traditional clinical practice settings include restrictions of students allowed clinical site access, low patient census, differing clinical experiences, and sharing of clinical sites. The national shortage of clinical practice settings relates to increased BSN enrollment to meet national nursing shortages (Au et al., 2016; Shin et al., 2015; White, 2017). (Source: C...

Inter Disciplinary Crisis Resource Management Simulation and Perioperative Nurses: A Qualitative Study
In healthcare, simulation refers to a variety of educational methods which are implemented to facilitate training of technical, practical, and nontechnical skills. Practicing skills within one's clinical environment is known as in-situ simulation, and is used to develop skills in crisis situations or healthcare emergencies. Inherent to this is interdisciplinary team training of nontechnical skills, incorporating communication, and leadership (Forrest, McKimm,& Edgar, 2013). (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

Generic Crew Resource Management training to improve non-technical skills in acute care - Phase 2: A pre-post multicentric intervention study
Since the seminal publication of the Institute of Medicine and the WHO Curriculum for Patient Safety, it is increasingly acknowledged that non-technical skills or human factors are an important source of errors in healthcare affecting many patients worldwide (Institute of Medicine, 2000; Franck, Roes, De Schepper,& Timmermans, 2018; Herzberg et al., 2019; James, 2013). Research demonstrates that a substantial amount of these errors are preventable and deficits in non-technical skills, such as sub-optimal teamwork, interprofessional communication and decision making, or unclear leadership and task coordination, rem...

The Effect of Video Training before Organ Transplant Surgery on Patient Satisfaction and Anxiety: Head Mounted Display Effect
Solid organ transplantation is a life-saving option in end-stage organ failures (Black, Termanini, Aguirre, Hawksworth,& Sosin, 2018). The survival rate in patients undergoing organ transplantation increases incrementally each passing year (Saritas& Kapikiran, 2018). According to the Turkish Ministry of Health, a total of 14,293 organ transplant operations were performed in Turkey between 2015 and 2017, and there are still 25,131 patients waiting for an organ (Republic of Turkey Ministry of Health Organ 2017).

Playing Sick and Injured: The Experiences of Undergraduate Nurses as Casualty Actors in a Mass Casualty Simulation Exercise
The increase in frequency and severity of mass casualty incidents as a result of extreme climate events, global terrorism, pandemics and nuclear incidents, has made it important to prepare nurses with necessary skills and knowledge to manage such incidents (Currie, Kourouche, Gordon, Jorm& West, 2018). Nurses are essential health care providers during a mass casualty response, and the performance of nurses at such times relies heavily upon their training and preparation (Cusack et al., 2010). The purpose of this paper is to report the findings of a study exploring the experiences of undergraduate nurses as they partic...
