Assessment of Efficacy of Two Different Simulation Techniques Used in Breech Birth Management Training: A Randomized Controlled Study
Professional midwives are an integral part of delivering quality sexual, reproductive, maternal, and newborn healthcare (Bogren, Rosengren, Erlandsson,& Berg, 2019). Midwives must have the skills and knowledge to assist childbirth and identify problems when labor progresses well. When a midwife examines a woman in labor, she may encounter an unexpected breech presentation. Therefore, it is important for midwives to have the skills and knowledge to deliver breech babies and assist mother and baby (Shuttler, 2018). (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

Comparison of Learning Outcomes Between Active Participants and Observer Roles in Simulation-Based Learning
Simulation-based learning plays an important role in competency-based nursing education in preparing nursing students to become competent nurses (Cole, 2023). Korean simulation educators are responsible for operating simulation scenarios and conducting debriefing within limited class hours by assigning up to 20 nursing students to a simulation-based class (Kabone, 2021). Due to the large number of learners and limited simulation operation resources, students are often limited to the role of either participant or observer, with the former actively participating in simulation scenarios and the latter observing the performanc...

Evaluation of a Low-Cost Hybrid Airway Model to Train Nurse Anesthesiology Students in the Performance of Ultrasound-Guided Cricothyrotomy
Delivering anesthesia is a challenge for both the patient and the provider when facing airway complications. A complication feared by the anesthesia provider is a hypoxic brain injury resulting from the inability to secure an airway (Cook, 2018). According to the American Society of Anesthesiologists difficult airway algorithm, if ventilation is not adequate and intubation attempts are unsuccessful, the next step is to perform a cricothyroidotomy (Apfelbaum et al., 2022). The 4th National Audit Project (NAP4) of the Royal College of Anesthetists and Difficult Airway Society projected that airway management resulted in one ...

Developing Hospital Nurses ’ Clinical Reasoning Abilities in Assessing and Managing Clinical Deterioration Using a Virtual Patient Simulation: A Quasi-Experimental Study
Early recognition of patient deterioration in general wards followed by timely and appropriate management can help reduce the need for unplanned admissions to intensive care units and the length of hospitalisations, and can even improve survival rates (Vincent et al., 2018). Although early warning scores (EWS) have been widely implemented in hospitals to support the nurses ’ role in identifying clinically deteriorating ward patients, delays or failure to recognise and escalate the care of such patients continue to occur (Eddahchouri et al., 2021; Ede, Jeffs, Vollam,& Watkinson, 2020; Tirkkonen et al., 2020).

The Effectiveness of Emotional Intelligence-Driven End-of-Life Care Simulation for Nursing Students
End-of-life care (EOL) nursing emphasizes holistic care, addressing the psychological needs of those facing death or bereavement (National Consensus Project for Quality Palliative Care, 2018). The complexity of EOL care leads to the need for special skills, especially those related to emotional competence in this emotionally charged area of nursing practice (Alconero-Camarero et al., 2018; Sarabia-Cobo et al., 2017). Nursing students face extensive levels of emotional challenges in their clinical practice, including death, dying, and pain (Grobecker, 2016; Hamilton, 2010; Reeve, Shumaker, Yearwood, Crowell,& Riley, 2013). ...

Effect of Working with a Standardized Pediatric Patient on the Skills of Nursing Students in Preparing Children for a Medical Procedure
Simulation-based education is ideal for nursing education because it involves an interactive method that can be used to teach cognitive, psychomotor or affective skills to individuals or groups of any skill or proficiency level (Tanis, Quinn,& Bischoff, 2019). In a standardized patient simulation, the patient or case study is portrayed by playing the scenario prepared with structured steps. The use of standardized patients in teaching contributes to the development of the communication skills of students, history taking, and physical examination skills (Durmaz Edeer& Dicle, 2015).The concepts of illness and hospitalization...

Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Self-Debrief Prior to an Asynchronous Debrief
Virtual simulation games (VSG) are frequently used to prepare students for clinical placements as they are a proven alternative to face-to-face simulation within nursing education (Verkuyl et al., 2021). As a teaching strategy, virtual technology has demonstrated an increase in student engagement and critical thinking abilities (Padilha et al., 2019). Debriefing is an important learning strategy because it supports learners to understand and revise previously held knowledge to improve their practice (INACSL, 2016).

Incorporating Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice ™(HSSOBP™) During Community Disaster Drills
Mass casualty disasters, like airplane crashes, are global problems that can negatively impact communities (World Health Organization, 2023). While nurses are essential to disaster response, most are not adequately prepared (Alim, Kawabata& Nakazawa, 2015; Labrague et al., 2018). Many disaster simulations involve nursing students playing all roles, which prevents learning with and from other disciplines (Dinh, Tori, Francis& Hines, 2021). Immersing nursing students in a large-scale, community-based drill can enhance their disaster management competency and facilitate interprofessional learning (Alim et al., 2015), but foll...

Using Simulation to Develop Clinical Reasoning Skills for Registered Practical Nurses New to Acute Care
Healthcare organizations, especially hospitals, throughout Canada and the world have been experiencing challenges with health human resources due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Nurses have left acute care environments due to challenging working conditions and increased psychological burden while others have left the profession entirely (Canadian Federation of Nurses Untions, 2022). This has resulted in a significant shortage of nurses which was an already growing concern prepandemic (Marć, Bartosiewicz, Burzyńska, Chmiel,& Januszewicz, 2019).
