“But I'm a Good Driver!”: A Standardized Patient Simulation to Teach Nurse Practitioner Students to Screen Older Adult Drivers
In the United States (US) approximately one in five automobile drivers are 65 or older (US Department of Transportation, 2020). For older adults, driving maintains community mobility, independence, connection with society, and facilitates self-care (Stav& Ekelman, 2018). Common age-related changes in cognitive, psychomotor, and visual-perceptual domains and the effects of diseases and medications can negatively impact driving performance and place older adults at higher risk of motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) (Pomidor, 2019).

Educational 360-video development for clinical practice improvement toward Deaf and Hard-of-Hearing Population
Enhancing empathy and awareness of clinical practitioners for population-specific healthcare challenges is needed to provide patient-centered care and overcome health-system barriers (Butler et al., 2016). However, engineering an experience to foster empathy and awareness in a nursing education teaching-learning environment is a challenge, as a feeling of immersion or “walking in someone's shoes” is necessary for empathy to be developed (van Loon, Bailenson, Zaki, Bostick,& Willer, 2018). Virtual reality has been used as an educational tool for students to understand a “day-in-the-life” of another, which enhan...

Early Evidence for Using a Train-the-Trainer Program to Teach Debriefing for Meaningful Learning
Quality debriefing is a critical component of simulation pedagogy (Alexander et al., 2015). The Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best PracticeTM recommend that debriefers should demonstrate competence, proficiency, be skilled in evidenced-based debriefing practices (INACSL Standards Committee et al., 2021a), and participate in ongoing professional development (INACSL Standards Committee et al., 2021b). Despite these recommendations, no definition of formal training or subsequent competency has been established (Bradley et al., 2019; Smiley, 2019). (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

Development of a Multiple-Patient Simulation and its Effectiveness in Clinical Judgment and Practice Readiness: A Randomized Controlled Trial
A Multiple Patient Simulation (MPS) involves multiple low-fidelity or high-fidelity simulators in one simulation setting (Horsley, Bensfield, Sojka,& Schmitt, 2014). Previous research indicates MPS is a promising educational method that reflects the reality of nurses who must care for multiple patients simultaneously (Powers et al., 2020). Based on the observation that nursing students in MPSs have difficulties prioritizing and solving problems, Beroz (2016) suggested nurses train to care for multiplepatients simultaneously before transitioning from the educational environment to a clinical environment.

A Longitudinal and Repeated Cross-sectional Study on the Effectiveness of the Transition of Clinical Teaching from Traditional to Simulation Era
Critical care nursing is an advanced course in the nursing curriculum that requires mastery of fundamental nursing knowledge and skills. Nursing students must be equipped with appropriate competencies and expertise in dealing with different types of patients and conditions in the clinical setting, particularly in advanced courses such as critical care. Identifying their shortcomings and weaknesses in the learning process are important aspects of solidifying their readiness to practice. Moreover, simulation-based training permits nursing students to apply their knowledge in a realistic and risk-free environment. (Source: Cl...

Understanding Mixed-Methods in Healthcare Simulation Research: Scope and Limitations
Healthcare simulation research has emerged as a valuable tool for educating practitioners of the future, improving patient care, and healthcare system performance. To gather comprehensive insights, researchers often use a mixed-methods approach, which combines both qualitative and quantitative data collection and analysis techniques. While Clinical Simulation in Nursing receives many articles that employ a mixed-methods approach, we continue to see authors who indicate that they are using mixed-methods, however it quickly becomes apparent that this is not necessarily the case.

Using Web-based Training and Low-fidelity Simulation to Provide Education and Support to Emergency Nurses Undertaking Non-Urgent Paediatric Inter-Hospital Transfers
Internationally, interhospital transfers are common (Mueller, Zheng, Orav,& Schnipper, 2017) and patient transport services represent a substantial health expenditure in healthcare systems. Australian States and Territories spent $3.3 billion on patient transport services in 2019-2020 with an average annual growth rate of 5.8% over a 10-year period (Australian Institute of Health and Welfare, 2021). The majority of patient transfers are of a nonurgent but essential nature with patients requiring transfer to access optimal services. (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

Telehealth Virtual Simulation for Community Health Nursing Students
Telehealth services have been found to be an effective strategy in reducing health disparities and improving health outcomes among populations with limited access to care (Badowski et al., 2018; Litke et al., 2018; McElroy, Day,& Becevic, 2020). More specifically, telehealth can provide a high-quality service that leads to increased access to care, self-awareness and management of chronic conditions, decreased missed appointments, a convenient modality for health education, improved communication, decreased travel time, improved medication adherence, and decreased hospital readmissions (Kruse et al., 2017).

Improving Management of Absconsion in Forensic Mental Health Through Simulation-Based Education
Absconsion from mental health facilities has been a challenging issue, potentially creating adverse effects for patients, their families, and clinicians (Muir-Cochrane, Mosel, Gerace, Esterman,& Bowers, 2011). Absconsion of forensic mental health patients (FMHP), who had a conflict with the law and were legally mandated to a secure setting, can add to the perception of a threat to public safety (Wilkie, Penney, Fernane,& Simpson, 2014). The definition of absconsion varies within the literature. (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

Virtual Reality Simulation's Influence on Nursing Students' Anxiety and Communication Skills With Anxious Patients: A Pilot Study
Anxiety disorders are the most prevalent mental health disorder in the United States and globally, with approximately 40 million United States adults experiencing anxiety each year (Anxiety& Depression Association of America, 2022), and 45.82 million anxiety cases across the world (Yang et al., 2021). Unfortunately, many anxiety sufferers go undiagnosed or untreated because of a perceived negative societal stigma, personal embarrassment, or normalization of symptoms (Sari& Yuliastuti, 2018; Wei, McGrath, Hayden,& Kutcher, 2015, 2016).

The Effect of Mixed Reality-based HoloPatient in Problem-based Learning Contexts
Problem-based learning (PBL) is a student-centered approach in which students are exposed to real-life problems destined to trigger appropriate responses and develop dispositions in the context of complex, multifaceted, and realistic situations (McGarry, Aubeeluck, James,& Hinsliff-Smith, 2011). In the active, self-directed, and cyclical process of PBL, students usually work in small groups to explore and discuss uncertainties ’ that arise from the learning materials. Each student addresses his or her own learning needs and is tasked with examining specific issues that may arise. (Source: Clinical Simulation in Nursing)

Student Perceptions of a Novel Learning Method to Improve Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer/Questioning Knowledge, Skills, and Attitudes
The lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer/questioning (LGBTQ) population suffers from significant health disparities compared to heterosexual and cisgender groups. In 2016, gay and bisexual men accounted for over half of all cases of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), and nearly 70% of new infections occurred from male-to-male sexual contact (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, n.d.). Gay men are at higher risk for certain types of cancer, like prostate and anal cancer, as well as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) like HIV, human papillomavirus, and hepatitis (Hafeez, Zeshan, Tahir, Jahan,& Navee...
