Filter by:The objective of our randomized simulation study on mannequins with a population of Basic Life Support students is to compare the quality of chest compressions, taking depth as the main variable, in two simulated scenarios of out-of-hospital cardiac arrest on a bed: one where Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation is performed on the bed and another where the patient is transferred to the ground for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.
The project is unique in that it will use virtual game simulation, a new learning method, and it will address the physical examination skills of nursing students, an area that has not been researched before. In the project, a randomized controlled research design with a pretest-posttest control group will be used. The population will consist of 200 second-year students enrolled in the Physical Examination in Nursing course at Necmettin Erbakan University, Faculty of Nursing, Department of Nursing, in the 2024-2025 Fall Semester. 120 students from the population who meet the research inclusion criteria will be randomly assigned to control (n=60) and experimental (n=60) groups according to their general academic success score. In collecting data; Introductory characteristics form, skill checklist for physical examination of the heart, skill checklist for physical examination of the abdomen, skill checklist for physical examination of the respiratory system and an evaluation form for the effect of virtual game simulation on skill practice for physical examination will be used. In the project, three different virtual game simulations will be developed for physical examinations of the heart, abdomen and respiratory system. During the fall semester, theoretical and laboratory demonstration applications will be carried out by the project team. A pre-test will be administered to all students, and then virtual game simulations will be made available to students in the experimental group for three weeks. Then, the virtual games will be closed to the students and a post-test will be administered to the experimental and control group students. After the final test application, virtual game simulations will be made available to students in the control group. In pre- and post-test applications, students will practice physical examination skills on simulated patients at three different stations (heart, abdomen and respiratory system) and will be evaluated by the project team according to skill checklists. After the skill evaluations, the students in the experimental group will be given a form to evaluate the effect of the virtual game simulation for physical examination on skill practice and will be asked to fill it out.
There are limited studies in the literature on the peer-led facilitator involved in each stage of the simulation in simulation-based experience in nursing education. The purpose of this research is to examine the effect of having a competent senior nursing undergraduate student with simulation knowledge and experience as a facilitator at every stage of the simulation, on the effectiveness of the simulation (Simulation Effectiveness Tool), and on the participants' satisfaction and self-confidence in learning. Method: This research is a prospective, randomized, crossover-designed experimental type of research. Structured Student Information Form, Modified Simulation Effectiveness Tool, Student Satisfaction, and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale will be used to collect data. The population of the research consists of all students enrolled in the first year of the Hamidiye Faculty of Nursing at the University of Health Sciences. Since voluntary participation in the research is based, students who want to participate will constitute the sample. Students will be divided into two groups of eight and will undergo two simulations for two consecutive days. Students in the first arm completed the simulation under the leadership of a peer facilitator on the first day, and under the leadership of an instructor facilitator on the second day; Students in the second arm will receive simulation training under the leadership of an instructor facilitator on the first day, and under the leadership of a peer facilitator on the second day.
The current pandemic has revealed in-person simulation training and evaluation is vulnerable to disruption, and alternatives are needed which allow remote evaluation. The recently developed Microsoft Hololens headset device allows interactable holograms to be inserted into a user's workspace (mixed reality) - permitting the augmentation of existing clinical and training spaces with holographic (i.e. virtual) patients via the prototype HoloSIM software. This study is the first known research initiative aiming to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of mixed reality for acute medicine training and assessment at a distance. Space, time, personnel, pandemic, and cost constraints limit opportunities for high-fidelity simulation exercises for post-graduate trainees at Sunnybrook. By developing and demonstrating the effectiveness of this new training modality, increased simulation exercises will lead to a higher quality education experience, better functioning teams, and better patient outcomes.
Delirium is a common symptom in the intensive care unit, which greatly affects the prognosis of critically ill patients and increases medical costs. Although many studies have implemented preventive measures, they have not been able to significantly improve the prevalence of delirium, because many medical measures devises in the intensive care unit are still necessary for patients. Therefore, early detection of patients with delirium symptoms, risk factors, and immediate Delirium management is important. Nurses are the first line of clinically important roles in assessing delirium symptoms. So, design a delirium simulation education for nurses is important.
