Enhancing Patient Safety in Nursing Education Through Patient Simulation

# data[].attributes.body
-Simulation is a technique or device that attempts to create characteristics of the real world
-Patient Simulators allow the educator(s) to control the learning environment through scheduling of practice, providing feedback, and minimizing or introducing environmental distractions
-Patient simulators can interact or react to students' actions
-Human patient simulators are interactive mannequins that are capable of realistic physiologic responses such as respiration, pulses, heart sounds, breath sounds, urinary output, and pupil reaction. They also have the ability to communicate with the students

(Continued)
-Numerous aspects and principles of patient safety can be incorporated into education of nurses and nursing students using the patient simulator such as: preventing medication errors, developing critical thinking and clinical decision making skills, promoting effective communication, and encouraging teamwork
- Many studies have concluded that simulation can enhance learning by providing feedback, repetitive practice, curriculum integration, a range of difficulty level, multiple learning strategies, a capture of clinical variation, a controlled environment, individualized learning, defined outcomes, and simulator validity

(Durham & Alden, 2008)

-Simulations allow for real time feed back
-Does not harm actual patients
-Allows learning to be done in a controlled and safe environment
-Student can repeat simulation as many times necessary until he or she masters that skill
-More convenient, lessens need for clinical sites

Disadvantages of Human Patient Simulation

Disadvantages of Human Patient Simulation

# data[].attributes.body
- Can be costly

- Cannot possible recreate all concerns or elements in  clinical situation

- Requires nursing faculty trained in simulation

-Can cause students to learn incorrect information if poor quality

(Munday, 2022)

# data[].attributes.body
-Whether simulations are done with human patient simulators or virtually, both can easily be used in distant learning
-If enrolled in online/distant learning health courses, staff can arrange for students to come in and complete human patient simulations in person for more realistic experience...This is especially helpful when in person clinicals (such as during or post pandemic) are limited
-Online/Distant learners can use virtual simulation more conveniently. Usually this can be done by a laptop or mobile device in the comfort of their own home or setting of choice
-Both human patient simulations and virtual simulations are beneficial to distant learners because they allow for flexibility in schedules and provide learning experiences in a controlled and supportive environment

Full Code Medical Simulation

-Allows you to practice risky clinical diagnoses in safe environment

-Practice on demand anytime

-Has 160 cases across 31 specialties

Patient Safety AR

-Fast paced game designed to help medical professionals to spot safety hazards in virtual patient rooms

- Content focuses on preventative measures for stopping falls or potential patient injuries

Both would be beneficial to nursing education because they are both virtual reality apps that would allow students to experience possible real life medical scenarios on their own accords. Both apps provide feedback to allow student to understand why his or her choice may not have been the best choice and provides rationales for questions asked.

Both apps can help to enhance nursing student knowledge by allowing them to practice getting "experience" without causing real patient harm. The apps also allows for students to repeat scenarios and practice necessary skills.

What is Padlet?
Padlet is an online noticeboard that can be shared with others so that they can add to or collaborate on group projects. It can be used for brainstorming, sharing notes, presentations, and for asking questions anonymously during lessons. Padlet also has the ability to provide questions and answers related to assignments. Padlet can be exported as image, spreadsheet, or PDF file as well (Sheffield Hallum University, 2023).

Advantages of Padlet
-Has the ability to add a video to it, drag in an interview, add photos, or upload documents
-Can choose custom wallpapers or themes
-There’s no limited physical space with word walls
-Easy to share links with others or collaborate with others
-Can be exported as image, spreadsheet, or PDF file

Disadvantages of Padlet
-Costs money for better versions
-Takes repetition to getting used to
