SIMULATION STIMULATION IN THE CLASSROOM BRING SIMULATION INTO THE CLASSROOM

Goals and objectives Goal: Increase the use of simulation in health care courses. Objectives Introduce the types of simulation activities that can be used in the classroom. Provide a template for organizing simulation activities Provide an example of an assessment of the simulation

Overview What are some of the most challenging concepts for your students or for you to present? Blood circulation from the heart and lungs Electrophysiology of the heart muscle Therapeutic communication skills Normal and abnormal breath or bowel sounds Intravenous line insertions

Overview Can simulation assist in presenting that concept? Videos-interactive Low fidelity simulators( anatomical models and skills training stations) Medium fidelity simulators (such as those which provide various sounds or positions ex. CPR mannequins) High fidelity simulators (Medi-Man, I Stan, Lucinda)

Where do I start? End of Program Objectives Course Objectives Be a manager of care for clients and their families in a variety of healthcare settings. Course Objectives Manage the care needs for clients with medical-surgical alterations. Student Learning Outcomes Identify all physiological/psychological alterations based on history and physical assessments. Identify the appropriate technology required for performing nursing assessments.

learning strategies Lecture PowerPoint presentations Assigned readings Skills videos Active learning strategies Simulation Assessment

Types of simulations? Low fidelity Medium fidelity High fidelity Games Locating veins for venipuncture Insertion of catheters Infection control practices Medium fidelity Vital signs, pulse-quality, rhythm heart sounds; bowel sounds High fidelity Complex patient scenarios Interdisciplinary patient scenarios Games Organizing of supplies for procedures What if scenarios Lab skills Demonstrations Interactive videos Role play ADL for disabled clients Visually impaired adaptations

How do I assess the effectiveness Classroom Assessment Techniques Pre and post tests Muddiest points Student generated test questions Classroom Opinion poll Application cards Summarizing Simple Survey Other Assessments Return demonstrations Quiz Concept map Exam questions

How do I get started Planning Practice Implement Use a template to insure the simulation meets the SLO’s Make sure all supplies, equipment and technology are working. Allow enough time for simulation activities. Practice Implement Evaluation of the students engagement, student learning outcomes.
