Fidelity A.the quality or state of being faithful B: accuracy in detail C: Exactness Reality “A successful scenario is not based on the realism of the simulation itself, but rather the alchemy of participants stepping into their roles, connecting with others in the scenario, and actively linking to their previous social, clinical, and psychological experience.” Rudolph et al. Sim Healthcare. 2(3): , Fall 2007.

Learning Objectives Environmental Fidelity – extent to which simulation duplicates motion cues, visual cues and other sensory information from the environment Environment

Learning Objectives What cues, clues and responses does the simulator provide? How do I provide information that the simulator can’t provide? How can I elicit responses from the learners? Responses

Learning Objectives Learner Fidelity - Psychological – degree to which trainee perceives simulation as believable. Without suspending disbelief the learners will not behave as they do in the real world Fiction contract – Learners and Facilitator agree to make simulation as real as possible with available resources and technology As longs as participants perceive the environment and responses as plausible, then the simulation will remain intact. (Steve Nelson, Brigham & Women’s Hosp) Interactions

Learning Objectives Equipment Fidelity – degree to which a simulator and the equipment used in a simulation session duplicates appearance and feel of real system Low – orange for IM injections, museum gel for edema, task trainer Medium – task trainer with SP High – patient simulator Equipment

Let’s get cooking…… Burns and Blisters Mix fiber with warm water to consistency of applesauce Place mixture on body part Allow to harden Color with makeup to create desired look –Bruising –Ashes –Red lipstick for road rash Make blisters with petroleum jelly (Pictures taken from previous SUN Realism presentations)

Schkin “Schkin” (simulated skin): In a large bowl, mix together all of (2) 13 oz. jars of petroleum jelly, (3) 16 oz. boxes of corn- starch, and tablespoons cocoa powder (depending on darkness of color desired). These ‘homemade’ kits have one bowl of the lightest (2 T. cocoa powder) and one bowl of the darkest (6 T. cocoa powder). You don’t want it too sticky nor too dry. Best to mix the cocoa powder into the cornstarch before adding the petroleum jelly. You can begin mixing with a spatula, but eventually will need to use rubber gloves and knead with both hands to get it all totally mixed. Clean up with paper towels, then wash your hands/tools with warm water and soap. Let’s get cooking……
