DEVELOPING A MULTI-DISCIPLINARY SIMULATION HOSPITAL Presented by: Lee Jerls MSN, RN and Terri Currie BSN, RN

Definition Simulation – An attempt to mimic essential aspects of a clinical simulation with the goal of understanding and managing the situation better when it occurs in actual clinical practice. – A technique that uses a situation or environment created to allow persons to experience a representation of a real event for the purpose of practice, learning, evaluation, testing, or to gain understanding of systems or human actions (

Definition: Fidelity  Fidelity  The degree to which either a simulation encounter or simulation equipment approaches reality ( )  Types:  Low fidelity manikins  Medium fidelity manikins  High fidelity manikins

Why Simulation?  “Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching Report” (Benner, Sutphen, Leonard, & Day, 2009)  “ From focus on covering decontextualized knowledge…to sense of salience, situated cognition and action in a particular situation;  From a sharp separation of clinical and classroom teaching to integration of classroom and clinical teaching;  From an emphasis on critical thinking to clinical reasoning and multiple ways of thinking that include critical thinking; and  From an emphasis on socialization and role taking to an emphasis on formation.”

Learning Theories  Constructivism learning therapy  Adult-learning theory  Brain-based learning theory  Social-cognitive learning theory  Experiential learning theory  Novice-to expert theory  A new pedagogy??

The Journey…. LSC-K Hospital  History (2007)  Appreciative Inquiry (early 2008)  Lack-of-realism  Roles and responsibilities  Orientation to the unit and equipment  Faculty continuity Scenario development

Evaluation Process  Debriefing  Reflection  Tools

National League for Nursing The Simulation Design Scale (student version), a 20-item instrument using a five- point scale, was designed to evaluate the five design features of the instructor- developed simulations used in the NLN/Laerdal study. Educational Practices Questionnaire (student version), a 16-item instrument using a five-point scale, was designed to measure whether four educational practices (active learning, collaboration, diverse ways of learning, and high expectations) are present in the instructor-developed simulation, and the importance of each practice to the learner. Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning, a 13-item instrument designed to measure student satisfaction (five items) with the simulation activity and self-confidence in learning (eight items) using a five-point scale.  Chickering, A.W., & Gamson, A.F., (1987).

A day in the life of a student nurse at LSC-K Hospital… Lone Star College- Kingwood Hospital

 Mission: to deliver safe and prudent quality care while maintaining ethical, professional, and culturally acceptable standards through utilization of evidence-based practice an innovative technology  Vision: to facilitate the growth of the novice learner to the expert clinician, enhancing critical thinking skills and self- confidence in a safe, realistic, and non-threatening environment.
