Psychological Safety in Simulation: Creating a Secure Learning Environment
Psychological safety in simulation-based learning is vital for effective nursing and healthcare education. This synthesis, supported by scientific papers, examines crucial factors such as prebriefing and debriefing, faculty presence, teamwork, and structured simulation design. Addressing fears of evaluation and fostering a supportive environment help learners engage fully and learn from their experiences. Introduction Psychological safetyContinue reading "Home"
Simulation in a competency-based era
This article seeks to explore a new approach to nursing skills acquisition methodology. Practice Observation and Development of Skills Sets (PODSS) is a dedicated physical space designed to facilitate skill acquisition, particularly kinesthetic skills, among nursing students. The aim of this approach is to allow for deliberate practice of skills prior to a simulation soContinue reading "Home"
Using VR in the Health Sciences classroom or lab with a large number of students
Introducing virtual reality (VR) in medical education, specifically with SimX, faces significant challenges. Effective implementation requires preliminary training for both students and faculty to ease the VR learning curve and reduce anxiety. Class size limitations, diverse student backgrounds, and technical issues complicate VR integration. Small groups and dedicated roles enhance engagement, but resource demands remainContinue reading "Home"
