“…The authors agree that this is of great importance, especially during the Covid-19 pandemic, to minimise infection and health risks. The clinical simulation also provides a safe, professional environment where students are allowed and given an opportunity to learn from their mistakes without causing any harm, hurt or injury on their patients and to themselves (Munroe et al 2016;Amod & Brysiewicz, 2017;So et al 2019). Although clinical simulation has many advantages, the authors are of the view that each simulation should be well designed to ensure new information integrates into students' existing knowledge.…”

“…Simulation provides students with authentic clinical exposure, which is critical in the healthcare field (Goris, Bilgi & Bayındır, 2014). Both Amod and Brysiewicz (2017) and Kapucu (2017) assert that clinical simulation is a powerful strategy to fulfil this goal since the simulation aims to promote the efficiency, effectiveness and the safety of patients. Kapucu (2017) further concurs that during a simulation activity, students are able to learn from their mistakes without causing any harm to patients.…”

Students’ competencies in clinical practice is vital in health sciences. Clinical simulation is one approach used to support students’ learning in clinical practice. There is a lack of research on clinical simulation in acupuncture programmes in the African context. This paper explored the experiences of acupuncture students’ views towards clinical simulation in the acupuncture programme to strengthen clinical teaching using the Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge Framework as a theoretical lens. A qualitative research approach with an interpretivist paradigm was adopted. A single case study design was selected. Six undergraduate students voluntarily agreed to participate. The data were analysed inductively using the thematic analysis approach. Findings revealed that students were optimistic about clinical simulation because it assisted them in their practice. The findings highlighted students’ views regarding the lack of knowledge and skills among instructors and poor infrastructure. The study also found that students gained more confidence in the clinical simulation since they were aware that the patients are not harmed. It is recommended that clinical simulation should be included and standardised in the acupuncture curriculum. To improve clinical simulation, the authors recommended that clinical simulations should be carefully planned and coordinated; training facilities needed upgrading to accommodate COVID-19 regulations and a detailed handbook on clinical simulation should be developed to standardise the simulation process.

“…The purpose of the debriefing was to explore the experiences of student midwives who either role-played or observed the scenario on PPH. This included reflecting on the actions and/or decisions made by themselves or by their peers by identifying gaps related to the actual management of PPH (Amod & Brysiewicz 2017).…”

Background: The need to use innovative teaching and learning strategies in the nursing pedagogy is important in the 21st century. The challenges of clinical sites and opportunities for nursing students to gain clinical experience are a growing concern for many nurse educators. High-fidelity human patient simulators (HFHPS) are computerised mannequins that replicate a real-life patient, and when integrated into classroom teaching they allow students to become fully immersed into an almost real-life scenario.Objectives: The aim of this study was to describe how HFHPS can promote experiential learning following the management of postpartum haemorrhage as a midwifery clinical emergency.Method: A descriptive qualitative research approach was carried out in this study. The research setting was a local university in KwaZulu-Natal. The total population included all (N = 43) fourth-year baccalaureate of nursing undergraduate student midwives who participated as observers and/or role-players of a scenario role-play. An all-inclusive sampling was performed. There were 43 student midwives involved in the simulation teaching session with 6 of these students actively participating in each role-play at a time, while the remaining 37 observed. This occurred in two separate sessions and all the student midwives were involved in a debriefing session. These student midwives were then followed up and asked to participate in a focus group. The data in this article came from two separate focus groups which comprised 20 student midwives in total. Data were analysed using content analysis.Results: Four categories emerged from the data, namely HFHPS offers a unique opportunity for student midwives to manage complex real-life emergencies; promotes reflection by allowing student midwives to reflect or review their roles, decisions and skills; allows student midwives to learn from their own experiences and encourages student midwives to try out what they learnt in a real-life situation.Conclusion: High-fidelity human patient simulators can be used in a complex case scenario to promote experiential learning of a clinical emergency.

“…Four studies analysed the effect of simulation on critical thinking development (Cioffi et al, 2005;Scholes et al, 2012;Lendahls and Oscarsson, 2017;Amod and Brysiewicz, 2017). Contradictory results were found between the studies, with three reporting an increase in critical thinking following the intervention (Cioffi et al, 2005;Lendahls and Oscarsson, 2017;Amod and Brysiewicz, 2017) and one study finding poor application of critical thinking to the simulation scenarios (Scholes et al, 2012). These results may reflect differences in how students were prepared for the activity, complexities of the simulation, and how critical thinking was measured.…”

“…None of the tools used to measure critical thinking were tested for reliability and validity. For two of the studies that reported positive results (Lendahls and Oscarsson, 2017;Amod and Brysiewicz, 2017), there was no explicit evidence of critical thinking within the survey tool used, student quotes, or examples provided. The basis/evidence for this conclusion was unclear.…”
