Simulation Innovation to Redesign the Baccalaureate Curriculum to Address Population Health

Abstract

Prelicensure nursing curricula need to be redesigned to integrate and achieve key population health competencies. Nursing students in generic and second-degree programs had improved learning outcomes and significant increases in population health competencies across the curriculum using simulation-based learning activities developed through an academic-practice partnership. Simulation is an effective, interactive strategy that enhances student knowledge, skills, and competencies in addressing population health.

Cultural Simulations, Authenticity, Focus, and Outcomes: A Systematic Review of the Healthcare Literature

“…Simulated participants (SP's) including on-line formats ( Min-Yu Lau et al, 2016 ;Weideman et al, 2016 ) was the most frequently reported SBL modality (n = 13/43%). High-fidelity manikin-based SBL was used in seven studies (23%), as either the sole modality or in conjunction with video vignettes/recorded SP encounters ( Fioravanti et al, 2018 ;Harder, 2018 ;Mauro et al, 2018 ) or student/faculty roleplay ( Garrido et al, 2016 ;Grossman et al, 2012 ).…”

“…Others involved a Somalian cultural-broker who shared personal insights into female genital mutilation/cutting ( Jacoby & Smith, 2013 ) and community agency representatives in an established table-top poverty simulation ( Yang et al, 2014 ). While the extent of involvement was largely unclear, studies also referred to scenario cocreation in conjunction with culturally diverse SP's ( Min-Yu Lau et al, 2016 ;Ndiwane et al, 2014 ;Weideman et al, 2016 ) or students ( Garrido et al, 2014 ), while some utilized external consultants ( Mauro et al, 2018 ) or education/simulation experts ( Byrne, 2020 ;Fioravanti et al, 2018 ;Lin & Hsu, 2020 ;Maruca et al, 2018 ) in the development and/or review of scenarios.…”

“…JID: ECSN [mECSN;June 20, 2022;14:15 ] participants indicated that 70% of all planned behavioral changes had been implemented in practice. Two other multicomponent interventions incorporated unfolding case studies which highlighted how socio-cultural dimensions influence perinatal care ( Weideman et al, 2016 ) and chronic disease management ( Mauro et al, 2018 ). Recorded SP encounters were supplemented with virtual patient discussion boards with a significant increase in students' transcultural self-efficacy ( Weideman et al, 2016 ), and high-fidelity simulation with a significant increase in overall IAPCC (student version), but not on all related subscales ( Mauro et al, 2018 ).…”

The Impact of High Fidelity Patient Simulation on the Level of Knowledge and Critical Thinking Skills in Code Blue Management Among Undergraduate Nursing Students in Malaysia

“…HFPS simulates realistic clinical situations (Adamson, 2015; Cant & Cooper, 2017; Jeffries, 2012) and prepares students for clinical tasks with no risk to the safety of actual patients as opposed to low fidelity patient manikins (LFPM) (Adamson, 2015; K. S. Dunn, 2017; Jeffries, 2012; Kaddoura et al, 2016; Mauro et al, 2017; Richardson & Claman, 2014).…”
