Vaginal Examination Simulation Using Citrus Fruit to Simulate Cervical Dilation and Effacement

Abstract: This technical report describes the creation and use of a cervical dilation and effacement model in a pre-licensure nursing course in reproductive health. Vaginal examination is typically taught in reproductive health courses; however, nursing students do not always have sufficient opportunity to practice on actual patients. This low-cost task-training model provides undergraduate nursing students the opportunity to experience performing a vaginal examination to assess for cervical dilation and effacement duri… Show more

“…Alternatively, a student could create simulation models using implements at home. Several do-it-yourself simulation kits have been proposed to educate students on topics ranging from cervical exams in labor [ 21 ] to performing hemorrhoidectomy [ 22 ] using household items. Students choosing to pursue such instructional methods would be remarkable for high levels of motivation.…”

“…A produção de simuladores artesanais é menos estudada, embora existam diversos exemplos deles (KNOBEL et al, 2018b;GRAHEM et al, 2017;RAMSEYER;LUTGENDORF, 2019;SHEA;ROVERA, 2015;PESSOA, 2011). Destaca-se que simulação de baixo custo e simuladores artesanais não são, necessariamente, sinônimos.…”
