“…Interactive pre-simulation activities such as video simulation case studies and other types of virtual simulations are burgeoning. Future studies should prioritize curricular integration of more interactive presimulation preparatory activities and evaluate the impact on student learning, before in-person simulations or participation in virtual simulations [21][22][23][24][25]. Additionally, more experimental research is required that focuses on the pre-encounter learning aspect as simulations are being used for high stakes assessments and to replace clinical practice time.…”

Background Almost 80% of adolescents do not achieve 60 minutes or more of physical activity each day as recommended by current US national guidelines. There is a need to develop and promote interventions that increase physical activity among adolescents. With increased interest in digital technologies among adolescents, robotic-assisted platforms are a novel and engaging strategy to deliver physical activity interventions. Objective This study sought to assess the potential acceptability of robotic-assisted exercise coaching among diverse youth and to explore demographic factors associated with acceptance. Methods This pilot study used a cross-sectional survey design. We recruited adolescents aged 12-17 years at three community-based sites in Rochester, MN. Written informed consent was obtained from participants’ parents or guardians and participants gave consent. Participants watched a brief demonstration of the robotic system-human interface (ie, robotic human trainer). The exercise coaching was delivered in real time via an iPad tablet placed atop a mobile robotic wheel base and controlled remotely by the coach using an iOS device or computer. Following the demonstration, participants completed a 28-item survey that assessed sociodemographic information, smoking and depression history, weight, and exercise habits; the survey also included the eight-item Technology Acceptance Scale (TAS), a validated instrument used to assess perceived usefulness and ease of use of new technologies. Results A total of 190 adolescents participated in this study. Of the participants, 54.5% were (103/189) male, 42.6% (81/190) were racial minorities, 5.8% (11/190) were Hispanic, and 28.4% (54/190) lived in a lower-income community. Their mean age was 15.0 years (SD 2.0). A total of 24.7% (47/190) of participants met national recommendations for physical activity. Their mean body mass index (BMI) was 21.8 kg/m2 (SD 4.0). Of note, 18.4% (35/190) experienced depression now or in the past. The mean TAS total score was 32.8 (SD 7.8) out of a possible score of 40, indicating high potential receptivity to the technology. No significant associations were detected between TAS score and gender, age, racial minority status, participant neighborhood, BMI, meeting national recommendations for physical activity levels, or depression history (P>.05 for all). Of interest, 67.8% (129/190) of participants agreed that they and their friends were likely to use the robot to help them exercise. Conclusions This preliminary study found that among a racially and socioeconomically diverse group of adolescents, robotic-assisted exercise coaching is likely acceptable. The finding that all demographic groups represented had similarly high receptivity to the robotic human exercise trainer is encouraging for ultimate considerations of intervention scalability and reach among diverse adolescent populations. Next steps will be to evaluate consumer preferences for robotic-assisted exercise coaching (eg, location, duration, supervised or structured, choice of exercise, and/or lifestyle activity focus), develop the treatment protocol, and evaluate feasibility and consumer uptake of the intervention among diverse youth.

“…The opportunities include implementing creative teaching modalities to continue to educate nursing students, both undergraduate and graduate, under conditions of isolation and quarantine. The challenges include access to in-person clinical experiences, technology for both students and faculty within their home environments ( Smart et al, 2020 ; Yancey, 2018 ), quality control of online instructional materials ( Delva et al, 2019 ; Huun, 2018 ; King & Nininger, 2019 ), orientation of students to the online milieu ( Casida & Molen, 2018 ; Delva et al, 2019 ; Richter & Schuessler, 2019 ), and availability of technological and online support for faculty and students ( Casida & Molen, 2018 ; Delva et al, 2019 ; Huun, 2018 ; King & Nininger, 2019 ; Richter & Schuessler, 2019 ; Smart et al, 2020 ; Stanley et al, 2018 ; Yancey, 2018 ).…”

“…Simulations have been effectively utilized in both classroom and online educational environments to foster clinical decision-making skills in nursing students for a wide variety of medical conditions ( Huun, 2018 ; Richter & Schuessler, 2019 ; Stanley et al, 2018 ). Simulation software may be utilized as an effective replacement for traditional clinical experiences ( Huun, 2018 ; Stanley et al, 2018 ). In addition to providing students with a safe environment in which to practice their skills in patient care, VS also allows students to continue their clinical development if clinical experiences are not available or do not provide exposure to caring for persons with delirium ( Huun, 2018 ; Richter & Schuessler, 2019 ; Stanley et al, 2018 ).…”

Background Technology is increasingly used in nursing education, particularly during the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic. COVID-19 also brought new challenges to patient care and limited access to in-person clinical experiences for nursing students. Pivoting to virtual simulation (VS) for clinical was necessary during the height of the pandemic. With students' return to clinical settings, VS experiences continue to be needed, due to quarantine of clinical settings and/or shortage of available clinical sites. VS clinical experiences have been successfully utilized over the past decade; however, the literature lacks resources on the use of VS for delirium care of patients. Method In this article, the authors describe the creation and provision of a VS clinical day using interactive computer-based technology to educate nursing students to prevent, recognize, and manage delirium. The VS clinical was in conjunction with a Behavioral Health course. Results Evaluation of students demonstrated attainment of objectives. Students reported satisfaction with the VS experience. Conclusion Technology in nursing education and use of VS clinical provide effective strategies for clinical learning when in-person clinical experiences are unavailable, either due to access limitations or lack of patients with specific health needs.
