Health Care Simulation as a Training Tool for Epidemic Management: A Systematic Review.

The objective of this research was to identify and review studies that have evaluated the impact of simulation-based training on health care professionals during epidemics.All studies in health care simulation-based training published during the last 5 epidemics with a global impact (SARS-CoV, H1N1, MERS, Ebola, SARS-CoV-2; through July 2021) were selected from a systematic search of PUBMED, EMBASE, and key journals.The search strategy identified 274 studies; 148 met the inclusion criteria and were included.

Manifesto for healthcare simulation practice.

A pandemic has sent the world into chaos. It has not only upended our lives; hundreds of thousands of lives have already been tragically lost. The global crisis has been disruptive, even a threat, to healthcare simulation, affecting all aspects of operations from education to employment.

Development of a safe drug administration assessment instrument for nursing students.

Objective: to determine the content and face validity of a safe drug administration assessment instrument for nursing students.

Method: quantitative, descriptive study. The literature on medication errors made by students was analyzed, and an instrument was developed using the Architecture of Integrated Information Systems and the Work Breakdown Structure.

[Simulation in medical education: a synopsis].

Clinical simulation is defined as a technique (not a technology) to replace or amplify real experiences with guided experiences that evoke or replicate substantial aspects of the real world in a fully interactive fashion. Over the past few years, there has been a significant growth in its use, both as a learning tool and as an assessment for accreditation. Example of this is the fact that simulation is an integral part of medical education curricula abroad.

Creating simulation communities of practice: an international perspective.

A three-year National League for Nursing grant aimed at faculty development in the use of simulation as a teaching-learning strategy to promote and evaluate student learning outcomes was funded in 2007 by the Laerdal Medical Corporation. The focus of the faculty development project was the creation of nine web-based courses written by nine United States authors with the assistance of eight contributing partners from seven different countries. The process is described from the view of the international participants who worked together with the US experts.
