A Pilot Randomized Controlled Study to Determine the Effect of Real-Time Videos With Smart Glass on the Performance of the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of real-time videos with smart glasses on the performance of cardiopulmonary resuscitation performed by nursing students. In this randomized controlled pilot study, the students were randomly assigned to the smart glass group (n = 12) or control group (n = 8). Each student's cardiopulmonary resuscitation performance was evaluated by determining sequential steps in the American Heart Association algorithm they applied and the accuracy and time of each step.

Professional Integrity and Ethical Considerations in Simulation.

As healthcare providers, ethical decisions are woven into the fabric of our profession from bedside care to the use of simulation as an educational pedagogy. Simulation as a method for healthcare education began in response to ethical dilemmas in clinical practice. Educators require an interactive approach to education that will keep patients, learners, and faculty psychologically safe, decrease errors in clinical practice, and engage participants, all of which are inherent in simulation-based experiences.

Evaluating Smart Glasses for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation.

Smart glasses allow care providers to connect to remote experts for consultation and have the potential to improve care. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the user experience with smart glasses in a simulated nursing care environment. We collected data via post-simulation semi-structured interviews and System Usability Scale (SUS) surveys.

Simulation as a Nursing Education Disrupter.

Simulation as an evidence-based pedagogy began emerging at a time when many constraints were being imposed on clinical experiences for nursing students. As research illuminated the advantages of simulation and standards were developed, educators began to recognize the limitations of the clinical setting, such as the inability to provide experiences in teamwork and delegation, and a focus on tasks. Simulations are crafted to provide an experience that matches content that is being taught in class, and debriefing techniques guide learners in a reflective process that promotes the development of clinical reasoning and judgment.

Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment: Nurses Helping Colorado Training Program.

Background: Nurses Helping Colorado was a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration-funded program to train nurses on Screening, Brief Intervention, and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT), a research-based strategy for preventing substance use disorders.

Method: Trainees were 678 undergraduate nursing students and 480 graduate advanced practice nursing students at an academic medical center. Training included classroom lectures, role-play simulation, and supervised practice.
