Guidelines and Essential Elements for Prebriefing.

Simulationists have reported essential elements that need to be included during prebriefing to establish best practices in simulation and support learner success in simulation. However, there is a gap in the literature; there is a need for synthesis of these reported elements.This article reports the current established prebriefing standards and guidelines.

A Systematic Review of the Use of Standardized Patients as a Simulation Modality in Nursing Education.

Aim: The objective of the study was to search, extract, appraise, and synthesize studies using standardized patients (SPs) in nursing academia to determine how this modality of simulation is being used.

Background: SPs are a common simulation modality used in nursing education.

Method: This review was conducted using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses.

Use of High-Fidelity Simulation to Increase Knowledge and Skills in Caring for Patients Receiving Blood Products.

Simulation has emerged in health care education programs over the past few decades. Acute-care institutions now provide simulation and high-fidelity simulation (HFS) experiences, nurse development, competency training, and evaluation. The International Association for Clinical Simulation and Learning has established best practice guidelines and a framework for multiple skills, such as blood transfusion.
