AI Article Synopsis
- * Experts, including healthcare providers and educators, assessed the simulations through focus groups, identifying key themes for improvement like enhancing realism and addressing stigma.
- * The evaluation confirmed the simulations' content, suggesting they could effectively support educational goals related to understanding and treating OUD as a chronic illness.
Article Abstract
Background: Six high-fidelity simulations were developed to promote empathetic, evidence-based care devoid of stigma for individuals with opioid use disorder (OUD). Study aim was to validate simulation scenario and content for accuracy and clinical relevance.
Method: Simulations were video recorded in August 2022 for content validation. Expert assessment was conducted in September 2022 via focus groups using videoconferencing.
Results: A panel of OUD experts that included healthcare providers (n = 10), who were also nurse educators (n = 5) or family members affected by OUD (n = 1), validated simulation content. Thematic analysis identified themes: (a) strategies for enhancing realism, (b) recognition for diverse patients, (c) additional cueing to generate empathetic responses, (d) refining cueing to focus on stigma, (e) recognizing OUD as a chronic illness, (f) novel approach to standardized patients, and (g) limitations of mannequins.
Conclusion: Evaluation of simulations provided content validation increasing the potential effectiveness of the simulations to achieve desired learning outcomes.
