Published: December 2024

Purpose: The study purpose was to develop and assess a simulation for registered nurses to apply knowledge, skills, and attitudes in conducting a focused assessment in the clinic setting to prevent community-acquired pressure injuries (CAPrIs) in individuals living with spinal cord injury (SCI).

Methods: Development, psychometric assessment, and pilot of a simulation for a nurse-patient clinic appointment to prevent CAPrIs at home. Evaluations were conducted via focus group.

Results: The simulation required one round with five experts in preventing CAPrIs in SCI to reach 80% agreement. The simulation with a standardized patient and companion checklist was piloted with (n = 4) post-baccalaureate registered nurse residents. Evaluation results indicated participants grew in knowledge, skills, and attitudes in conducting a focused assessment on prevention of CAPrIs.

Clinical Relevance: Evidence-based nursing education is needed for CAPrI prevention for individuals living with SCI in the community setting. The simulation is replicable.

Conclusions: The online educational program, simulation, and checklist for nurses promoted knowledge, skills, and attitudes in assessment of CAPrI prevention.

Introduction: Recent health crises, like COVID-19, have increased the need for nurses with public health competencies, but students lack knowledge and are unconvinced of the importance of the field.

Methods: Pre-licensure nursing students (n = 341) engaged with a public health simulation-infused program (PHSIP) that scaffolded throughout the curriculum. Public health knowledge was tested pre- and post-simulation-based education (SBE), and the simulation effectiveness tool-modified (SET-M) was used to evaluate Learners' perception of the SBE experience.
