Abstract

Background

Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) are prevalent in the United States, significantly impacting public health and well-being. Despite calls for integrating ACEs education into nursing programs, limited evidence exists on effective methods. This study addresses this gap by employing didactic and simulation-based education to teach baccalaureate nursing students about ACEs and Trauma-Informed Care (TIC).

Methods

This longitudinal quasi-experimental study examined the impact of integrating ACEs education into theory and high-fidelity simulation experiences. Students progressed from foundational ACEs knowledge to advanced topics, engaging with simulated patients.

Results

Significant improvements in ACEs knowledge were observed across various domains, including awareness and prevention, resilience, and informing policy. Self-assessment responses also indicated improved understanding. The study demonstrated the reliability of the survey instrument (Cronbach's alpha = 0.89).

Conclusion

Integrating ACEs education through didactic and simulation approaches in nursing education enhances students' knowledge and understanding of the adverse effects of childhood trauma.

在护理学士学位课程中利用模拟对儿童不良经历知识进行跨学科整合

背景童年不良经历（ACEs）在美国十分普遍，对公众健康和幸福产生了重大影响。尽管人们呼吁将 ACEs 教育纳入护理课程，但有关有效方法的证据却很有限。本研究通过采用说教式和模拟式教育，向护理学士学位学生传授有关 ACEs 和创伤知情护理 (TIC) 的知识，弥补了这一空白。结果在各个领域，包括认识和预防、复原力和政策信息等方面，都观察到了 ACEs 知识的显著提高。自我评估的回答也表明理解能力有所提高。该研究证明了调查工具的可靠性（Cronbach's alpha = 0.89）。结论在护理教育中通过说教和模拟的方式融入 ACEs 教育可增强学生对儿童创伤不良影响的认识和理解。

期刊介绍： Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation. We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria: Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation Leadership for simulation Simulation operations Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
