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.
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.
