A simulated microaggression session for pre-registration nursing students.

Abstract

This article explores the development and implementation of a simulated microaggression training session for second-year nursing students as part of their preparation for clinical practice. The simulation, based on real-world student feedback, aimed to provide experiential learning opportunities for recognising and addressing microaggressions, focusing on race and age as marginalised groups. Although the simulation was a meaningful step toward addressing microaggressions in healthcare, the findings suggest the need for more comprehensive, structured training to better equip nursing students for real-world clinical interactions.
