Abstract

To prepare a nursing workforce qualified to use drones as part of healthcare, a simulation was designed and implemented as a just-in-time learning opportunity for nursing students. Even in the best clinical rotations, it is uncommon for students to be exposed to real-life scenarios that require collaboration and utilization of technologies such as drones. Senior-level baccalaureate students enrolled in a maternal-infant course participated in a high-fidelity simulation in which a drone was utilized to meet the urgent needs of an obstetrical client. In this simulation, a supply chain issue compromises the standard of care for a preterm client. In collaboration with a simulated industry partner, supplies and collected specimens were transported via drone to meet the client’s healthcare needs and standard of practice. As a result of this simulation, students expressed an understanding of the role of technology in healthcare and indicated a level of readiness to collaborate to implement technology-based solutions to enhance healthcare.

利用无人机技术实现一种创新的产科模拟

为了准备一支合格的护理队伍，将无人机作为医疗保健的一部分，设计并实施了模拟，作为护理学生的即时学习机会。即使在最好的临床轮转中，学生也很少接触到需要协作和使用无人机等技术的现实场景。参加母婴课程的高级学士学位学生参加了高保真模拟，其中无人机被用来满足产科客户的紧急需求。在此模拟中，供应链问题损害了早产客户的护理标准。与模拟行业合作伙伴合作，通过无人机运输用品和收集的标本，以满足客户的医疗保健需求和实践标准。通过这次模拟，学生们表达了对技术在医疗保健中的作用的理解，并表示愿意合作实施基于技术的解决方案，以增强医疗保健。

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.
