Abstract
Background
The Simulation Tool to Enhance Psychological Safety (STEPS) cube is a novel visual aid that has demonstrated it can foster a psychologically safer learning environment in simulation-based activities. This article details enhancements made to STEPS based on feedback from simulation educational experts.
Method
Eighty-one simulation educators completed a post-survey.
Results
Feedback was postive for STEPS' representation of psychological safety constructs.
Conclusion
Leveraging the expertise of simulation educators, the revised tool, STEPS 2.0, aims to add to the body of evidence to improve psychological safety in simulation-based learning environments
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.
