This article explains one university’s initiative, the Patient as Coach Team (PaCT), and presents evaluation results from phase 1. The PaCT strategy involved a service user-led session with student nurses, in small groups, sharing experiences of care from a service user perspective. Aim Our aim was to evaluate nursing students’ views of the PaCT session, involving service users in their teaching and learning. Design Survey. Method Structured questionnaires with a free-text box were completed by student nurses (n = 321). Structured question responses were analysed manually and free-text data thematically. Data collection took place from June 2016 to June 2017. Results There were very positive responses to the survey questions, with students perceiving a positive impact on their learning. Five themes emerged from the students’ free-text responses: ‘Usefulness of the session’, ‘Seeing patients’ perspectives’, ‘Inspiring and motivating session’, ‘Good discussions with patient coach’ and ‘Overall views about the PaCT session’. Conclusion The PaCT session provides a valid learning strategy, utilising coaching as a technique to enable student nurses to learn from service users’ experiences and perspectives of care. In addition, it contributes to students’ reflective practice about their individual professional practice in care settings.","PeriodicalId":171309,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research in nursing : JRN","volume":" ","pages":"183-194"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1744987119837594","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39315118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The paper presents a useful addition to the literature by focusing on how the participants perceived learning non-technical skills via engagement with the web-based (VSPR) Virtual Simulated Patient Resource (www.vspr.net.au). Often literature on simulation focuses on the development of skills and the impact of simulation on patient safety. The use of virtual patients is novel to clinical simulation education; as a result, any addition to the body of literature will go some way in enhancing our understanding of the effectiveness of this relatively new teaching activity. It is generally accepted that virtual simulation is effective in the development of non-technical skills (Walker et al., 2013), which are the cognitive and social elements (teamwork, leadership, communication, decision making, situational awareness, etc.) one develops or employs to complement technical skills. They effectively contribute towards the patient safety and the effective performance of tasks (Carvalho, 2016). The paper is a qualitative, descriptive exploratory survey conducted immediately after a participant had engaged with the virtual simulation activity. There were a few negatives in the data collection phase, where, for instance, a participant could take the survey as many times as they liked with each response being logged separately; thus, there is no way of knowing exactly how many students responded. It is also unknown whether participants completed the virtual simulation scenarios individually or in groups. There was also an inability to match participants’ previous experience to their responses, hence it was difficult for the researchers to determine which experiences were from novice learners and which were from the experienced participants. Having answers to these points would have been a crucial addition to this paper. However, the researchers noted these limitations in their paper and have argued that they had to maintain anonymity of participants. They also","PeriodicalId":171309,"journal":{"name":"Journal of research in nursing : JRN","volume":" ","pages":"181-182"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2019-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1177/1744987119838641","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"39315117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This is vital to ensure that services and research studies reflect the experiences and preferences of patients and their families. As a preregistration student nurse, the sessions I remember most keenly are those that evolved around the experiences of patients and their families, particularly when patients participated in classroom sessions. This interesting paper evaluates an initiative at a UK university, where service users were involved in teaching undergraduate nursing students, using a coaching approach. Their Patient as Coach Team (PaCT) sessions focused on the English Department of Health’s 6 Cs (2012), with service users leading a discussion around their experience of healthcare. The evaluation involved a structured survey completed by 321 student nurses, with 170 respondents also completing free-text comment boxes. While this study was single-centre, there was a large sample and both quantitative and qualitative data were collected. The evaluation identified that students felt overwhelmingly positive about the PaCT initiative, with 98% of students reporting satisfaction with the sessions. Crucially, 99% of students either agreed or strongly agreed that they would apply their learning to their future practice, although whether students went on to do so is not included in the paper.

However, some evidence points to organisational factors such as heavy workload and quality of management as playing a more significant part in work stress than client-related issues (Gibb et al., 2010). As more attention is now being paid to retaining our health and care workforce, more research is needed on the experiences of those entering these professions. Supporting trainees to address stress in clinical practice placements and finding out what helps them build and sustain resilience should be priorities. The reviewed study is therefore extremely welcome, as it weaves together two very important strands: the narrative of the students’ experiences and the use of art to explore and process them. As the author shows, as a student it is often difficult to find one’s voice in stressful situations, as fears of being judged unsuitable or incompetent sometimes override the need to ask for help and support. The stories of the students illustrate this beautifully and show how the use of images helped in the telling. As an art therapist, I have witnessed many times how images reflected their true thoughts and feelings to their makers.
