However, evidence informing their use is scarce, particularly regarding outcomes assessing user experience and knowledge acquisition, and experimental studies comparing different approaches to virtual simulation. Therefore, this study compared immersive virtual reality (VR) simulation to computerized virtual patient (VP) simulation measuring their effect on knowledge acquisition and retention, as well as user experience, in fifth-year medical students. This pilot study, of a randomized crossover design, comprised 18 participants independently completing an immersive VR simulation and a computerized VP simulation. All participants completed the same two scenarios and received an induction to both modalities. Multiple-choice questions were employed to assess knowledge acquisition and retention, with participants completing the questions immediately before and after the simulation and following a 12-week interval. User experience questionnaires were completed after the simulation, utilizing both Likert scale and open-ended questions. Statistical analysis comprised a Student’s Both interventions achieved statistically significant levels of knowledge acquisition and retention. However, VR simulation achieved higher levels of acquisition (2.11; 95% CI = 0.89, 3.32, The findings indicated that both interventions are effective and acceptable educational tools. However, learning does not appear to be uniform across different virtual simulators, with participants achieving higher levels of learning following immersive VR simulation. Moreover, participants reacted significantly more positively to VR simulation, though potential applications were identified for both interventions. This study highlights the importance of an evidence-based approach to the implementation of novel simulation technologies. The findings contribute to an underexplored area of the literature and offer a step towards enabling medical educators to make an informed decision regarding the application of virtual simulation in their context.","PeriodicalId":93766,"journal":{"name":"International journal of healthcare simulation : advances in theory and practice","volume":"117 17","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134957597","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This scoping review encompassed the existing literature on simulation in nursing education, specifically focusing on prebriefing strategies. The existing literature revealed variations in the contexts, educational concepts, prebriefing pedagogy and outcome measures employed in simulation-based experiences. None of the studies established a correlation between dependent variables and prebriefing pedagogy strategies. Instead, most studies utilized a combination of dependent variables to measure the correlated aspects of prebriefing, namely personal development and engagement. The recognized prebriefing strategies serve as valuable resources for nurse educators when designing the prebriefing phase of a simulation-based experience.","PeriodicalId":93766,"journal":{"name":"International journal of healthcare simulation : advances in theory and practice","volume":"40 S185","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135342086","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Simulation training is also a solution to logistical constraints around clinical placement time and is likely to expand in the future. Large language models, most specifically ChatGPT, are stirring debate about the nature of work, knowledge and human relationships with technology. For simulation, ChatGPT may present a solution to help expand the use of simulation by saving time and costs for simulation development. To understand if ChatGPT can be used to write health care simulations effectively and efficiently, simulations written by a subject matter expert (SME) not using ChatGPT and a non-SME writer using ChatGPT were compared. Simulations generated by each group were submitted to a blinded Expert Review. Simulations were evaluated holistically for preference, overall quality, flaws and time to produce. The SME simulations were selected more frequently for implementation and were of higher quality, though the quality for multiple simulations was comparable. Preferences and flaws were identified for each set of simulations. The SME simulations tended to be preferred based on technical accuracy while the structure and flow of the ChatGPT simulations were preferred. Using ChatGPT, it was possible to write simulations substantially faster. Health Profession Educators can make use of ChatGPT to write simulations faster and potentially create better simulations. More high-quality simulations produced in a shorter amount of time can lead to time and cost savings while expanding the use of simulation.","PeriodicalId":93766,"journal":{"name":"International journal of healthcare simulation : advances in theory and practice","volume":"51 2","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135221368","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The use of ultrasound can improve success in PIV access, benefitting patient experience. Medical professionals are increasingly expected to use ultrasound when landmark techniques fail [1]. We sought to improve confidence using ultrasound for PIV cannulation with low-cost simulation models made from ADAMgel [2] or tofu in multiple teaching sessions. We organized teaching sessions with multiple specialties at St Richard’s Hospital. A total of 48 members of staff have been taught over four sessions. Prior to the teaching session learners were asked to complete a survey identifying previous ultrasound experience and rating confidence using ultrasound for PIV access. The teaching session consisted of an introductory multimedia presentation with a video demonstration, then practical experience. Models consisted of water-filled balloons placed in ADAMgel (Aqueous Dietary Fibre Antifreeze Mix gel) or tofu to simulate human tissue and veins, Models used to deliver teaching sessions. After ADAMgel became available this has been used exclusively due to it being more reusable compared to the tofu modelsA: tofu model with ultrasound image underneath.B: ADAMgel model with ultrasound image underneath The initial survey identified only 29% of staff had previously used ultrasound for PIV access, and half of these (15% overall) had only used it once or twice a year. Using a five-point Likert scale, 74% of respondents rated their confidence in using ultrasound as one or two out of five. All respondents thought they would benefit from further teaching in PIV access. Feedback after teaching sessions was favourable, with 95% of respondents finding the session very useful and 95% also believing it would increase their use of ultrasound in clinical practice. After the session, more than half rated their confidence in ultrasound cannulation as four or five out of five. We have demonstrated that there is a desire from medical staff to increase their competency in ultrasound-guided PIV cannulation. Using low-cost, high-fidelity simulation models with a blended learning method, we can deliver teaching sessions to a large number of medical staff. We hope to continue this teaching in collaboration with our sister sites throughout Sussex to increase confidence with ultrasound-guided PIV cannulation in this region.

Over a period of 6 months, different learner sets were involved in the same simulation exercise with 2 further iterative modifications. The 5 teams have generated a total of 15 hours of simulation sessions using standard pre-briefing, debriefing, and evidence-based simulation techniques. The level of independent facilitation and mentoring by more advanced debriefers has been adjusted to fit the individual pace of experiential learning. To further enhance the embedded faculty development a total of 270 minutes of online discussion, reflections, and 15 topics were presented by the facilitators to create a multi-professional learning experience. The content was structured to reflect the national outcome’s framework for faculty development and the ASPIH standards guidance for simulation-based education. The recorded simulation sessions, debriefing, and topic discussions have generated a useful asynchronous online reference for the current and future cohorts.

The use of virtual patient simulations has been shown in literature to increase interest as well as provide opportunities to practice clinical reasoning [1]. Opportunities to develop clinical reasoning are of notable importance in undergraduate pharmacy education currently owing to ongoing changes in pharmacy education, where newly qualified pharmacists will be annotated as independent prescribers from 2026 [2]. Evidence on the extent to which views on the perceived uses and benefits of virtual simulation align between different user groups is limited. In a UK university, a programme of virtual simulation has been utilized since 2020 as a part of the undergraduate pharmacy curriculum. A mixed-methods study was run which aimed to evaluate the alignment of views of students, faculty and stakeholders (who were individuals involved in the design or implementation of virtual simulation products) on the potential uses, intended learning outcomes, and perceived benefits and weaknesses of virtual simulation. Following approval by the school research ethics committee, an electronic questionnaire was sent to final-year undergraduate pharmacy students who had experienced a programme of virtual simulation including a mixture of qualitative and quantitative questions relating to student perceptions of the use of virtual simulation in the curriculum. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with faculty members and stakeholders exploring their views on virtual simulation. Quantitative data were analysed by simple descriptive statistics, and a critical review of free-text responses was performed through grounded theory to identify emergent key themes. A total of 25 responses to student questionnaires were received. A total of seven interviews were performed, including three members of academic staff familiar with virtual simulation and four stakeholders responsible for the design or implementation of virtual simulation products. Students most commonly believed that virtual simulation could benefit their development of consultation skills, clinical history taking and physical assessment. Significant alignment between the perceptions of stakeholders and students on the uses and benefits of virtual simulation was demonstrated, but faculty members articulated a more limited list of perceived uses and benefits.
