Identifying Opportunities for Virtual Simulation to Bridge Gaps in Mental Health Nursing Education: A Qualitative Descriptive Study
Background
Worldwide, mental health conditions are undertreated, under-resourced, and widespread. Virtual simulation can enhance nursing student preparation to provide person-centred care for individuals living with mental health conditions. To be meaningful, virtual simulation should be based on a needs assessment.
Methods
This qualitative descriptive study was conducted to identify gaps in mental health nursing education that could be addressed using virtual simulation. Data were collected through an open-ended researcher-constructed online survey. Participants (n = 23) included undergraduate nursing students (n = 10), theory educators (n = 5), clinical educators (n = 4), and others (n = 4).
Results
Four main themes highlighted gaps in 1) approaches to education, 2) holistic philosophies of care, 3) understanding mental health conditions, and 4) foundational skills. Gaps were evident in student preparation to care for and partner with persons living with mental health conditions.
Conclusion
Findings emphasize the need to develop innovative interventions, such as virtual simulations, to strengthen nursing competencies before and after entry into practice.
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.
