Our Project

OBJECTIVES:

Simulation provides health care students with opportunities to practice their clinical and decision-making skills through various real-life situational experiences. The project will provide our group of teachers and students with simulation package tools; selected simulation scenarios with real actors to help increase their ability to cope with an increasingly violent healthcare environment and foster a safe environment for patients and staff.

ACTIVITIES:

Nursing and paramedic studies requires complex combinations of knowledge, performance, skills and attitudes to provide care to the patients. Our activities will help in developing self-confidence among students by helping students to make the link between theory and practical and increase their ability to deal with violence. As a result of role playing, it will help in the development of critical thinking by students and teachers (to understand how simulation can help them).

RESULTS:

The project will create a simulation scenarios package for the teachers training  the students.

  • The package will include various simulation scenarios for teachers and students of nursing and paramedic students on an elearning platform,
  • Manual for training the teachers of nursing and paramedic students for simulation education,
  • A train the trainer course for supporting teachers who are responsible for education nursing and paramedic programmes.

Understanding the Benefits of Healthcare Simulation with SimPRENA project

To better understand the advantages of healthcare simulation in preparing nurses and paramedics to deal with and manage workplace violence (WPV), a growing number of institutions and professional associations are publishing on the topic of fostering measures to contain violence perpetrated by patients in healthcare settings. The following resources collectively provide a foundation for understanding …
