Upload by Liam

Webinar slides for a panel discussion on using simulation in palliative care nursing education, addressing how to design, implement, and evaluate high-quality simulations. The program defines critical design elements such as objectives, fidelity, complexity, cues, and structured debriefing, and aligns practices with recognized frameworks and standards. It also surveys primary palliative care and end-of-life simulations across the United States and considers using simulation to assess and build student competence, with references to NLN/Jeffries Simulation Theory and INACSL Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice.

FAQs

What are the objectives of this webinar on simulation in palliative care nursing education?

The webinar aims to describe essential elements of high-quality simulation and resources, explore palliative and end-of-life simulations used across the United States, and consider how such simulation can evaluate student competence.

Which critical design characteristics are emphasized for high-quality nursing simulation?

Key design characteristics include objectives, fidelity, complexity, cues, and a structured debriefing process.

How do recommended standards and frameworks guide simulation design and evaluation?

The slides reference NLN/Jeffries Simulation Theory and INACSL Healthcare Simulation Standards of Best Practice, covering areas such as simulation design, facilitation, prebriefing, operations, professional integrity, and evaluation of learning and performance.
