Abstract
Background
Opioids are a significant contributor to drug overdose deaths globally. Current responses include the use of naloxone to respond to and reverse an overdose, however Zero Overdose Safety Planning can be used as a preventative tool.
Sample
A total of 54 students participated in this virtual simulation: 24 psychiatric nurse practitioners and 30 social workers. Methods: A virtual simulation was implemented and evaluated through the use of student competency assessment tool. Post simulation assessment of student competency was conducted by students, faculty and actors.
Results
Students rated themselves higher than faculty and actors across all competencies.
Conclusions
More in depth education on harm reduction and opportunities for student practice with the overdose safety plan is needed when providing overdose prevention education.
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.
