Background
This study aimed to examine changes in self-efficacy and communication of nursing, occupational therapy, and speech-language pathology students through participation in an interprofessional patient simulation. Methods: Twenty-two occupational therapy graduate students, 16 speech-language-pathology graduate students, and 25 undergraduate nursing students participated. Participants completed the Self-Efficacy for Interprofessional Experiential Learning (SE-12), the Interprofessional Collaboration Scale (ICS) pre and post simulation, and an open-ended post-simulation questionnaire on self-perceived stress levels.
Results
Each discipline group demonstrated significant changes in perceived self-efficacy (p < .001) and communication (p < .001). Analysis of the open-ended questions revealed a consistent pattern in reducing stress levels from before the simulation to the post-simulation assessment.
Conclusion
Incorporating interprofessional patient simulation experiences into pre-professional health programs significantly enhances interprofessional communication skills and self-efficacy and reduces self-reported stress, serving as a valuable tool for preparing students to collaborate effectively in interdisciplinary teams to provide high-quality patient care.

Background
Houselessness, characterized by a lack of fixed and adequate nighttime residence, presents humanitarian and public health challenges. Health and houselessness are intricately connected, with houselessness exacerbating health issues and reducing life expectancy. Interprofessional education (IPE) is crucial in preparing healthcare professionals to address the unique needs of this population.
Methods
The Houseless Simulation Exercise (HSE) was designed as an innovative IPE activity to cultivate awareness, empathy, and skills for caring for houseless individuals. Informed by game-based learning theory, it integrates elements such as visual design, narrative, and collaboration. It comprises a choose-your-adventure style simulation and an interprofessional discussion on care and policy innovation.
Results
The HSE ran for two years and involved 359 students. Participants reported positive experiences, improvements in interprofessional core competency domains, and awareness of challenges. Qualitative feedback highlighted the impact on individuals.
Conclusion
The HSE offers a dynamic approach to IPE, fostering awareness, empathy, and collaboration among healthcare professionals. The HSE exemplifies the potential of innovative educational strategies in addressing complex healthcare challenges related to houselessness.

Training health care professionals to mitigate implicit biases can reduce health inequities caused by racism. Implicit bias mitigation strategies (IBMS) have been shown to reduce biased behaviors. This study aimed to determine the impact of IBMS practice simulation on learners’ behaviors and family experience in one hospital unit.
Methods
This study used a quasi-experimental design in a large pediatric hospital. In total, 195 participants completed a simulation-based education intervention. Learners practiced IBMS with Simulated Participants. Participant perceptions were measured at four time points, and translational outcomes were collected using survey results and other outcomes.
Results
Situational judgment test results improved postintervention and at follow-up. Participants reported using IBMS skills at time points three and four. Internal and External Motivation Scale and family satisfaction scores remained unchanged. Family experience measures improved, showing decreases in security dispatch calls for perceived family escalation and in deny entries and behavioral contracts stratified by race.
Conclusions
Simulation can shift perspectives and behaviors. More research is needed on the impact of simulation-based interventions on IBMS skill development and translational outcomes.

Background
There has been growing interest in the development of mental health-related simulation packages for pre-registration mental health nursing education. The authors will present the creation of a simulation package created for pre-registration mental health nurses during their final year.
Method
The simulated experience consisted of a five-minute Virtual Reality (VR) recording which shares the experience of living with symptoms of psychoses. The package, not only looked at the hearing of voices, but in addition enhances the user's experience by simulating visual perception and placing the student within a secluded environment. This was delivered to students in their final six months of the program.
Results
Students noted the increase in empathy for patients experiencing these symptoms and how it would enhance the care they gave.
Conclusion
The results of this innovation demonstrate how virtual reality (VR) could be used to standardize student nurses' education in the field of mental health.

Workplace violence and aggression toward healthcare professionals are concerning trends in the industry, with increasing incidents over the last decade. The COVID-19 pandemic put additional stress on health systems, healthcare workers, patients, and family members. These additional stressors resulted in increased aggressive behaviors. Education and training on de-escalation techniques is paramount to increased safety of health professionals and patients. Nursing education programs and hospital orientation programs often lack de-escalation training.
Methods
From January to October 2023, 102 nurses participated in a de-escalation simulation encounter. Quantitative and qualitative data was captured via Redcap survey. Facilitators tracked behaviors of the simulated patients and reactions of the nurses, in real-time, using a survey designed by the education team. Participants completed a post-survey which elicited information about prior de-escalation training and application of skills learned during the de-escalation simulation encounter to future practice.
Results
Sixty-five percent of new graduate nurses revealed that they had some form of de-escalation training most of which was provided through a lecture (36%) or online module (19%). Following participation in the simulation encounter, 98.5% of participants felt better prepared to manage an escalating patient/family member situation. Structured debriefings identified educational gaps regarding hospital resources, behavioral strategies for averting escalating incidents, methods for maintaining safety, and discreetly seeking assistance.
Conclusion
The simulated patient training offered participants an opportunity to apply de-escalation techniques in a safe environment. Targeted de-escalation training using simulated patients increased the authenticity and realism of the immersive experience and resulted in enhanced de-escalation skill development in new hire nurses.

Background
Clinical reasoning and effective communication are foundational to patient outcomes, and therefore, key concepts in nursing education. There is a growing body of evidence to support virtual patient simulation in nursing and other health professions, but to date none that focuses specifically on whether virtual simulation impacts clinical reasoning in on-campus baccalaureate nursing health assessment courses.
Sample
First semester prelicensure baccalaureate nursing students.
Methods
A quantitative, quasi-experimental design with a pre-test post-test methodology grounded in Experiential Learning Theory was used. The Student Performance Index score measured clinical reasoning and simulation software automatically calculated communication variables.
Results
In the sample of 19 students, a two-tailed paired samples t-test found statistically significant improved outcomes for most variables.
Conclusion
Virtual patient simulation positively impacts clinical reasoning and communication skills and is an appropriate pedagogical tool for nurse educators.
背景临床推理和有效沟通是患者治疗效果的基础,因此也是护理教育的关键概念。有越来越多的证据支持在护理和其他健康专业中进行虚拟病人模拟,但迄今为止,还没有任何证据专门研究虚拟模拟是否会影响校内学士学位护理健康评估课程中的临床推理。方法采用定量、准实验设计和基于体验学习理论的前测后测方法。结果在 19 名学生的样本中,通过双尾配对样本 t 检验发现大多数变量的结果都有显著的统计学改善。结论虚拟病人模拟对临床推理和沟通技能有积极影响,是护士教育者的合适教学工具。

Background
This article examines an interdisciplinary team's collaboration experience in the development of a virtual reality (VR) training platform for postpartum hemorrhage management. The project started during the COVID-19 pandemic to support remote training in nursing.
Methods & Processes
Comprised of multidisciplinary specialists, the team collaborated through virtual meetings and digital tools such as an online whiteboard. The project went through three processes: (a) initial process, in which the team established the mutual goal, determined the targeted training, understood the subject matter, and created the framework; (b) VR development process, in which members contributed their expertise to map the task flow, create 3D objects, and develop the VR prototype; and (c) evaluation process, in which tests were performed among team members, subject matter experts, and undergraduate nursing students, to gain insights and fix problems.
Conclusion
Lessons learned from this interdisciplinary collaboration include the accommodation of different objectives, workload expectations and distribution, changes of team members, and evaluation implementation.

Simulation provides learners with a realistic learning environment where they experience real-life situations. Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is performed to maintain respiration and circulation. Nursing students may experience CPR unexpectedly. Simulation types are increasing in line with the needs of nursing education. The study aims to compare the effects of haptic virtual simulations (HVS) versus high-fidelity simulations (HFS) in CPR training of nursing students on their knowledge, skills, satisfaction, and self-confidence levels.
Methods
The study sample consisted of 60 students, 30 in the HVS group and 30 in the HFS group. The same scenario was used in both simulations. Data were collected with the Sociodemographic Data Form, the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Knowledge Test, the Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Skills Checklist, and the Student Satisfaction and Self Confidence in Learning Scale.
Results
The CPR knowledge level of both groups increased significantly after the simulation (p < 0.05). No significant difference was found between the practice skill levels between the groups (p > 0.05). The satisfaction and self-confidence levels of the students in HFS group were significantly higher than in HVS group (p < 0.05).
Conclusions
Haptic virtual and high fidelity CPR training simulations equally affect students' knowledge and skill levels. On the other hand, students' satisfaction and self-confidence levels in learning increased more with high-fidelity simulators.
