Introduction Transgender and gender non-binary (TGNB) patient care is not routinely taught in medical training. As a result, clinicians frequently lack knowledge regarding gender-affirming practices, surgeries and medications. TGNB-specific health knowledge and care delivery are further negatively impacted by pervasive societal transphobia. Virtual reality (VR)-based instruction may provide learners with opportunities for perspective taking, empathy building and attitudinal shifting to improve care delivery to TGNB patients. Methods This was a feasibility trial that compared passive VR and webinar in changing learner attitudes, knowledge and medical decision-making (MDM). Residents were recruited from five US emergency medicine (EM) residencies and were randomized to either VR or webinar educational intervention arm. Pre- and post-intervention assessments were matched using a unique identifier. Participants provided feedback about platform usability. Results From August 2020 to October 2021, 206 resident participants were randomized into a case-based VR experience or webinar intervention on TGNB-specific EM medicine; 52 residents completed all three steps of the study. Webinar participants demonstrated more changes in attitudinal statements than VR participants. No improvements in knowledge or MDM were appreciated in either intervention arm. Participants in both arms shared positive and critical feedback about the intervention they accessed, with convenience and ease of use being valued for asynchronous webinar learning. Discussion The webinar arm demonstrated a higher increase in empathy or change in attitude compared to VR learners. As VR becomes more technologically agile, accessible and reliable, more work is needed to see if this novel format is an educational tool that closely approximates the standardized patient encounter.

Background: Development of the undergraduate simulation experience is needed to continue developing aspiring clinicians’ ability to assess and manage unwell patients. However, its heavy resource demand and ‘Generation Z’s’ desire for technologically enhanced learning means novel simulation modalities must now be considered. Mixed reality (MR) provides a platform to deliver such simulation; however, it is yet to be studied in this context. We conducted an observational cohort study with the aim to assess ift MR simulation improves students’ perceived ability to assess and manage unwell patients. Methods: We recruited 32 undergraduate medical students and asked them to rate their ability to assess and manage acutely unwell patients, out of 10. An MR simulation was then delivered using the Microsoft HoloLens and HoloScenario software produced by GigXR. Students then rated their assessment and management ability again, alongside their experience of the system and its usability. Data analysis used paired t-tests to assess for significant differences. Results: By attending the simulation, students showed a significant improvement in perceived ability to assess (p < 0.001) and manage (p < 0.001) acutely unwell patients. Mean assessment scores improved by 1.09/10 (95% confidence interval [CI 0.67, 1.52]) with 89% of students feeling more confident. Mean management scores improved by 1.63/10 (95% CI [1.15, 2.10]) with 84% of students reporting increased confidence levels. When considering usability, 69% of students did not find the MR system easy to use, with 75% of students having technical issues and 38% experiencing side effects. Overall, 88% of students believed the experience was beneficial to their learning. Conclusions: MR shows promise in its ability to deliver simulation training and improve students’ perceived ability to assess and manage unwell patients. Advances in software availability and content are required for integration into undergraduate medical curricula. Further research is required to assess if these results are replicated objectively.

Background High-fidelity medical simulations can help students successfully navigate the stressors of medical training and practice. Because sufficiently high stress levels can interfere with learning, the balance of stress and resilience factors during simulation training should be carefully curated. However, student experiences of stress and resilience during high-fidelity simulations are seldom well characterized, especially in military medical training. With this in mind, the authors investigated students’ lived experiences of stress and resilience during a well-established high-fidelity simulation at a military medical school. Methods Fourth-year active-duty military medical students (n = 23) from the United States Air Force, Army, and Navy who were attending Operation Bushmaster – a 5-day, high-fidelity military medical simulation – were interviewed during and after the simulation. Data were analyzed via a hermeneutic phenomenological qualitative approach. Another 21 students reported their stress levels and trait mindfulness. Experts rated their performance at Operation Bushmaster. Results Participant narratives pointed towards major internal stressors, including chronic uncertainty and fluctuating motivation, and external stressors, such as weather and equipment-related challenges. Narratives also identified multiple factors that mitigated stress, including the use of mindfulness skills (especially mindful/tactical breathing), giving/receiving social support, shifting perspectives to centre connections between Operation Bushmaster and students’ professional purpose, and positive self-talk that gave participants permission to make mistakes and learn from them. There was a moderate positive correlation between mindfulness and performance at Operation Bushmaster. Conclusions These stress and resilience factors are critical leverage points for educators seeking to optimize learning during Operation Bushmaster and other high-fidelity simulation trainings. Future research should continue to examine how the balance of these factors impacts medical students’ immediate learning (e.g. regarding medical decision-making, skill and leadership) and longer-term ability to successfully navigate the stressors of the medical profession.

This paper detailed the translation process of the Healthcare Simulationist Code of Ethics from English to Urdu, Pakistan’s national language, addressing the need for healthcare simulation in the country’s native language. Pakistan, a lower–middle-income country, faces challenges accessing healthcare education in Urdu. The systematic translation by bilingual simulation and social sciences experts considered linguistic and cultural nuances by combining translation by committee and back-translation of selected text. Bilingual experts in linguistic research and healthcare practice verified this translation from healthcare, healthcare simulation and linguistics perspectives. This research contributes to the theoretical understanding of ethical values in healthcare simulation, positively influencing healthcare professionals and educators in Pakistan. The translation sought to enhance access to responsible healthcare training initiatives, specifically targeting remote regions and underserved rural communities. This includes health workers, who serve as the primary conduits for health-related initiatives in these areas.

Background Healthcare disparities within developed nations remain a critical concern, with ethnic minorities and marginalized groups experiencing pronounced inequalities. Cultural humility has emerged as a means to mitigate these disparities and enhance healthcare delivery. Simulation-based education is one of the most widely utilized pedagogical approaches in healthcare curricula across disciplines and specialities. It is recommended in the literature as an ideal strategy for teaching cultural humility to healthcare professionals. However, it is not clear what is known about integrating cultural humility into simulation-based education. This scoping review protocol provides the procedures we will take to explore the breadth of literature to explore how cultural humility is considered and incorporated in simulation-based and to identify current practices and knowledge gaps. Methods and analysis The review will synthesize data following the PRISMA-ScR guidelines for scoping reviews. A comprehensive database (MEDLINE, CINAHL Plus with Full Text, APA PsycINFO and Scopus), grey literature and reference screening will be conducted to identify eligible literature to answer the research question. The quality of the included literature and the risk of bias will be carried out using The Mixed Method Appraisal Tool (MMAT) for primary research papers and the ACCODS (Authority, Accuracy, Coverage, Objectivity, Date, Significance) checklist will be used to assess the quality of grey literature. The data will be analysed using descriptive statistics and basic qualitative content analysis.

Evolving evaluation methods and the changing pedagogical landscape of nursing education offer the opportunity to re-examine learning spaces in simulation. Psychological safety is an established standard within simulation-based experiences; however, limiting learning spaces exclusively within the construct of safety competes with shifting pedagogical practices in simulation within pre-licensure nursing programmes. Conflations of safety and comfort are pervasive in higher education. Shifting language from a place of safety towards one of courage and bravery holds the potential to better promote learning environments which foster agency and meaningful growth when discomfort is experienced. Brave learning spaces recognize discomfort and vulnerability as an essential component of learning and transformation, while also aligning with key principles of psychological safety to optimize learning experiences. Discourse exploring alternatives to safe learning spaces in simulation is notably absent in the current nursing simulation literature propelling the need for this discussion.

The ASPiH Standards 2023 provide a common framework within educational and healthcare sectors, bolstering quality assurance for simulation providers, regulators, professional bodies and commissioners. They endeavour to meet the current needs of simulation practitioners and learners, reflect the evolution of simulation practice, and account for emerging technologies. Therefore, they are applicable to any modality of simulation-based education and training as well as to translational and transformative simulation interventions, including the use of simulation for quality improvement processes, whether carried out at education centres, simulation facilities or at the point of care. The standards encourage adherence to core values of safety, equity, diversity and inclusion, sustainability, and excellence. They provide guidance for all simulation practitioners, highlighting key principles for planning, facilitation and evaluation of simulation activities, as well as recommendations for optimum resource management. Implementation of these standards will require consideration of how they apply to each individual context, and what outcome measures are most meaningful to demonstrate alignment.

Background The need for interprofessional education (IPE) has been recognized on the basis of compromised patient care due to ineffective communication and teamwork among healthcare providers. Using Simulation to enhance IPE has been advocated to achieve the competencies required for effective interprofessional collaborative practice. However, the implementation of this powerful tool and its integration into Indian medical education are a relatively recent development, gradually gaining momentum in recent years. Purpose This study was undertaken to assess the attitudes and perceptions of a group of Indian medical and nursing undergraduates and faculty towards simulation-enhanced interprofessional education (Sim-IPE) before introducing this module at the institute. Methods A descriptive correlational design was conducted using the KidSIMTM ATTITUDES scale on a convenient sample of 82 students and faculty of medical and nursing colleges. Results The total scores for the 30-item questionnaire revealed an overall positive attitude towards IPE and Simulation as a learning modality. Analysis of variance tests revealed lesser scores for students when compared to faculty. Conclusions A positive attitude towards Sim-IPE by students and faculty is promising, and it is the first step towards integrating Sim-IPE into the undergraduate curriculum in India.
