Abstract

Objective: Engaging presimulation activities are needed to better prepare undergraduate nursing students to participate in clinical simulations.Methods: Design: We created a series of virtual simulation games (VSGs) to enhance presimulation preparation. This involved creating learning outcomes, assessment rubrics, decision point maps with rationale, and filming scripts. Setting: This was a multi-site project involving four universities across Ontario, Canada. Participants: Games were to be embedded within undergraduate nursing courses and used as presimulation preparation before participating in a traditional live simulation. Four existing bilingual peer-reviewed simulation scenarios were transformed into VSGs to be used for presimulation preparation. The team selected critical decision-points from each scenario to form the basis of each VSG, created filming scripts, and filmed and assembled video clips.Results: Our project generated four bilingual presimulation preparation VSGs with a user-friendly, low-cost VSG design process.Conclusions: We have demonstrated that nurse educators can easily create contextually relevant VSGs addressing program gaps.

  • Virtual simulation games can provide psychological safety and lessen fear, anxiety, and embarrassment in new learners who worry about making mistakes in front of fellow students and instructors.

    “VSGs can also provide psychological safety and lessen fear, anxiety, and embarrassment in new learners who may worry about making mistakes in front of fellow students and instructors [16–18].”

    From Development and evaluation of virtual simulation games to increase the confidence and self-efficacy of healthcare learners in vaccine communication, advocacy, and promotion (2024) · cites this paper as [16]

    Section 1.1 (p. 1) lists minimized learner vulnerability and anxiety among the advantages of VSGs. Section 4.2 (p. 7) identifies decreased learner anxiety as an anticipated benefit requiring further research. Neither passage addresses embarrassment or fear of making mistakes in front of fellow students and instructors, so the more specific explanation is not supported by this paper. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Healthcare providers are most likely to improve their confidence in communication skills through repeated practice with patients, and simulations are an effective way to emulate real patient scenarios.

    “Ultimately, HCPs are most likely to improve their confidence in communication skills through repeated practice with patients, and simulations are an effective way to emulate real patient scenarios.”

    From Development and evaluation of virtual simulation games to increase the confidence and self-efficacy of healthcare learners in vaccine communication, advocacy, and promotion (2024) · cites this paper as [16]

    Section 2.7 (p. 5) says actors can portray real patients and provide a realistic opportunity to practice interpersonal communication in a virtual simulation. It does not say that repeated practice with patients is the most likely way for healthcare providers to improve confidence in their communication skills. (LLM, conf=0.86)

    Experimental — accuracy not yet measured

  • Virtual simulation games can provide additional decision-making opportunities to complement in-person simulation and increased accessibility by learners worldwide.

    “VSGs can provide additional decision-making opportunities for participants to complement in-person simulation that often occurs in large group settings, as well as increased accessibility by learners worldwide [16].”

    From Development and evaluation of virtual simulation games to increase the confidence and self-efficacy of healthcare learners in vaccine communication, advocacy, and promotion (2024) · cites this paper as [16]

    Sections 1.1 and 1.4 (pp. 1–2) describe VSGs as offering decision-making practice and preparation before live simulation; section 1.1 also lists ease of access as an advantage. The paper does not establish accessibility for learners worldwide. Its Introduction (p. 1) says live simulations accommodate only small groups at one time, contrary to the citing sentence’s large-group description. (LLM, conf=0.85)

Technical expertise is not required, which ensures the cost is minimal. Our development process supports the production of context-relevant VSGs in a cost-effective and timely manner by the content experts themselves. This process will support nurse educators to enhance the quality of innovative nursing education. · DOI

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
