Time frames are established as part of the simulation design to ensure there is reasonable time to achieve the objectives.

**Students take approximately twice as long as a practicing nurse.

Students/participants are notified of the time frame prior to beginning the scenario—”you have 15 minutes to complete this portion of the scenario”

WHY DO YOU THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT THE PARTICIPANTS KNOW THE TIMEFRAME?

• “How do we help each other get better”

• VALUES THINKING PROCESS• “What got in the way that lead to the mistake?”

Pre Briefing

•Prior to scenario• 5‐10 minutes• Establish baseline knowledge and understanding: “Tell me what you know about _______”• ALWAYS allow students/staff to orient to room prior to beginning scenario.• Fiction Contract/Confidentiality Form and Verbal agreement• Clearly Communicate the objectives and expected outcomes.

• Remember—We are providing an Experience!

• Moulage• Adds realism• Engages participants through all the senses

• Suspends disbelief• Supports critical thinking• Improves performance

THE SET

• “Captivate their emotions through environmental surroundings”

• Get well cards in patient rooms

• Flowers • Oxygen and suction• Food items

• hats/glasses• props: cane, large purses, toys, books

• (tip‐ Velcro is your friend!)• make up: fake vomit, tooth rot, moulage for injuries

CHARACTERS

• Manikins

• Trainers

• Standardized Patients/participants

• Confederates

“SETTING THE STAGE”

SCRIPT

• “To make the scenario come alive”

• Must consider moulage during the design phase

Example:  Mild rash reaction, infiltrated iv

Script vs. Cues

MAKE UP

• Enhance the simulation experience and allows for suspension of disbelief. 

• Make sure the products you purchase for moulage are compatible for your manikins 

• Certain companies will not assume responsibility for any damages/staining that may occur from moulage

Moulage: Getting StartedThings to Consider:

Will this enhance the participant’s experience?

Will this help meet the simulation objectives?

How old is the injury?

What is the pathophysiology of the injury?

Debriefing is one of the most important aspects of a simulation activity. Debriefing provides students with opportunities to:

› Reflect on performances› Ask questions› Close performance gaps› Synthesize curriculum

DEBRIEFING

management4volunteers.wordpress.com

All simulation-based learning experiences should include a PLANNED debriefing session aimed toward promoting reflective thinking.

Did you know? Reflective thinking does not happen automatically, but it can be taught; It requires time

Active involvement in a realistic experience

Guidance by an effective facilitator

STANDARDS OF BEST PRACTICE-SIMULATION: DEBRIEFING

Frames are invisible drivers of behaviorAssumptions

Feelings

Knowledge base

Situation awareness

Influence of context

Goal

Rules CAUTION: Don’t tell participants their frames Goal: Encourage participants to narrate their thinking! If we tell them frames or “connections”-it doesn’t stick!

ADVOCACY INQUIRY

ADVOCACY IS AN ASSERTION, OBSERVATION, OR STATEMENT.

INQUIRY IS A QUESTION.

“I see…” “I think…” “Tell me more about…” “I understand; however,

tell me about X” “I wonder…”

Share what you were thinking

Based on frames from student, how can we meet them where they are?

TALK ABOUT THE ELEPHANT

www.worldwildlife.org

Organized: Use learning objectives to guide conversation

Sit in circle to facilitate open conversations

We are exploring frames: “I noticed…” “Can you share with me what you were thinking as you…”

Performance Gaps

Not a mini-lecture

Remember silence is good!

TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE DEBRIEFING

3/29/2017

21

Allow students to internalize—if they are being told the “connections” it doesn’t stick!

Ask open questions avoiding yes/no answers

Leave time for “ah ha” moments or takeaways!

Focus on improvement or sustaining excellencePositive patterns of practice!

MORE TIPS FOR DEBRIEFING

Thinking about all the other things I have to do

Lack of interest in what the other person is saying

I already know what they are going to say

Working out what I am going to say next

CAUTION: DO NOT INTERRUPT!

This rushes their thinking and we get incomplete ideas.

Cox College Student Orientation to Simulation

Revised 1/2017

Why do we do Simulation? We want you to be successfulo Increase their confidence o Decrease their anxiety

o Bridge theory to practice o Safe environment

o If they will use the tools provided they will be successful (practice skills, do prep work, engage in activity, etc?) Getting to know the Manikin

o No pens or ink “Ink Free Zone” o No fluids down the nose or mouth of the manikin o No “ wet” Betadine (use the dry swab on top) or injections: IM/sub injections=Inject Ed; Foley o No cell phones (why) o Review capabilities of manikin as appropriate

BP (monitor vs manual dependent on course-fundamentals manual and some faculty) Blink Pupils dilate (3G) Pulses (have them each find a pulse to see how it feels) IV start-manikin specific (Noelle L, Esse, others). Review supplies and nursing judgement (cathlon size)

• Explain expectation for blood return/patency of IV (demo); 22 g ONLY o Review assessment findings the manikin cannot do-this is when you will hear voice from above

Capillary refill Edema Skin Turgor

Muscle strength PERRLA (3G) VS, Breath sounds (not overhead)

Lifting and moving manikin limitations. Expectations for posterior breath sounds; turning pt; skin integrity etc Realism—reinforce Confidentiality/Fiction Contract “We do all that we can to make this as realistic as possible, our

expectation is that you treat the manikin and confederates as if they are real” You are not “set up “ to be tricked Provide therapeutic touch Open meds, ampules, tubing etc. Oral meds we expect you to come to

the patient and offer water, etc. Refrain from “I would…” IV hooks by sink

We will stop them if they are opening something they should not or will harm our manikin.

3. STRUCTURE 

a. Our goal is to take students to the edge of what they can do 

b. Feeling safe does not equate to comfort 

c. Be achievable within an appropriate timeframe 

i. Students take 2X longer than a practicing nurse 

ii. Students are notified of the time frame prior to beginning the scenario—”you have 15 minutes to 

complete this portion of the scenario” 

iii. Sim team will notify you as the time to end is approaching 

d. Follow the scenario template 

4. Simulation Map (required for each scenario‐provide justification and rationale for why we do what we do) 

5. QSEN—Distractors and safety items are always planned and written into the scenario.  No impromptu 

6. Pre‐sim assignments—always give prior to them coming to sim (You decide when).  Approx 30‐60 min.  “Ticket to 

Class” 

a. Medications with distractions 

b. Learning objectives‐broad 

c. Skills needed to be successful 

d. What will you do if a student comes unprepared? 

7. Electronic Documentation Record‐if you decide to implement 

8. Post‐Sim Assignments 

a. What are the expectations for after sim? 

b. How will you be documenting their progress in sim?  Clinical antedoctal?   

9. Debriefing 

a. A skill that must be developed and continuously implemented to become proficient. 

b. Organized, structured:   

i. Not standing; sit in the circle with participants 

c. Novice approach:  Plus Delta technique; GAS model 

d. Not a lecture—you are ONLY facilitating a discussion 

e. Debriefing provides students with opportunities to: 

i. Reflect on performances 

SimulationinaNutshell(AreallyBIGnutshell!)MollyBryan,MSN,[email protected]� 

ii. Ask questions 

iii. Close performance gaps 

iv. Synthesize curriculum content 

f. Create a safe container 

i. Tell them what you have done to make it safe; to prepare them; etc. 

ii. Who will be watching? 

iii. What will you be doing with your findings? 

g. Role is to Elicit Frames of thinking:  Do not tell them their frames—must encourage them to narrate their 

thinking 

h. Phases 

i. Gather or Reaction—“How do/did you feel?” 

ii. Analyze—Explore those frames; analyze performance gaps 

1. “I noticed…Can you share with me what you were thinking as…” 

2. Silence is okay—let them gather and learn to think reflectively 

iii. Summarize—How do we do things differently for future; take a ways; close performance gaps 

10. Orient to Room—SimTeam will do this prior to each session.  They will greet you and provide you with a control 

room access badge.  You will need to let them know when to orient your students.  (5‐10 min).  Optimal to orient 

prior to giving report.  Part of your pre‐brief. 

11. Realism 

a. You are the voice of the patient—must maintain that realism.  Don’t use nursing vocabulary‐use lay terms  

b. Overhead is only for findings that manikin CANNOT give or to start/end scenario 

c. Allow the simulation scenario to progress without interruption, allowing the participants to problem solve 

independently. 

d. Do not lead students 

e. Use of appropriate cues 

f. “You may begin; That’s a wrap”—find a phrase that works for you and be consistent 

12. Role as a Facilitator 

a. Schedules/plans Sim Experiences 

b. Guides and supports students during QSE to achieve objectives 

c. Creates safe learning environment 

d. THE Content expert 

e. Acts as Voice of patient 

f. Facilitates Pre‐Brief and Debrief participants 

g. Prepares Student Prep assignments 

h. Plans Synthesis assignments 

i. Seeks continued Faculty Development 

13. Pre‐Briefing: 

a. Fiction Contract 

b. Confidentiality 

c. Expectations for the day 

d. Learning Objectives 

e. What resources are available to them Ex:  A physician is not readily available but in house and can be 

paged; you do or do NOT need to draw labs, etc.  

f. Establish baseline knowledge:   

SimulationinaNutshell(AreallyBIGnutshell!)MollyBryan,MSN,[email protected]� 

i. “Tell me what you know about…” 

ii. “Top three priorities” 

14. Ratio—Facilitating a Quality Sim Experience allows for a 2:1 ratio at Cox College 

REACTION/GATHER STAGE “How did that feel?” 

“Can someone summarize what the case was about from a medical point of view?” 

“What were the main issues you had to deal with?” 

Follow up:  “What happened next?”                        “What things did you do for the patient?  

 

ANALYSIS STAGE 

“Now that we are clear about what happened, Let’s talk about case. There were aspects I think you managed effectively and other areas that you might want to have done differently.  I would like to explore each area with you…”

“What aspects of the case do you think you managed well?” “What aspects of the case would you want to change?” “What aspects of the case would you want to do differently?” 

“I noticed you [insert performance gap here].   “I noticed that…” “I heard you say…” “I saw that…” “I liked that…” “I thought that was interesting/fascinating…” “It seemed to me…” “I was thinking…” “That makes me think that…” “I was concerned…” 

“How do you see it?” “I wonder what your thoughts were at the time” “What was going through your mind?” “How did you assess the situation?” “What were your priorities at the time?” “How did the team get organized?” “How did you decide that?”  

 

“Are there any outstanding issues we haven’t discussed yet before we start to 

close?” 

“I like to close the debriefing by having each of you state one‐two take a ways that 

will help you in the future”

Gather, Analyze, & Summarize  

1. Gather:  How do you feel about the simulation experience? Provide a couple of descriptive WORDS from each participant (i.e. exciting, confusing) 

   

2. Analyze: Tell me some positives and some things you would change about what happened in this scenario (how you performed). Were you able to meet the objectives for the scenario? If not, why?  

                                           ______________                                            ______________ 

(i.e. I introduced myself when I walked I the room.) 

               

Note: If difficulty coming up with items‐ think through the entire scenario from the beginning. As you walked in the  room what did you do? And then what? Did you notice what was going on with the patient? 

 

3. Summarize: If you were able to repeat the scenario again, would you do anything differently? If so, what? What is your take a way? As a result of your simulation experience, I have a greater ability to: 

  

 

Yes  No  Objectives 

    Demonstrates appropriate post-operative assessment

    Demonstrates effective provision of care for surgical patient

    Administers medications safely and appropriately

    Prioritizes and implements physician orders appropriately
