WHAT IS SIMULATION?

• “Simulation is the reproduction of • “… As a strategy – not a technology –

the essential features of a real life to mirror, anticipate, or amplify real
situation” (Medley & Home, 2005). situations with guided experiences in
a fully interactive way.” (Li, n.d.)
 TYPES OF SIMULATIONS
• Screen-based/PC-based Simulation • Virtual Patients

(Canadian Medical Simulation lab)

 TYPES OF SIMULATIONS
• Partial Task Trainers • Human Patient Simulator

(Mississippi University for Women Simulation lab) (Boise State University Simulation lab)
 TYPES OF SIMULATIONS
• Standarized Patients • Integrated Models

(Loma Linda University Simulation) (National League for Nursing Center for Innovation and Simulation in
Technology)
 SIMULATION IN NURSING
• Promotes better decision-making, • Controlled situations and hands-on
problem solving and creative learning training
skills
 SIMULATION PROS
• Easy, flexible and unlimited access
• Promote critical thinking, decision-making and delegation
• Individualized pace learning
• Controlled learning environment
• Repetitive practice
 SIMULATION PROS
• Student-centered learning
• Independent critical thinking
• Immediate feedback
• Allow set up scenarios
 SIMULATION CONS

• Some simulation does not have physical interactivity

• Limited human interaction
• High financial cost
• High maintenance
 QUESTIONS
• Questions about simulations?
