Teaching Methods - Simulation

This document discusses simulation as a teaching method in healthcare. It defines simulation as techniques that attempt to recreate real-world situations. There are three main types of simulations: part-task trainers which focus on specific skills; standardized patients who act as real patients; and integrated simulators which combine computer technology and mannequins. Simulations allow for active learning, experiential learning, and practice in a controlled environment while receiving feedback to improve skills like communication, procedures, and critical thinking. While simulations provide benefits, they also have limitations such as cost and time requirements.

Simulation

Teaching Methods
Meaning

 Simulation - Technique or device that attempts

to create characteristics of the real world.


 The educator - control the learning
environment through scheduling of practice,
providing feedback and minimizing or
introducing environmental distractions.
 In health care, simulation may refer to “a
device representing a simulated patient or of
a patient; such device can respond to and
interact with the actions of the learner”
Definition

 Simulations are defined as “activities that mimic


the reality of a clinical environment and are
designed to demonstrate procedures, decision –
making and critical thinking through techniques
such as role playing and the use of devises such
as interactive videos or mannequins.”
Principles of Simulation
 Clear stated objectives
 Actual patient care experience
 Proper orientation of proceedings/ scenario
 Use of problem – solving and critical reasoning
 Role of educator must be as a facilitator
 Collaborative approach between educator and
simulator.

Characteristics of Simulated Teaching
1. Extraneous variables are
controlled, mimics real situation,
experience in controlled setting

5. Experience 2. Bridging the gap


replicates success b/w T & P

4. 3. Focus is on
Immediate/Effective performance/appli
feedback cation
Types of Simulation

1. Part task trainer

2. Standardized patient

3. Integrated Simulators
1. Part task trainer

 Also known as low-tech or static task trainers

 Designed to replicate only a part of the body


or portion of the environment.
 Often task specific.
1. Part task trainer

 Used to teach,

Mostly procedure

Basic psychomotor skills

Anatomy of human body


1. Part task trainer - Example
 Teaching of injection technique to arm

 Using Mannequin for Neonatal Resuscitation

 Plastic “IV Arm”

 Airway management head

 Urinary catheter trainer

 Pelvic examination trainer


Part Task Trainers
2. Standardized patient
A simulation patient, standardized patient or
sample patient (SP) also known - patient
instructor.
 It is an individual who is trained to act as a real
patient in order to simulate a set of symptoms or
problems.
 Successfully used in medical education, nursing
 Used for:
 Physical assessment skills

 History taking

 Teaching communication skills

 Teaching clinical skills

 Interaction with psychiatric client

 Clinical examination
3. Integrated Simulators

 Also known as human patient simulators (HPS)

 Combine computer technology and part- or


whole –body mannequins to provide a more
realistic learning experience.
 Integrated computer technology housed that
allows the mannequin to respond in real time to
specific care interventions and treatments
Integrated Simulators

 For example:
 Medications

 Chest compressions

 Needle decompression

 Chest tube placement, and other physiologic

interventions and subsequent responses.


Advantages of simulation

 Active and interactive learning

 Experiential learning

 Boost self - confidence and reduces anxiety

 Development of critical thinking and


decision- making skills
Advantages of simulation

 Engaging student entertaining learning


experience
 Provide real learning opportunity

 Self study as well as group interaction

 Bridge between theory and practice


Advantages of simulation

 Exposure of student to new condition

 Practice of skills and procedure in realistic


situation
Limitation
 Require more faculty and student -
development and training
 More time consuming
 Cannot be used for all subject of curricula
 Not useful for some children
 Need much preparation behalf of teacher
 Much developed and costlier audio-visual are
used, Costly
