Description
“Using Simulation to Improve Nursing and Midwifery Skills” is an essential resource aimed at professionals and students in the fields of nursing and midwifery, demonstrating how simulation can enhance both technical and non-technical skills in clinical practice. Written by experts Iben Akselbo and Ingvild Aune, this book serves as a practical guide for those wishing to integrate simulation as an educational methodology into their training journey.
The Italian edition, curated by Floriana Pinto and Sara Trapani, features contributions from Gabriele Lorenzini, Alessandro Monesi, and Francesco Severi. Gabriele Lorenzini, author of the NEXUS project, presents an intensive training program for advanced emergency care using high-fidelity simulations. Alessandro Monesi discusses the “ZERO” project, developed during the COVID-19 pandemic at Bologna’s Ospedale Maggiore, which leverages real spaces and virtual reality to accelerate learning in critical situations. Francesco Severi describes the pediatric simulation network in the Tuscany region, aimed at training teams of facilitators for pediatric emergencies. The preface is penned by Dr. Marco De Luca, President of the Italian Society for Simulation in Medicine (SIMMED).
Each chapter addresses a specific aspect of simulation, from its historical evolution to pedagogical theories, to practical applications in various clinical settings such as oncology, operating rooms, and palliative care. The book also explores new technologies, including 360° video and virtual reality, providing concrete examples of simulation scenarios designed to replicate high-risk situations and develop decision-making skills and effective communication among team members.
This book is a valuable resource for those seeking to improve their clinical skills through experiential learning. With numerous case studies and detailed approaches, it is both a practical and inspirational tool for educators, students, and healthcare professionals aiming to strengthen their training to deliver safer and more effective care.
