Prosjektet involverer sykepleiere i kommunehelsetjenesten, sykepleiestudenter i forste studiear, kontaktlaerere og representanter for simuleringsenheten ved HiG. Hensikten var a prove ut et kursprogram, som kan innga i en fremtidig samarbeidsmodell. Prosjektdeltakerne far erfare simuleringsmetodikk som laeringsaktivitet, bade gjennom fullskalasimulering og prosedyretrening.

In recent decades, healthcare providers have undergone simulation training in realistic patient situations demanding complex decision-making and teamwork. The training was based on experiences with “Crew Resource Management” (CRM) used in civil aviation.

These experiences are rarely discussed in plenary, and research specifically aimed at operating room nurses is limited. The aim of this study was to describe how operating room nurses experience participating in organ procurement surgical procedures. A qualitative, descriptive and exploratory design was chosen. The sample consisted of 14 operating room nurses, recruited from The National Transplant Centre, Norway. Data collection was conducted using individual, in-depth interviews. Qualitative inductive manifest content analysis was used. The study is reported according to QUOREC. Four main categories constitute the findings: operating room nurses have experienced emotional and personal impact; they try to handle these emotions using coping strategies; the experiences have promoted professional development; the importance of colleagues, including an open unit culture, is em...

Requirements for Patient Safety suggest that students encounter patients well prepared. In clinical laboratory practice (CLP), the students simulate patient situations as a preparation for internship. Various CLP models have been tried out to meet the students’ prerequisites and learning strategies. Objectives. The purpose of this study was to try out two different learning sessions related to the bed bath procedure. Design and Methods. The study has a descriptive, quantitative design with elements from clinically controlled trials. Sample. The population of 160 first-year students was randomly divided into two classes. Questionnaires. Two questionnaires were answered with six-month intervals: Form 1 immediately after the first training session and Form 2 a short time after clinical practice. Findings. A majority of the nursing students reported that the exercises in the clinical lab were a good way to prepare for the practice, although most of them did not perceive th...
