Body Interact™

Summary:
In the field of health care, knowledge and clinical reasoning are key with regard to quality and confidence in decision making. The development of knowledge and clinical reasoning is influenced not only by students’ intrinsic factors but also by extrinsic factors such as satisfaction with taught content, pedagogic resources and pedagogic methods, and the nature of the objectives and challenges proposed.

Nowadays, educators play the role of learning facilitators rather than simple “lecturers” and face students as active learners who are capable of attributing individual meanings to their personal goals, challenges, and experiences to build their own knowledge over time.

Innovations in health simulation technologies have led to clinical virtual simulation based in virtual patients. It is a type of simulation that places learners in a central role through their exercising of motor control skills, decision skills, and communication skills using virtual patients in a variety of clinical settings.

In this workshop, we will present results of a randomized controlled trial about the effect of clinical virtual simulation with regard to knowledge retention, clinical reasoning, self-efficacy, and satisfaction with the learning experience among nursing students and we will do an hands-on learning experience diagnosing and treating virtual patients.
