High Fidelity Patient Simulation in Nursing Education is a comprehensive guide to developing and implementing a high-fidelity patient simulation in a clinical setting. It is a necessary primer for administrators and nursing programs starting out with this technology. It includes examples for setting up a simulator program for nurses, developing and implementing this technology into particular clinical and laboratory courses, and setting up refresher courses in hospital settings. The text features appendices and case scenarios.

This book contains the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Innovation Design and Digital Technology (ICIDDT 2023) which was held in a hybrid form from November 3rd to 5th, 2023. The conference topics covered in this conference include Smart Village and Future Community, Digital Communication of Traditional Culture, Intelligent Equipment and Innovative Design, Intelligent Interaction and User Experience, Digital Ecology, and Data Analysis. The conference aims to promote communication and cooperation between academia and industry and provide a platform to discuss the latest research results and development trends in the field of innovative design and digital technology. We invited experts, scholars, and industry elites from all over the world to share their research results and experiences from different perspectives and fields. In addition, we would like to thank the conference chair, publication chairs, technical program committee chairs, program committee chairs, conference secretariat, local organizers, and conference sponsors for their financial support in making ICIDDT 2023 a success. We hope that this conference will be organized again in the future with more informative publications and inspirational research published. We would also like to thank the invited speakers for their excellent contributions and for sharing their points of view during their speeches.

Today's health care environment requires competent staff that can care for patients' consistently changing conditions. High fidelity simulation is important to nurse clinical educators as an alternate method to provide experiences that assimilate, expand, and enhance their self-confidence. National League for Nursing states that nurses' self-confidence improves the performance level in life saving conditions (National League for Nursing, 2013). The problem statement of this Direct Practice Improvement (DPI) project was the following: It is not known to what extent using high fidelity simulation in adult cardiac life support (ACLS) renewal courses increase the self-confidence of nursing staff. The purpose of this quantitative project was to determine if high fidelity simulation increases nurses' confidence level while performing ACLS. The clinical question was the following: Does using high fidelity simulation in ACLS renewal classes increase nursing staff's confidence level and improve their performance at work? The theoretical foundation for this project incorporated Benner's Novice to Expert model. The design of this DPI project was a pre- and post- survey. A paired t-test was used to analyze the data. The population was 64 registered nurses who self-enrolled for an ACLS class using simulation. Statistical findings of this project suggest that high fidelity simulation increases the self-confidence level of the nurses.

"Clinical simulation is one of the newer technologies in nursing education. Within the last few years, high fidelity clinical simulation in nursing has grown abundantly. This form of education has served to beneft not only students, but also currently licensed nurses by facilitating critical thinking skills and offering an environment where high risk and low volume procedures and interventions can be done with no potential harm to a patient." p.4.

In today’s quickly changing healthcare environment, simulation has become an indispensable strategy for preparing nursing students to deliver optimal patient care. Clinical Simulations in Nursing Education: Advanced Concepts, Trends, and Opportunities, Second Edition, takes the use of simulations to the next level, exploring innovative teaching/learning methods, new clinical models, and up-to-date best practices for providing high-quality education. From the evolution of clinical simulations to the use of more virtual simulations, incorporation of important constructs such as the social determinants of health, and the use of simulations in nursing education and competency-based testing, this engaging resource continues to provide intermediate and advanced simulation users and advocates with critical considerations for advancing simulation in nursing education. The comprehensive updated second edition focuses on the latest trends and concepts in simulation pedagogy to help nurse educators confidently prepare for their role in developing, planning, implementing, evaluating, and conducting research for effective simulation programs.
