Abstract:
Simulation-based education has demonstrated the ability to foster clinical judgement and bridge the knowledge practice gap for those entering clinical practice (Jang & Park, 2021). Using the INACSL Simulation Design and Facilitation Standards and Tanner’s Clinical Judgement Model (CJM) it is possible to redesign psychomotor skills laboratory activities. Adopting a learner-centered approach to facilitating carefully designed case-based learning experiences in this setting creates opportunities for learners to notice, interpret, and respond to client cues. This asks learners to reflect in action as they consider what they have noticed, interpreted, and plan to do for the client. Debriefing and reflection is incorporated into each session and asks learners to consider the how and the why behind the actions/skills implemented and possible alternative outcomes or solutions.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify the benefits of fostering clinical judgement in the psychomotor skills laboratory setting for nursing students.
- Demonstrate how Tanner’s Clinical Judgement Model can be used to guide the design of activities in the skills laboratory setting.
- Describe the process for facilitating and promoting reflection in action and on action in the psychomotor skills laboratory setting.
