Introduction
The laboratories of the simulation center of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences - Department of Nursing and Midwifery are one of the advanced practical laboratories in order to qualify and prepare students to be able to acquire medical and nursing skills, before application on reality, Within hospitals and health institutions so that integrates the theoretical side with the practical side. Providing a clinical environment that simulates the environment of hospitals and health institutions through careful preparation of advanced laboratories equipped similar to those institutions that would contribute to raising the professional and technical performance of students of medicine, medical sciences and nursing and this is what drives the Department strive to keep up with everything new updated.
Overview
This Simulation Center provides educational and training opportunities for all students that address the real needs of nursing and medical students in order to improve their academic retention and success. Students of this department will experience a high quality academic and clinical training environment. What makes this simulation center unique is that it prepare and train graduates to meet the needs and demands of the society as health leaders, caregivers, teachers/educators, advocators, and counselors. In addition, it makes productive and mutually beneficial relationships between the Nursing Department and the community, higher education organizations, businesses, local schools, and regional colleges and universities. Simulation center laboratory, simulating a mini-hospital, providing the medical and nursing students of all levels a safe training environment and giving them an opportunity to train for all kinds of situations that students will deal with.
Main Purpose
It is to provide a suitable place simulates a real hospital environment which prepared with various equipment and devices that contribute to the preparation and training of students in the Department of Nursing at various nursing skills.
Specific objectives:
- Provide an environment simulated clinical field environment.
- Enhance the student's self-confidence and bridge the gap between the theoretical and clinical side.
- Providing opportunities to gain hands-on training for various skills.
- Providing students with the necessary skills to work within an integrated health team.
Content of the Simulation Center
Simulation Center is equipped with the highest-quality patients-dolls and technology, it includes 4 separated classrooms serve as patients rooms, 2 control rooms, and 2 debriefing room as specified below :
Adult patient simulation room fully equipped with two high quality patients’ manikins with technology and these advanced and high-efficiency puppets allows applying all the medical nursing skills of each specialty, as they work with a Wireless system and linked with control devices (tablets) to control and programming them in every possible scenarios and situation a student might face in the hospital or clinic and apply it safely before working in one .
Mom / Female patient simulation room to serve as a labor , and gynecology unit fully equipped with two high quality patients’ manikin ( Mother & Baby ) , open heating system for the baby , with technology and these advanced and high-efficiency puppets allows applying all the medical and nursing skills of each specialty, as they work with a Wireless system and linked with control devices (tablets) to control and programming them in every possible scenarios and situation a student might face in the hospital or clinic and apply it safely before working in one .
Junior patient simulation room to serve as a pediatrics unit , fully equipped with one high quality patients’ manikin , with technology , these advanced and high-efficiency puppets allows applying all the medical and nursing skills of each specialty, as they work with a Wireless system and linked with control devices (tablets) to control and programming them in every possible scenarios and situation a student might face in the hospital or clinic and apply it safely before working in one.
Debriefing rooms are fully equipped with 2 high-quality TV monitor, with a complete camera system (SMOTS) to monitor students’ work with patients in the rooms, transfer the image and sound to other students in the debriefing room, The debriefing allows the immediate feedback and a reflective critical thinking analysis and communication tool for participants of the simulation exercise. The purpose of the debriefing assessment provides an intense post-conference and active evaluation process driven by instructors and peers.
The students of all levels can apply all their basic and advanced medical and nursing skills during the training in the simulation center, such as full assessment of the patients , administering all types of medicine and a safe manner , inserting intravenous injection, administering intramuscular injection , applying the skills of ventilation , intubation , anesthesia , surgical procedures ,giving medicines, inserting urinary catheter and stomach tube, hear the heartbeats and lungs sound, preform CPR and all other skills that can work with any patient in the hospital and apply Basic Life Support (BLS), Advanced Cardiovascular Life Support (ACLS) in accordance with American Heart Association Guidelines.
