Presentation Abstract:

Too often the healthcare simulation industry develops products for use with little to no evidence to support efficacy. For faculty to invest and adopt innovative solutions evidence to support learning outcomes such as improved clinical judgment and prioritization skills is paramount. The industry has a responsibility to learners, faculty, and patients. It is in the best interest of the software and simulation developers to support research to establish outcomes. This not only informs end users and faculty but informs future iterations of the product. One way to see more unbiased research findings is by the establishment of in-kind grants. These unencumbered grants allow researchers to pose important questions and establish outcomes and efficacy. This information benefits all involved and can help with decision-making when adopting a new product. Additionally, this data has the potential to influence the administration when vying for limited resources. This online seminar will detail an initiative to support unencumbered in-kind research proposals and make recommendations for best practices.

This webinar will also showcase examples of such industry-supported virtual nursing simulation research such as the four 2022 awards provided by Sentinel U to four Nurse Educators, also known as the Sentinel U Nursing Simulation Research Grant (SUNSRG) program. These grants will allow investigators to utilize the company’s cutting-edge virtual simulation products to conduct valuable research in advanced nursing education.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Understand the role of the ed-tech industry in contributing to nursing science.
  2. Share a unique initiative that provides in-kind grants to use virtual simulation products for research.
  3. Discuss recommendations for industry, end-users, and facilitators on learning and performance.
