Conversations Confronting COVID-19: Aging

kvd1 — Wed, 29 Jul 2020 14:33:56 +0000

The COVID-19 pandemic has threatened our health and communities, including some of our most vulnerable populations, such as the elderly. Have we failed or succeeded in our duty to safeguard the most vulnerable members of our society? What has the national and global response to the pandemic taught us about our preparedness for such a virus? How will the pandemic influence our long-term strategy for healthy aging? These are some of the important questions we examined during Conversations Confronting COVID-19: Aging, the second session in the virtual event series.

This is EPIC: Simulation Education with Patient Actors to Improve Care

Simulation education, using standardized patient actors, is a unique way to provide education in health care settings to practicing clinicians. It is an opportunity to practice assessment skills and critical thinking in a safe environment that mimics the patient care setting. Our team implemented this concept at a hospital in Toronto, with a focus on researching the outcomes of a simulation intervention for nurses who care for patients receiving epidural analgesia for pain management after surgery. This photograph depicts the real-to-life patient care environment that was created for this study.

"Lights, Camera, Action: Wolfie's Story" is a photo depicting the filming of a virtual simulation game about an older gay man grieving the loss of his partner of over 30 years. The game is part of the "Make it Better for All" Developing and Evaluating Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Nursing Virtual Simulation Games project, led by Dr. Marian Luctkar-Flude, an assistant professor in the School of Nursing. This innovative CIHR-funded research project aims to develop and evaluate a series of virtual simulation games to provide education for nurses and nursing students on Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI). Four full games and four mini-games will be hosted on the SOGI-Nursing website along with other resources to promote cultural humility in nursing interactions with LGBTQI2S persons. The research project will evaluate the pedagogical value of using virtual simulation games to educate nurses and nursing students.
