We are pleased to announce the Final Conference of the SimPRENA project in Dublin, Ireland on...

Why?

The SimPRENA project aims to address a critical need within healthcare education: preparing nursing and paramedic students to navigate the challenges of a violent healthcare environment with confidence and competence. Aggression and violence towards medical staff are pressing concerns that jeopardize both patient and staff safety. By providing simulation-based training, this project seeks to bridge the gap between theory and practice, empowering students and educators alike to effectively handle real-life scenarios. Through immersive experiences with role-playing and real actors, the SimPRENA project aims to foster a safe learning environment where students can develop essential clinical and decision-making skills.

What?

Through the implementation of simulation-based training activities, the SimPRENA strives to achieve several key objectives. Firstly, it aims to enhance the self-confidence of nursing and paramedic students by bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. By engaging in simulation scenarios with real actors, students will develop critical thinking skills and learn to effectively cope with violence in healthcare settings. Additionally, the SimPRENA seeks to equip educators with the necessary tools and resources to facilitate simulation-based learning, thereby ensuring sustainability and scalability in training efforts. Ultimately, this project aims to create a comprehensive simulation package that empowers both students and teachers to navigate the complexities of the healthcare environment with confidence and competence.

How?

The SimPRENA takes a multi-faceted approach to achieving its objectives. Firstly, it will develop simulation scenarios and training materials tailored to the specific needs of nursing and paramedic students. These materials will be accessible through an e-learning platform, providing flexibility and convenience for learners. Additionally, it will conduct train-the-trainer courses to empower educators with the skills and knowledge to effectively facilitate simulation-based learning. By leveraging innovative teaching methods, such as interactive videos and role-play cards, it aims to create engaging and immersive learning experiences for students. Through ongoing evaluation and feedback, the SimPRENA project will continuously refine its approach to ensure maximum efficacy and impact.
