Pediatric Surgery

Post-Op Pediatric Clinical Simulation

The Post-Op Pediatric Clinical Simulation Game is an open educational resource (OER) containing a simulation game on the essentials of pediatric post-operative care. Learners can test their knowledge related to post-operative care of a pediatric patient and practice their skills by playing the virtual gaming simulation. The game replicates real-life clinical situations whereby learners have unlimited attempts to practice their skills. Learners will collect assessment data, choose from a variety of interventions, and experience the consequences of their decisions in a safe environment. Throughout the game, feedback and rationales are provided to enhance learning. Furthermore, at the end of the game, learners are provided with a summary statement that synthesizes their clinical decisions and offers the basis for forming an individualized learning plan. For optimal learning, a debrief should be conducted after the game. The debrief can consist of a written self-debrief, a facilitated synchronous virtual debrief, or an in-person debrief.

Learners: The Post-Op Pediatric Clinical Simulation Game is tailored for undergraduate-level nursing students. Other learners who can benefit from this resource include: nurses preparing for their certification exam, practicing nurses who would like to review these skills, and healthcare providers involved in pediatric or post-operative care.

Instructors: This resource is a learning tool to facilitate and promote the application of knowledge related to pediatric post-operative nursing care. It can be used as an in-class activity or an individual student assignment. It is important to review the learning outcomes to ensure students have the foundational knowledge to play the game. A pre-brief related to the content and the game is an important aspect of preparing the student for playing the game. It is important to include a debrief after the game is completed to optimize the learning.
