Does Learning with High-Fidelity Human Patient Simulation (Hfhps) DOES LEARNING WITH HIGH-FIDELITY HUMAN PATIENT SIMULATION (HFHPS) IN NURSING SCHOOL IMPACT CAREER RETENTION IN THE NURSING PROFESSION DURING THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF LICENSURE? A DISSERTATION IN NURSING Presented to the faculty of the University of Missouri-Kansas City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY By Christine M. Zimmerman B.S.N., Creighton University, 1995 M.S.N., University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2002 Kansas City, Missouri 2011 @ 2011 CHRISTINE M. ZIMMERMAN ALL RIGHTS RESERVED DOES LEARNING WITH HIGH-FIDELITY HUMAN PATIENT SIMULATION (HFHPS) IN NURSING SCHOOL IMPACT CAREER RETENTION IN THE NURSING PROFESSION DURING THE FIRST TWO YEARS OF LICENSURE? Christine M. Zimmerman, Candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy Degree University of Missouri-Kansas City, 2011 ABSTRACT High Fidelity Human Patient Simulation (HFHPS) is becoming an increasingly common component of undergraduate nursing education. Research has not captured the long term impact of this learning modality on retention in the profession of nursing. The purpose of this exploratory descriptive study was to determine if experience with HFHPS during undergraduate nursing education effects career retention within the profession of nursing during the first two years following initial Registered Nurse (RN) licensure. Three research questions guided this study: What is the strength of correlation between the amount of time spent participating in HFHPS scenarios while enrolled in nursing school and the Registered Nurse graduates‟ retention in the nursing profession within the first two years of initial licensure? What is the relationship between participation in clinically specialized HFHPS scenarios and retention in corresponding clinical specialty areas within the first two years of initial licensure? iii Does the association between amount of time spent participating in HFHPS scenarios and retention in the nursing profession within the first two years of initial licensure vary among students graduating from different degree programs (Baccalaureate or Associate)? A postcard invitation to participate in an on-line survey was sent to 1427 RNs in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Respondents (n=89) self-disclosed demographic information, describing their retention in the nursing workforce and experiences with HFHPS during undergraduate nursing education. Results indicated that participation in HFHPS scenarios during undergraduate does not correlate with attrition from either the profession of nursing or the original unit of hire during the first two years of practice after initial RN licensure. iv APPROVAL PAGE The faculty listed below, appointed by the Dean of the School of Nursing have examined a dissertation titled “Does Learning with High-Fidelity Human Patient Simulation During Nursing School Impact Career Retention in the Nursing Profession During the First Years of Licensure?”, presented by Christine M. Zimmerman, candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy degree, and certify that in their opinion it is worthy of acceptance.

  • Reporting Guidelines for Simulation-Based Research in Social Sciences
    Reporting Guidelines for Simulation-based Research in Social Sciences Hazhir Rahmandad John D. Sterman Grado Department of Industrial and Sloan School of Management Systems Engineering Massachusetts Institute of Technology Virginia Tech [email protected] [email protected] Abstract Reproducibility of research is critical for the healthy growth and accumulation of reliable knowledge, and simulation-based research is no exception. However, studies show many simulation-based studies in the social sciences are not reproducible. Better standards for documenting simulation models and reporting results are needed to enhance the reproducibility of simulation-based research in the social sciences. We provide an initial set of Reporting Guidelines for Simulation-based Research (RGSR) in the social sciences, with a focus on common scenarios in system dynamics research. We discuss these guidelines separately for reporting models, reporting simulation experiments, and reporting optimization results. The guidelines are further divided into minimum and preferred requirements, distinguishing between factors that are indispensable for reproduction of research and those that enhance transparency. We also provide a few guidelines for improved visualization of research to reduce the costs of reproduction. Suggestions for enhancing the adoption of these guidelines are discussed at the end. Acknowledgments: We would like to thank Mohammad Jalali for providing excellent research assistance for this paper. We thank David Lane for his helpful suggestions. 1. Introduction and Motivation Reproducibility of research is central to the progress of science. Only when research results are independently reproducible can different research projects build on each other, verify the results reported by other researchers, and convince the public of the reliability of their results (Laine, Goodman et al.

These are develop- ment of the field, the notion of serious games, the importance of debriefing, the need for research, and the emergence of a discipline.

  • The Use of Role-Play Simulations to Foster Interdisciplinary/Global Learning
    Journal of Instructional Pedagogies Volume 16, July, 2015 Confronting pedagogy in “Confronting Globalization”: The use of role-play simulations to foster interdisciplinary/global learning Lesley A. DeNardis Sacred Heart University ABSTRACT With the increasing emphasis on global learning as part of the redesigned institutional mission of American higher education, there will arguably be a need for a variety of global learning experiences across the undergraduate curriculum. Efforts to incorporate global learning in course content at home by globalizing or internationalizing the curricula are already underway at many institutions of higher education. This article offers a set of recommendations for educators wishing to globalize their courses by adopting an interdisciplinary approach to global learning specifically through the use of role-play simulations. As a problem-based pedagogy, role-play simulations are uniquely equipped to deliver interdisciplinary and global learning outcomes since both fields are explicitly geared towards practical problem-solving. It will be argued that an interdisciplinary approach to global learning through the use of role-play simulations offers a number of pedagogical advantages to traditional teaching techniques.

  • Experiential Foresight: Participative Simulation Enables Social Reflexivity in a Complex World
    ESSAYS .111 Experiential Foresight: Participative Simulation Enables Social Reflexivity in a Complex World Barbara M. Bok Stander Ruve Australia Abstract Participative modelling and simulation activities have demonstrated that social innovation is achievable for present-day problems. Such activities enable our intentional exploration of future social configurations and their consequences and thus constitute a shared space for pre-experiencing and researching arrangements before they come into being. A form of "experiential foresight" involving combinations of social and non- social models is achieved by changing the roles and responsibilities of simulators/modellers and participants/ customers in the simulation process supported by suitable technologies. Provides an alternative interpretation of often one-sided positivist perspectives of simulation theory and application, emphasising the emergence of reflexive social innovation in complex worlds. Keywords: simulation and modelling, simulation games, agent-based simulation, simulation for learning, scenarios, action research, social synergy, symantic conception of theories Introduction Simulation is extensively used for studying physical and social phenomena and for the predic- tion of future conditions of such phenomena. If simulation is universally used for turning out tech- nological innovations, is there in comparison a lower propensity to apply simulation for social inno- vation and prospective foresight? Does the traditional positivist mentality in the theory and practice of simulation

  • A Bayesian Approach to the Simulation Argument
    universe Article A Bayesian Approach to the Simulation Argument David Kipping 1,2 1 Department of Astronomy, Columbia University, 550 W 120th Street, New York, NY 10027, USA; [email protected] 2 Center for Computational Astophysics, Flatiron Institute, 162 5th Av., New York, NY 10010, USA Received: 24 June 2020; Accepted: 31 July 2020; Published: 3 August 2020 Abstract: The Simulation Argument posed by Bostrom suggests that we may be living inside a sophisticated computer simulation. If posthuman civilizations eventually have both the capability and desire to generate such Bostrom-like simulations, then the number of simulated realities would greatly exceed the one base reality, ostensibly indicating a high probability that we do not live in said base reality. In this work, it is argued that since the hypothesis that such simulations are technically possible remains unproven, statistical calculations need to consider not just the number of state spaces, but the intrinsic model uncertainty. This is achievable through a Bayesian treatment of the problem, which is presented here. Using Bayesian model averaging, it is shown that the probability that we are sims is in fact less than 50%, tending towards that value in the limit of an infinite number of simulations. This result is broadly indifferent as to whether one conditions upon the fact that humanity has not yet birthed such simulations, or ignore it. As argued elsewhere, it is found that if humanity does start producing such simulations, then this would radically shift the odds and make it very probably we are in fact simulated. Keywords: simulation argument; Bayesian inference 1.

My aim is to make sense of such a claim. I first show that the similarities between computer simulations and experiments do not allow them to generate new knowledge but invite the simulationist to interact with simulations in an experimental manner. I contend that, nevertheless, computer simulations and experiments yield new knowledge under the same epistemic circumstances, independently of any features they may share.

  • Distributed Agent-Based Simulation in the Digital Humanities
    Proceedings of the 2012 Winter Simulation Conference C. Laroque, J. Himmelspach, R. Pasupathy, O. Rose, and A. M. Uhrmacher, eds. MWGRID: DISTRIBUTED AGENT-BASED SIMULATION IN THE DIGITAL HUMANITIES Bart Craenen Vincent Gaffney Vinoth Suryanarayanan Philip Murgatroyd School of Computer Science Institute of Archaeology and Antiquity University of Birmingham University of Birmingham United Kingdom United Kingdom Georgios Theodoropoulos IBM Research Ireland ABSTRACT Digital Humanities offer a new exciting domain for agent-based distributed simulation. In historical studies interpretation rarely rises above the level of unproven assertion and is rarely tested against a range of evidence. Agent-based simulation can provide an opportunity to break these cycles of academic claim and counter-claim. The MWGrid framework utilises distributed agent-based simulation to study medieval military logistics. As a use-case, it has focused on the logistical analysis of the Byzantine army’s march to the battle of Manzikert (AD 1071), a key event in medieval history. It integrates an agent design template, a transparent, layered mechanism to translate model-level agents’ actions to timestamped events and the PDES-MAS distributed simulation kernel. The paper presents an overview of the MWGrid system and a quantitative evaluation of its perfomance. 1 INTRODUCTION Agent-based simulation, as a means to model and explore the effect of individual action in complex systems has recently witnessed an explosion of interest and application in a wide range of domains. Perhaps surprisingly, one of these domains is historical studies. Historical interpretation is associated with clear narratives defined by a series of fixed events or actions. In reality, even where critical historical events may be identified, contemporary documentation frequently lacks corroborative detail that supports verifiable interpretation.
