Description

Using Simulation to Enhance Nursing and Midwifery Competencies is a key work aimed at professionals and students in the nursing and midwifery fields. It illustrates how simulation can enhance both technical and non-technical competencies in clinical practice. Authored by experts Iben Akselbo and Ingvild Aune, the text serves as a practical guide for those wishing to integrate simulation as a core educational methodology within their training pathways.

The Italian edition, edited by Floriana Pinto and Sara Trapani, includes contributions from Gabriele Lorenzini, Alessandro Monesi, and Francesco Severi. Gabriele Lorenzini, founder of the NEXUS project, presents an intensive training program for advanced rescue that employs high-fidelity simulation. Alessandro Monesi describes the “ZERO” project, developed during the COVID-19 pandemic at Ospedale Maggiore in Bologna, which integrates real environments and virtual reality to accelerate learning in high-stakes situations. Francesco Severi details the pediatric simulation network of the Tuscany region, aimed at training facilitator teams for pediatric emergencies. The foreword is written by Dr. Marco De Luca, President of the Italian Society for Simulation in Medicine (SIMMED).

Each chapter addresses a specific aspect of simulation—from its historical evolution to pedagogical theories—culminating in practical applications across various clinical domains, including oncology, surgical care, and palliative care. The book also explores emerging technologies such as 360-degree video and virtual reality, offering concrete examples of simulated scenarios designed to replicate high-risk situations and to foster decision-making and effective communication within clinical teams.

This volume stands as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to enhance clinical skills through experiential learning. With its wealth of case studies and detailed instructional strategies, it is a practical and inspiring tool for educators, students, and healthcare professionals committed to advancing their training and delivering safer, more effective care.
