About

The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the use of identification badge (role and place) during high-fidelity simulation as an impact on situation awareness.

Full description

High-fidelity simulation is well recognized as an educational tool. Mr. Issenberg completed a review(2005) that determined features of high-fidelity simulation training that lead to effective learning. It this review, it is mentioned that the validity of the simulator (realism) is essential to help learners to increase their skills and sharpen their responses. It is essential to get and maintain engagement during high-fidelity simulation and it pass by an increase in realism and situation awareness. The purpose of this study is to evaluate if the use of identification badge (physical and conceptual realism) during high-fidelity simulation as an impact on situation awareness and engagement.
