This study details a criminal trial simulation for medication errors, using transformative learning. Undergraduate students served as jurors, while graduate students role-played trial participants, enhancing educational experiences.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Education
  • Healthcare Simulation
  • Transformative Learning

Background:

  • Simulation is increasingly utilized as an effective instructional strategy in higher education.
  • Medication errors pose significant risks in healthcare, necessitating robust training for future professionals.
  • Interprofessional collaboration in curriculum design enhances educational outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the design and implementation of a criminal trial simulation focused on a medication error.
  • To utilize Bradshaw's model of transformative learning to structure the simulation experience.
  • To evaluate the effectiveness of a collaborative simulation between undergraduate and graduate nursing students.

Main Methods:

  • A criminal trial simulation was developed and implemented within an issues and trends course.

  • Graduate students assumed roles of trial participants (e.g., defendants, witnesses).
  • Undergraduate students acted as the jury, evaluating the case presented.

    • Main Results:

    • The simulation provided a practical application of theoretical concepts related to medication errors and legal implications.
    • Students engaged actively in role-playing and jury deliberations, fostering critical thinking.
    • The collaborative approach facilitated intergenerational learning between undergraduate and graduate students.

    Conclusions:

    • Simulation-based learning, particularly criminal trial scenarios, offers a valuable pedagogical tool for addressing complex healthcare issues like medication errors.
    • Bradshaw's model effectively guided the design of a transformative learning experience.
    • Debriefing and reflection are crucial components for maximizing learning from simulated events.
