Abstract

Early recognition and management of patient deterioration are essential nursing skills, and can be improved through education and experience. However, both nursing students and registered nurses may have few opportunities to develop and maintain the emergency management skills necessary to ensure patient safety. Using both theory and empirical evidence, we have developed a simulation-based educational model, 'FIRST2ACT' (Feedback Incorporating Review and Simulation Techniques to Act on Clinical Trends), to provide nurses with a high-fidelity learning experience. The model has been tested in three different settings: it is highly acceptable to learners, adaptable to different training needs, and shows promise in improving actual clinical performance.
