Learning unit contents
The course is divided into 2 main parts. Part 1: Research Several journals highlight methodological weaknesses in health simulation research. The causes are numerous and not limiting: low number of subjects included, insufficient statistical power, great variability of the tests used for the evaluation, etc. The Cochrane review, published in 2009 (Gurusamy et al., 2009), containing randomized controlled studies on the effectiveness of surgical simulation methods, concluded that there was a need for greater methodological rigor in the work undertaken. Many questions remain to be investigated with regard to the pedagogical interest of health simulation as well as the pedagogical processes involved. In this framework, this part of the course aims to show students the evidence-based simulation, by reading and presenting some founding or recent articles in this field. Part 2: Ethics The student, through an interactive approach, equips students with tools for reflection and analysis, provides theoretical tools (through, among other things, a reading portfolio) and leads them to question critically the concepts that transpire in the particularly those traditionally associated with ethics: autonomy, responsibility, solidarity, law and legality, and so on. The objective is to develop an ethical culture among students and to open them to the complexity, otherness and uncertainty of choices and decisions involving an ethical dimension. This ethical reflection will be directly related to the difficulties encountered in the professional practice of the finality 'critical patient'.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Part 1: Research
This section aims to familiarize the student with evidence-based simulation data and to develop his / her critical thinking with regard to the literature in this field.
Part 2: Ethics
At the end of this learning activity, you will be able to:
- in terms of knowledge and know-how
* Identify recurring ethical issues in your usual workplaces;
* Consider the various angles of view that illuminate a complex situation;
* Facilitating a process of reflection assistance;
- in terms of know-how / becoming
* Identify your training resources and needs with respect to the angles of view to be considered in complex recurring situations;
* To build and update your professional knowledge regarding these different angles of view;
* Encourage participation, reflection, expression and challenge within a work team.
