Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: to identify and analyze in the literature the use of the mobile simulation strategy for health professionals and for the community. Method: a scoping review based on the procedures recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute. The search databases were the following: PubMed, CINAHL via EBSCO, Scopus, LILACS, Portugal's Open Access Scientific Repository and CAPES Dissertations Database. The guiding question was the following: What contributions of the mobile simulation have been identified and assessed in the training processes of health professionals and of the community? There was no limitation regarding publication year, and nine studies were selected. Results: 2011 had the highest number of publications on this theme, most of them coming from the United States. It was evidenced that the mobile simulation contributed to the training of health professionals and community-dwelling individuals, favored the development of the professionals' clinical competencies, and proved to be an effective tool to take training to remote zones. Conclusion: mobile simulation is a modality that contributes to the development of the simulated practice regarding the active teaching method; however, it is still little explored, and expanding the perspectives of its implementation emerges as a challenge.
Highlights
Clinical simulation is a strategy for teaching in health that uses clinical scenarios to develop various aptitudes related to activities regarding education, assessment, research, and integration of health systems.[1]
Clinical simulation is promising both in the teaching and in the research fields, since it enables students and health professionals to learn and train the execution of activities in work environments similar to those where they will work in the real context
A cohort study[23] that compared the mortality rates in traumatized patients seen in rural emergency rooms versus the rates of those assisted in urban trauma centers evidenced that the chances of pre-hospital or emergency room mortality were three times higher for the patients treated in rural emergency departments, especially because all the specialized services were more present in the urban trauma centers
Summary
Clinical simulation is a strategy for teaching in health that uses clinical scenarios to develop various aptitudes related to activities regarding education, assessment, research, and integration of health systems.[1]. Simulation can involve the use of high-fidelity interactive computer mannequins or the participation of trained actors In both cases, the intention is to enable learning and the development of critical-reflective thinking and clinical reasoning,[4] develop skills and attitudes necessary for the professional practice, as well as to enhance the training of health professionals, intending to improve the clinical practice.[5]. The intention is to enable learning and the development of critical-reflective thinking and clinical reasoning,[4] develop skills and attitudes necessary for the professional practice, as well as to enhance the training of health professionals, intending to improve the clinical practice.[5] Another relevant aspect of the clinical simulation is the possibility of exercising safe practices in the promotion of patient, family, and community care. It can be implemented in different contexts, such as in the assistance of individuals, family members, community residents, and vulnerable populations.[6]
