Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Widely used in teaching various healthcare students, patient simulations are not common in dietetics education. This mixed-methods study investigated effectiveness of patient simulations in two courses (one undergraduate, one graduate) in 2016 and 2017 in Applied Human Nutrition at the University of Guelph. Nutrition students acted as dietitians, and theatre students as patients. 99.8% of undergraduate and 82.6% of graduate nutrition students agreed/strongly agreed that simulations enhanced learning and confidence. Undergraduate students' competence scores related to physical assessment, patient education, and communication skills improved by 46.9%, and graduate students' scores related to assessment, patient education, communication and counselling skills, by 27.9% (both p

Book excerpt: Abstract : A dietitian must earn the credentials of Registered Dietitian Nutritionist to be employed as a clinical dietitian in the hospital and public health settings (Academy, 2013). According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the job outlook for registered dietitians is expected to grow 16% by 2024 (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2016). In recent years, it has been increasingly difficult to find Registered Dietitians who are willing to serve as preceptors for dietetic students, leading to a shortage of internship sites (Thompson & Gutschall, 2015). Therefore, dietetic programs are forced to find other means of training, such as simulation for students to achieve dietetics competencies required for their credentialing. Simulation, specifically high-fidelity simulation, offers a real-world setting in which students could learn and achieve competencies. This study explored the use of simulation in dietetics education as it has been used in nursing education and other fields. It also investigated the role of technology acceptance in the successful implementation of simulation as it relates to self-efficacy and student-centered learning. Self-efficacy and student-centered learning were explored for their connection with achievement of clinical competencies in dietetics; particularly, the nutrition focused physical exam. The achievement of dietetics competencies with the use of simulation could implicate the effectiveness of simulation in dietetics education.

Download or read book Simulation Training Increases Dietetic Students Self efficacy Prior to Clinical Supervised Practice written by Loren Oden and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 70 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Simulation has rarely been used or studied in the dietetics profession, despite its beneficial effects on students and its widespread usage in other healthcare disciplines including nursing and medicine. This study examined the effect of simulation training on dietetics students' self-efficacy before supervised clinical practice. A pretest-posttest design was conducted during the fall of the 2015-2016 (n=20) and 2016-2017 (n=22) academic years. Students completed 120 hours of simulation training with manikin (SimMan) under the supervision of a panel of three Registered Dietitians. Ten previously validated case studies were used for the simulation training. Using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test, a statistically significant increase in students’ median self-efficacy, following the simulation course, was observed. This study supports the use of simulation training with dietetics students to prepare them for supervised clinical practice.

Download or read book Perceptions and Attitudes of Dietetic Program Educators Regarding Use of Distance Education and Computer based Simulations in Dietetics Education written by Kirsten L. Schlein and published by . This book was released on 2011 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Distance education (DE) can address barriers to training nutrition professionals by offering a convenient, flexible and efficient way of learning. One particularly valuable teaching tool in DE is the use of computer-based simulations (CBS). CBS stimulates confidence building, acquisition of new knowledge, exposure to new and challenging patient cases in a safe learning environment, development of communication and critical thinking skills, and the cultivation of sensitivity towards patient needs. Despite the benefits, there is a lack of research examining dietetic educator's perceptions of and experience with CBS. Goals of this study were to determine: 1) whether dietetic program educators were open to the idea of using CBS and how these responses varied in relation to different factors, and 2) dietetic program educators' perceptions of the benefits and barriers of using CBS. Secondary data analyses were conducted on a15-item survey developed by the American Dietetic Association (ADA). Surveys contained two qualitative questions and 13 quantitative questions related to CBS. Surveys were e-mailed via the ADA listserv to 535 program directors, including Dietetic Internship Programs (DI), Coordinated Programs in Dietetics (CP), Didactic Programs in Dietetics (DPD), and the Dietetic Technician Programs (DT). A total of 165 individuals responded to the survey. The majority of respondents were open to the use of CBS (n=117) and a small number were not open (n=24). Respondents open to CBS were more likely to 1) not prefer face-to-face communication with their students and colleagues 2) currently be using online case studies and simulations 3) be using standardized patients in supervised practice 4) believe that dietetics education needs alternatives to traditional supervised practice such as CBS 5) believe that they have IT and financial support from their administration 6) have medical simulation laboratories available for dietetics students 7) believe that they had the technological skills needed to use CBS. Educators commented on the potential for CBS to address the shortage of preceptors and facilities available for supervised practice, in addition to enhancing and expediting learning in various settings. Perceived barriers, included the idea that technology impedes learning and a concern about the resources needed to implement CBS. Understanding the perspectives and practices of education program directors is a crucial component of furthering the process of incorporating CBS into nutrition education. This is exciting new terrain for nutrition education and moving forward with research in both distance education and CBS will be beneficial to enhancing nutrition and dietetics education in DE, traditional classroom settings and in supervised practice.
