DevelopingAnInnovativeMixedReality SimulationBasedExperienceFocusingon TraumaInformedCareforVulnerableor UnderservedPopulationsExperiencing SexualAssault

Survivors of sexual assault (SA) require specialized patient-centered healthcare and psychological support addressing the trauma from the event. The use of specially trained nurses (SANEs) who can provide comprehensive psychological, medical, and forensic services in either the acute care setting or within a community-based clinic is a model used to address the unique needs of SA survivors.

To address the preparation of current and future SANEs an innovative approach was used to create a mixed reality (MR) SBE focusing trauma informed patient centered care and crisis intervention. This innovation was unique as it represented the collaboration between interprofessional community partners and a simulation team to create a MR holographic patient SBE focusing on trauma informed patient centered care for vulnerable or underserved populations for novice SANEs.

The first cohort of Adult/Adolescent learners (N=26) enrolled in NUR 427 participated in the MR SBE experience remotely during two live class sessions held via Zoom, one week prior to their on-site 2.5 day immersive simulation and skills bootcamp. The MR-SBE was intentionally scaffolded to promote comfort with patient centered care and trauma informed interviewing approach prior to participation in the on-site bootcamp. Learners were able to engage in the experience remotely experiencing and interacting with the holographic patient in a along with the faculty facilitators. Learners were provided wi instructions on accessing the application and were provided be utilized prior to initiation of the session.

Learners indicated they enjoyed experiencing a remote MR-S the 2.5 day bootcamp. Preliminary results also revealed that use, they had a strong desire to and indicated a desire for more p g overall rated the MR experience as positive.
