Project summary

CLINICALSIM is a capability building project targeted to Angola Higher Education Institutions with the aim of improving the practical training of nurses. Nurses are in the focus of health challenges in Angola and they are highly demanded in healthcare, meanwhile their practical competencies are considered as a critical issue. The consortium pursues filling the gap in practical skills(decision-making, interpersonal skills, human nutrition) and promoting HEIs social commitment.We will take advantage of simulation suites and multimedia digital tools to deploy experiential learnings and to promote a Community Service/Service-Learning into the universities. The experiential learning will take place in three different scenarios: simulation suites, digital multimedia and real patients.A reflective-practice methodology with a debriefing process will be followed. In the context of Service-Learning, we also introduce the social aim of CLINICALSIM and we appoint special considerations to individuals with socio-economic obstacles and health problems and the promotion of better nutrition habits. Main results: 1.Common methodology for Angolan trainers simulating clinical scenarios and performing some shared sessions with European partners. 2.A training program for Angolan universities in nursing education. 3.Deployment tool kit: guidance to the CLINICALSIM methodology in nursing curricula. 4.New laboratories and digital infrastructures: clinical simulation centre(high-fidelity simulation suite), simulated scenarios(multimedia),student reporting and reflection tool,Service-Learning management tool. Target groups: 1.University students in nursing:+350 on-site +1000 online 2.University teachers in nursing:+50 on-site +300 online 3.Confederates in clinical simulation:+25 on-site +35 online 4.Higher Education managers in Health Sciences:+30 on-site +50 online 5.Health Policymakers/Public adm./Nurses’Associations:+15 on-site +50 online 6.Community(potential patients):+1050 on-site
