Introduction
The model I have selected for my reflections on the immersive simulation is the model by Gi
s. It aims at evaluating an experience, and owing to its cyclic character, it adapts itself towards repeated encounters, enabling individuals to be educated and prepared for things that have gone wrong or well (Ardian et al., 2019). My reflection on the simulation will be based on the scenario description, my feelings, evaluation, analysis, conclusion, and action part.
Description
Rosie, a 5-year-old girl, is under care. She is a paediatric respiratory patient. From my perspective, the most challenging part is communicating with her as she is a child, ensuring that the medication is safe, using various approaches and role-playing when providing the medication. Rosie was speaking in short phrases and did not want to engage with nurses when questioned. After conducting ABCD assessment for her, I recognised that salbutamol is required to be administered via spacer. However, on observing Rosie’s behaviour, I got confused and hence stuck. I was afraid of child's negative reaction if I use traditional way of administering the medication. At that moment, I was emba
assed that I hadn't been able to persuade her as a caretaker. I became stuck, not giving her the medication required at the moment. Later, my teacher came, who responsively dealt with that child while giving me some advice and helping me improve my communication with that child. As a nurse, my ability to communicate was challenged.
Feeling
This scenario surprised me. Since I got stuck and could not administer medication to the child, I realised I did not respond appropriately. The immediate thoughts were of disgrace and dismay, driven by a paucity of confidence. Student nurses are taught the ways to practise in a professional context. Whilst impulses, as well as instincts, are crucial, this is a structured process. As a corollary, once I contravene practise despite being informed of the conduct, it can be an unsettling and unpleasant experience. In addition, I needed the competence or conviction to tackle this issue sensitively. I assume my negative feelings made it extremely difficult for me to engage appropriately. When I attended this simulation facility, I had been nervous and realised as if all of the concepts and competence I had studied had vanished. I was afraid that in a real-life setting, my competencies would be insufficient and that this would make it difficult to practise in real-life scenarios.
