Description
The Cultural Responsiveness and Inclusion Evaluation Tool for Health-Related Simulation is a comprehensive instrument our team designed to evaluate effectiveness of culturally responsive teaching within simulation scenarios. This tool seeks to evaluate how the inclusion of diverse patient scenarios and culturally congruent information enhances the learner experience in health-related simulations. This tool was developed in conjunction with faculty from Bangalore Baptist Hospital Rebekah Ann Naylor Institute of Nursing, a leading nursing school in India and key partner of Belmont University. Through co-creation and co-development of this tool, we were able to create common definitions related to cultural congruence, psychological safety, and learning objectives. After receiving validation from international simulation experts in six countries, this tool was piloted in Bangalore, India with over 450 students from multiple regional nursing schools. This was conducted while providing simulation exercises designed to improve skills in neonatal resuscitation, as India has one of the worst neonatal mortality rates in the world. This tool addresses a critical need to not only provide education to improve local and global health disparities, but further compels educators to consider how the use of culturally congruent information and diversity in patient scenarios can serve to enhance learning abilities for all
