Wounds affect all ages of Canadians and cost the Canadian health care system an estimated $3.9 billion annually\u00b9. These wounds profoundly impact psychosocial health and quality of life for our patients.<\/span> <\/span><\/font><\/span>Educating nurses on the prevention, assessment and management of wounds will help reduce the burden on the patients and to the healthcare system. <\/span><\/p><\/p>\n<\/div>

Why Virtual Simulation?<\/h2>\n<\/div>

Virtual simulation is an innovative approach to learning which incorporates various adult learning theories including gamification and immediate feedback. Virtual simulation is a convenient and accessible way to educate nurses.<\/p>\n

Utilizing a series of virtual simulation games with both self-assessment and formal assessment tools, students, educators and health professionals can improve wound care knowledge, skill and judgement on the four common wound classifications: (1) Pressure injuries, (2) Venous insufficiency ulcers, (3) Diabetic foot ulcers and (4) surgical wounds.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
