| Popis: | Partial-task trainers are wonderful tools for teaching particular skills and allowing a novice learner to progress toward mastery of those psychomotor skills. They also allow the more advanced learner to maintain and fine-tune their skills. The partial-task trainers also eliminate wear and tear on mid- to high-fidelity mannequins that could be used to teach the same skills but at a much higher cost when the labor of replacing the arm on the mannequin is included. Partial-task trainers have been used for teaching airway management, intravenous (IV) catheter placement, central line placement, and pelvic examinations. They have been purchased to facilitate learning of lumbar punctures, as well as spinal and epidural anesthesia. Once manual dexterity skills have been acquired, many of these partial-task trainers can be used in conjunction with a live person who acts as the patient. This hybrid pairing encourages and ensures that the student not only masters the technical skill, but also learns and practices appropriate communication with the patient. For example, the pelvic simulator helps the student to become comfortable with the steps of the pelvic examination and with the different instruments that are used during an examination (i.e., speculum, culture swab). The student also learns how to ergonomically position himself in regard to the patient and the tools used during the examination. By having a person give a voice to the patient, the student now has to introduce herself to the patient—check to make sure that the patient has no questions about the upcoming examination and has voided—and explain what she is doing as she proceeds with the exam. |
