Abstract
Contemporary health care is increasingly being located in the community.
From the evident changes in demographics and general health, it can be
derived that the people whom student nurses care for are likely to have
multiple comorbidities and be vulnerable to clinical deterioration. These
nurses are required to develop a range of transferrable skills to meet the
demands of the population. The challenge for educators of preregistration
student nurses is to develop educational strategies to prepare them
with the skills, knowledge, and confidence necessary to recognise and
manage deterioration appropriately in any context. This article is the
first of two papers discussing the stimulus, design, and delivery of an
educational innovation that focuses on the recognition and management
of the deteriorating patient. The article explores current literature
about community-focused simulation highlighting the potential learning
opportunities resulting from contextualising simulation scenarios specific to
the community setting. Our Research Report for 2000-2002 reflects an outstanding level of achievement throughout the institution and demonstrates once again our high level of commitment to strategic and applied research particularly in areas that enhance the quality of life.
