Aims and scope
Advances in Simulation provides a forum to share scholarly practice to advance the use of simulation in the context of health and social care.
Advances in Simulation publishes articles that cover all science and social science disciplines, all health and social care professions and multi- and inter-professional studies. The journal includes articles relevant to simulation that include the study of health care practice, human factors, psychology, sociology, anthropology, communication, teamwork, human performance, education, learning technology, economics, biomedical engineering, anatomy, physiology, pharmacology, therapeutics, scientific computation, simulation modelling, population studies, theatre, craft, program evaluation and more.
Featured article: Do clinicians need hot-seat stress to improve?
Active ‘hands-on’ participation in the ‘hot-seat’ during immersive simulation-based training (SBT) induces stress for participants, which is believed to be necessary to improve performance. In this study, Bong et al. suggest that directed observers may benefit from immersive SBT even without repeated ‘hands-on’ experience and stress in the hot-seat.

Complexity in simulation-based education: exploring the role of hindsight bias

Featured article: Optimizing observer roles in simulation
In this systematic review, O’Regan et al. examine the evidence for learning methods that employ directed observation as an alternative to hands-on participation in scenario-based simulation training. They find that learning outcomes and role satisfaction for observers is improved through learner engagement and the use of observer tools.
Society affiliation
Advances in Simulation is the official journal of the Society in Europe for Simulation Applied to Medicine (SESAM).
SESAM was founded in 1994 in Copenhagen and aims to encourage and support the use of simulation in health care and medicine for the purpose of training and research. Key roles of SESAM are to develop and support the application of simulation in education, research, and quality management by facilitating collaborations and the exchange of technology and knowledge throughout Europe.
