"She says her name is Ella": navigating transgender inclusion in simulation with student nurses

2023-06-04, Ciardulli, Melissa

This pilot project was created for an intraprofessional workshop engaging Stage2 Diploma of Nursing students and Year 2 Bachelor of Nursing students at a large educational institute in Melbourne. Our aim was to explore the understanding of the nursing student cohort regarding the importance of health disparity, expand knowledge and provide exceptional care, by improving inclusive language when caring for transgender patients. Students engaged in discussion in empathy and self-reflection before participating in an immersive Simulation scenario working with transgender actors through themes of diversity, inclusion and patient advocacy.
