MONTREAL & BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--UbiSim (www.ubisimvr.com), the world’s first immersive virtual reality (VR) training platform built specifically for nurses and nursing simulation by Labster (www.labster.com), now includes more opportunities for practicing sensitive therapeutic communications with marginalized patients as well as new functionality for creating custom scenarios.

蒙特利尔和波士顿--（商业新闻短讯）--UbiSim（www.ubisimvr.com）是世界上第一个沉浸式虚拟现实（VR）培训平台，专门为护士和护理模拟构建，由Labster（www.Labster.com）提供，现在包括更多与边缘化患者进行敏感治疗沟通的机会，以及创建自定义场景的新功能。

UbiSim version 1.14 includes the first UbiSim nursing VR scenario dedicated to the care of a transgender patient, a VR scenario focusing on an older Black patient with Alzheimer’s disease, and a VR customization for simulating a nasogastric tube insertion..

UbiSim版本1.14包括第一个专门用于照顾变性患者的UbiSim护理VR场景，一个专注于患有阿尔茨海默氏病的老年黑人患者的VR场景，以及一个用于模拟鼻胃管插入的VR定制。。

Realistic simulations and hands-on experiences in a safe environment can help nurse learners develop clinical judgment and communication skills essential to improving Next Generation NCLEX test scores and bolster the soft and hard skills necessary to excel as a nurse. The “anytime, anywhere” accessibility of VR scenarios overcomes limited access to hospitals and other clinical training sites.

在安全的环境中进行真实的模拟和实践经验可以帮助护士学习者发展临床判断和沟通技能，这对于提高下一代NCLEX考试成绩至关重要，并增强作为护士取得优异成绩所必需的软技能和硬技能。VR场景的“随时随地”可访问性克服了对医院和其他临床培训网站的有限访问。

The complete UbiSim catalog of company-made and user-generated scenarios gives nurse learners the opportunity to practice a large variety of patient encounters based on real-world nursing in the areas of Nursing Fundamentals, Medical-Surgical 1, Medical-Surgical 2, Obstetrics, Pediatrics, and Mental Health, in an inpatient or outpatient setting..

公司制作和用户生成场景的完整UbiSim目录为护士学习者提供了机会，可以在住院或门诊环境中，在护理基础知识，医疗外科1，医疗外科2，产科，儿科和心理健康领域，根据现实护理实践各种各样的患者遭遇。。

“An enormous benefit of VR-based training is that it allows nurse learners to engage in more frequent practice before they encounter real patients, including in rare, specialized, or critical cases,” said UbiSim Lead Nurse Educator Christine Vogel, MSN, RN, CHSE, CHSOS. “We see the new scenarios as part of our ongoing commitment to prepare nurse learners for safe and effective care for all patients, which includes practicing sensitive therapeutic communications in situations and with people that may extend beyond their previous life experiences.”.

UbiSim首席护士教育者Christine Vogel，MSN，RN，CHSE，CHSOS说：“基于虚拟现实的培训的一个巨大好处是，它可以让护士学习者在遇到真正的病人之前进行更频繁的练习，包括在罕见的，专业的或危急的情况下。”。“我们将新的情景视为我们持续承诺的一部分，为护士学习者为所有患者提供安全有效的护理，其中包括在可能超出其先前生活经历的情况下和与人进行敏感的治疗沟通。”。

The two new scenarios in the UbiSim catalog have the goal of preparing nurse learners to approach transgender patients with sensitivity and respect, and to treat Alzheimer’s dementia sufferers with patience and consideration.

UbiSim目录中的两个新场景的目标是使护士学习者能够敏感和尊重地接近变性患者，并耐心和周到地治疗阿尔茨海默氏痴呆症患者。

Alzheimer’s Disease: Patient Morgan Therin, an older Black man, is experiencing agitation and refusing care due to Alzheimer's disease. Learners practice administering medications and providing therapeutic communication to assist Morgan in this scenario that aligns with Nursing Fundamentals. Research by the Alzheimer’s Association finds that older Black Americans are “twice as likely as older Whites to have Alzheimer's or another dementia” for still-undetermined causes, and half have experienced discrimination while seeking care for a person living with Alzheimer's..

阿尔茨海默氏病：患者摩根·瑟林（MorganTherin）是一名年长的黑人，由于阿尔茨海默氏病（Alzheimer's Disease），正在经历激动和拒绝治疗。学习者练习服用药物和提供治疗沟通，以帮助Morgan在这种情况下符合护理基础。阿尔茨海默氏病协会的研究发现，美国黑人老年人患阿尔茨海默氏病或其他痴呆症的可能性是白人老年人的两倍，原因尚未确定，一半人在寻求阿尔茨海默氏病患者的护理时受到歧视。。

Acute Abdominal Pain: Learners care for Skylar Holmes, a male transgender patient, to practice providing therapeutic communication and nursing care that are sensitive, respectful, and inclusive in this scenario that aligns with Medical-Surgical 1. A new Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) report found that lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) adults are “twice as likely as non-LGBT adults to report negative experiences while receiving health care” including being treated unfairly or with disrespect, which made them less likely to seek health care or caused them to switch health care providers..

急性腹痛：学习者照顾男性跨性别患者Skylar Holmes，练习在这种情况下提供敏感，尊重和包容的治疗沟通和护理，这与医疗外科1相一致。凯撒家庭基金会（KFF）的一份新报告发现，女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋和变性（LGBT）成年人“在接受医疗保健时报告负面经历的可能性是非LGBT成年人的两倍”，包括受到不公平或不尊重的待遇，这使得他们不太可能寻求医疗保健或导致他们更换医疗保健提供者。。

As part of the UbiSim commitment to scenario diversity and inclusion, a previous platform update added male transgender undergarments in an Obstetrics patient scenario. The option of a gray chest binder and briefs in addition to the previously default pink maternity wear is intended to be representative of a transgender patient who has not undergone gender-affirming surgery..

作为UbiSim对情景多样性和包容性承诺的一部分，之前的平台更新在产科患者情景中增加了男性变性内衣。除了之前默认的粉红色孕妇装之外，灰色胸夹和内裤的选择旨在代表未接受性别确认手术的变性患者。。

“Within Labster, our dedication resonates strongly with expanding pathways to inclusive learning via immersive digital engagements in STEM and healthcare,” articulated Shawn Boom, chief executive officer of Labster and parent company of UbiSim. “As we advance and diversify the UbiSim scenario portfolio, our commitment to thoughtfully crafted educational experiences persists.

Labster首席执行官兼UbiSim母公司肖恩·布姆（ShawnBoom）表示：“在Labster内部，我们的奉献精神与通过STEM和医疗保健的沉浸式数字参与扩展包容性学习的途径产生了强烈的共鸣。”。“随着我们推进UbiSim情景组合并使其多样化，我们对精心设计的教育体验的承诺依然存在。

We aim to empower nursing students in their readiness to navigate real-life situations with individuals of diverse backgrounds—embracing patients of all ages, races, ethnicities, genders, and cognitive abilities. We believe this approach will help students enhance their therapeutic communication and elevate their standards of patient care.”.

我们的目标是使护理学生能够随时掌握现实生活中的情况，拥有不同背景的个人，包括所有年龄，种族，种族，性别和认知能力的患者。我们相信这种方法将帮助学生加强他们的治疗沟通，提高他们的病人护理标准。”。

Customizing scenarios

自定义方案

A distinguishing feature of the UbiSim platform is that it enables educators without knowledge of programming or coding to create new VR scenarios and customize existing VR scenarios. For example, scenario creators can select patient, family, and caregiver characters from the existing UbiSim catalog representing a diverse group of races and ethnicities, allowing nurse educators to offer students more opportunities to practice offering culturally competent care..

UbiSim平台的一个显著特点是，它使不懂编程或编码的教育者能够创建新的VR场景并定制现有的VR场景。例如，情景创作者可以从现有的UbiSim目录中选择代表不同种族和种族的患者，家庭和护理人员角色，使护士教育工作者能够为学生提供更多的机会来实践提供具有文化能力的护理。。

In addition to the two new scenarios, updates to the UbiSim platform include a major new functionality related to the UbiSim intuitive editor. This innovation introduces a nasogastric (NG) tube, a medical catheter inserted through the nose into the stomach in which gastric suctioning can also be performed.

除了这两个新场景之外，UbiSim平台的更新还包括与UbiSim直观编辑器相关的主要新功能。这项创新引入了鼻胃管（NG），这是一种通过鼻子插入胃的医用导管，也可以在其中进行胃吸痰。

Nurse educators can now customize their UbiSim nursing scenarios by adding an NG tube, while nurse learners are able to install an NG tube on any patient within the simulations..

护士教育者现在可以通过添加NG管来定制他们的UbiSim护理场景，而护士学习者可以在模拟中的任何患者身上安装NG管。。
