Nurses working in China do not have access to hospital data, access to professional organizations, or to the internet for reviewing evidence-based practice (EBP). Chinese healthcare organizational leaders are seeking international support to provide nurse leaders with necessary skills to lead China based organizations in safe, quality, healthcare delivery.

With the opening of a new hospital in Yinchuan, China, it is imperative to ensure that a climate of collaboration, teamwork, and clear communication methods exist between nurses, doctors, and other interprofessional staff members. Evidence indicates that use of simulation with standardized communication tools and processes (use of Situation-Background- Assessment-Recommendation [SBAR], TeamSTEPPS, and checklists) can facilitate interprofessional collaboration and teamwork and improve communication among interprofessional staff. Designing effective simulation scenarios with sensitivity to Chinese culture, with an interprofessional staff will enhance quality and patient safety in Chinese hospitals.

Background: Communication is a critical healthcare skill; communication errors in healthcare settings have produced sentinel events and caused patient deaths. Situation, Background, Assessment, Recommendation (SBAR), a standardized clinical communication format, is being introduced in nursing education to support early development of successful inter-professional communication. Role modeling has been shown to be an effective way to teach students complex communication skills.

Method: Pre-licensure nursing students participated in a high fidelity simulation experience. One group of students viewed a video role modeling SBAR before beginning the simulation (N=20). Student communication using SBAR was evaluated after the simulation experience for both groups. The second group of students did not view the video role modeling SBAR until after completing the simulation (N=20).
Results: Viewing a role modeling video on SBAR before participating in a simulation had no effect on the students SBAR performance after the simulation. The students’ evaluation of the video reported the video provided a clear, helpful demonstration of the SBAR communication method.

Conclusion: Role modeling can be used to improve students’ ability to apply SBAR, however more research needs to be done to determine the most effective way to role model the behavior.
