Can-Sim schistosomiasis simulation for nurses: A Dutch, Tanzanian and Canadian co-creation
In 2023, a Tanzanian, Dutch, and Canadian collaborative effort resulted in a digital simulation for nursing students about schistosomiasis, Can-Sim on Schistosomiasis. The simulation offers students to practice clinical reasoning skills in a safe environment. The simulation was developed at Shirati College of Health Sciences, Tanzania. This essay aims to describe the developmental process and the lessons learned and to disseminate the (free) simulation to nursing colleges in African countries that struggle with schistosomiasis.
