Abstract

Background: Simulation-based research is becoming a major focus area for the advancement of healthcare simulation in Korea. However, many theoretical and conceptual frameworks, rules and principles, and system development are rooted from the Western culture. Therefore, language is a challenge. At times, translation of the materials and terminology are difficult to translate, especially when it does not exist in Korean language. A lack of consensus exists about terminology translation and interpretation of healthcare simulation language across the users in Korea.
Methods: This work is a proceeding of a consensus workshop, intended to clarify and standardize translation of healthcare simulation terminology into Korean by reaching consensus among a group of experts.
Results: Out of 40 invited experts, 31 (78%) agreed to participate but 3 people failed to show up. The consensus was a 1-day workshop. The panels were divided into four groups. Each group would discuss and come up with unanimous decision of translations. The final consensus was reached by majority votes. The participants were composed of six different disciplines in the healthcare simulation field. A total of 190 terminologies were selected for translation. At the final voting, 97% of terminology reached consensus with approval vote ranging from 54-93%.
Conclusions: Although the validity and reliability have not been scientifically established for a formal consensus, achieving standardization of translation of common healthcare simulation terminology into Korean would provide a foundation for furthering the advancement of the practice and research in healthcare simulation.
