Abstract

Background

The study assessed a distance simulation and education intervention designed to improve nursing empowerment in the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) in Korle Bu Teaching Hospital (KBTH) in Ghana.

Methods

This was a single center, mixed methods, longitudinal simulation-based pilot study. A distance pediatric critical care nursing curriculum that combined interactive learning via Zoom and distance simulation using the Virtual Resus Room was designed and delivered from the United States to KBTH PICU nursing staff.

Results

The Clinical Teamwork Scale, used to assess team performance after each simulation, demonstrated an upward trend over time in all categories. The modified Simulation Effectiveness Tool was utilized to evaluate the learners' perceptions of the effectiveness of the simulation in meeting their learning objectives. Qualitative content analysis of this free-text feedback highlighted the course's educational content, organizational aspects, learning experience, simulation case scenarios and relevance to pediatric critical care in Ghana.

Conclusions

A distance pediatric critical care nursing curriculum, relevant to local practice and resources, was implemented through an international partnership and contributed to nursing empowerment through improved learning and confidence.

在加纳阿克拉通过远程教育和模拟提高儿科危重症护理能力

背景该研究评估了旨在提高加纳科勒布教学医院（KBTH）儿科重症监护病房（PICU）护理能力的远程模拟和教育干预措施。设计了一套远程儿科重症监护护理课程，该课程结合了通过 Zoom 进行的互动学习和使用虚拟 Resus 室进行的远程模拟，由美国向 KBTH PICU 的护理人员提供。修改后的 "模拟效果工具 "用于评估学员对模拟教学在实现其学习目标方面的效果的看法。对这些自由文本反馈的定性内容分析强调了课程的教育内容、组织方面、学习体验、模拟案例情景以及与加纳儿科危重症护理的相关性。结论通过国际合作实施了与当地实践和资源相关的远程儿科危重症护理课程，并通过提高学习能力和信心增强了护理能力。

期刊介绍： Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation. We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria: Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation Leadership for simulation Simulation operations Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
