Abstract

Background: Simulation-based training for healthcare providers was established as an efficacious training tool to sharpen the performance skills of nontechnical team as necessary for the prevention of errors and adverse events in the pandemic. To tackle this third wave, our institute started preparations with a faculty development course of simulation-based learning to evaluate participants' knowledge and skills and their attitudes and feedback.

Materials and methods: As part of the simulation workshop, a module was developed to train the staff on recognizing and responding to acute coronavirus disease 2019 affecting adults and children. Case-based scenarios were provided in the application. Pretest and posttest questionnaires were administered to all trainees. The questionnaires included questions on knowledge, skills confidence and attitude marked on a 5-point Likert scale. Data were entered and analyzed using the Microsoft Excel 2018. Qualitative variables were expressed as percentages, whereas mean and standard deviations were computed for quantitative variables. Paired t-test was used to test the difference between pre and post test scores; P < 0.05 was taken as significant value.

Results: A total of 296 participants were included in the study. A statistically significant increase in knowledge and skills confidence scores was found from pre-test to post-test. The most significant improvement was found in the assessment of pediatric hemodynamic status and the management of fluid and electrolytes. The most interesting benefit to the participants was the acquisition of knowledge about the proper use of technology after the faculty development course.

Conclusions: Such workshops play a crucial role in training healthcare workers, especially as preparation for the pandemic. Most participants suggested that there should be such workshops at regular intervals to enhance their skills confidence in handling emergency situations in the clinical settings.

三级医疗保健中心医护人员模拟技能评估:基于2019冠状病毒病(COVID-19)第三波准备的视角
背景:为医疗保健提供者建立了基于模拟的培训,作为一种有效的培训工具,以提高非技术团队的工作技能,这是预防大流行中的错误和不良事件所必需的。为了应对第三次浪潮,我们学院开始准备一个基于模拟学习的教师发展课程,以评估参与者的知识和技能以及他们的态度和反馈。材料和方法:作为模拟讲习班的一部分,开发了一个模块,用于培训工作人员识别和应对影响成人和儿童的2019年急性冠状病毒病。应用程序中提供了基于案例的场景。对所有受训者进行测试前和测试后问卷调查。问卷包括知识、技能、信心和态度等问题,李克特评分为5分。使用Microsoft Excel 2018输入和分析数据。定性变量以百分比表示,定量变量计算平均值和标准差。配对t检验检验测试前后得分的差异;P < 0.05为差异有统计学意义。结果:共有296名参与者被纳入研究。从统计上看,知识和技能自信得分从测试前到测试后都有显著的提高。最显著的改善是在儿科血流动力学状态评估和液体和电解质管理方面。参加者最感兴趣的收获是在教师发展课程后,获得了正确使用科技的知识。结论:此类讲习班在培训卫生工作者方面发挥着至关重要的作用,特别是在为大流行做准备方面。大多数与会者建议,应定期举办此类讲习班,以提高他们在临床环境中处理紧急情况的技能和信心。
