RESUMEN

To prepare medical students appropriately for the management of toxicological emergencies, we have developed a simulation-based medical education (SBME) training in acute clinical toxicology. Our aim is to report on the feasibility, evaluation and lessons learned of this training. Since 2019, each year approximately 180 fifth-year medical students are invited to participate in the SBME training. The training consists of an interactive lecture and two SBME stations. For each station, a team of students had to perform the primary assessment and management of an intoxicated patient. After the training, the students completed a questionnaire about their experiences and confidence in clinical toxicology. Overall, the vast majority of students agreed that the training provided a fun, interactive and stimulating way to teach about clinical toxicology. Additionally, they felt more confident regarding their skills in this area. Our pilot study shows that SBME training was well-evaluated and feasible over a longer period.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Shoulder dystocia is a relatively uncommon but serious childbirth-related emergency. AIM: To explore the improvement and retention of skills in shoulder dystocia management through high-fidelity simulation training. METHODS: The SAFE (SimulAtion high-FidElity) study was a prospective cohort study that utilised a high-fidelity birth simulator. Registered midwives and final year midwifery students were invited to participate in a one-day workshop at 6-monthly intervals. There was a 30-minute initial assessment, a 30-minute theoretical and hands-on training, and a 30-minute post-training assessment on shoulder dystocia management. Pre-training and post-training values for the predetermined outcomes were compared. In each workshop we assessed the proportion of successful simulated births, the performance of manoeuvres to manage shoulder dystocia, the head-to-body birth time, the fetal head traction force, the quality of communication, the perception of time-to-birth, and the self-reported confidence levels. FINDINGS: The baseline workshop recruited 101 participants that demonstrated a significant increase in the proportion of successful simulated births (8.9% vs 93.1%), and a two-fold to three-fold increase in the score of manoeuvres, communication, and confidence after training. Those with low pre-training levels of competency and confidence improved the most post-training at baseline. There was a retention of manoeuvres, communication skills and confidence at 6 months. There was no reduction in fetal head traction force over time. Those being proficient before initial training retained and performed best at the 6-month follow-up. CONCLUSION: The SAFE study found a significant improvement in skills and confidence after the initial high-fidelity simulation training that were retained after 6 months.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Viscoelastic hemostatic assays, such as rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM) or thromboelastography, enable prompt diagnosis and accelerate targeted treatment. However, the complex interpretation of the results remains challenging. Visual Clot-a situation awareness-based visualization technology-was developed to assist clinicians in interpreting viscoelastic tests. OBJECTIVE: Following a previous high-fidelity simulation study, we analyzed users' perceptions of the technology, to identify its strengths and limitations from clinicians' perspectives. METHODS: This is a mixed qualitative-quantitative study consisting of interviews and a survey. After solving coagulation scenarios using Visual Clot in high-fidelity simulations, we interviewed anesthesia personnel about the perceived advantages and disadvantages of the new tool. We used a template approach to identify dominant themes in interview responses. From these themes, we defined 5 statements, which were then rated on Likert scales in a questionnaire. RESULTS: We interviewed 77 participants and 23 completed the survey. We identified 9 frequently mentioned topics by analyzing the interview responses. The most common themes were "positive design features," "intuitive and easy to learn," and "lack of a quantitative component." In the survey, 21 respondents agreed that Visual Clot is easy to learn and 16 respondents stated that a combination of Visual Clot and ROTEM would help them manage complex hemostatic situations. CONCLUSIONS: A group of anesthesia care providers found Visual Clot well-designed, intuitive, and easy to learn. Participants highlighted its usefulness in emergencies, especially for clinicians inexperienced in coagulation management. However, the lack of quantitative information is an area for improvement.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Emergency medicine is particularly well suited to simulation training. However, evidence for the efficacy of simulation-based medical training remains limited especially to manage high-risk cases such as acute asthma. OBJECTIVE: The objective of our study was to compare the performance of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) and interactive video-case challenge-based training (IVC) for final-year medical students in the management of acute asthma. METHODS: This was a prospective randomized controlled study conducted at the emergency department (ED) of Monastir University hospital ( Tunisia). 69 final-year medical students were randomized to HFS (n = 34) and IVC (n = 35) training on acute asthma topic. The study was conducted over a 1-week period. Efficacy of each teaching method was compared through the use of multiple-choice questionnaires (MCQ) before (pre-test), after (post-test) training and a simulation scenario test conducted 1 week later. The scenario was based on acute asthma management graded on predefined critical actions using two scores: the checklist clinical score (range 0 to 30), and the team skills score (range 0 to 16). Student satisfaction was also evaluated with the Likert 5 points scale. Two years after the post-test, both groups underwent a third MCQ testing to assess sustainability of knowledge. RESULTS: There were no differences in age between groups. There was no statistically significant difference between the HFS and IVC groups pre-test scores (p = 0.07). Both groups demonstrated improvement in MCQ post-test from baseline after training session; the HFS MCQ post-test score increased significantly more than the IVC score (p < 0.001). The HFS group performed better than the IVC group on the acute asthma simulation scenario (p < 0.001). Mean checklist clinical score and mean team skills score were significantly higher in HFS group compared to IVC group (respectively 22.9 ± 4.8 and 11.5 ± 2.5 in HFS group vs 19.1 ± 3 and 8.4 ± 3.1 in IVC group) (p < 0.001). After 2 years, MCQ post-test scores decreased in both groups but the decrease was lower in HFS group compared to the IVC group. CONCLUSION: High-fidelity simulation-based training was superior to interactive video-case challenge for teaching final year medical students,and led to more long-term knowledge retention in the management of simulated acute asthma patients. TRIAL REGISTRATION: The study was registered at www. CLINICALTRIALS: gov NCT02776358 on 18/05/2016.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The embedded participant (EP) plays a key role during a full scale/high-fidelity simulation (HFS) session. He/she is expected to guide the learner towards the achievement of the educational objectives of the scenario. However, his/her influence on learners' performance stands undetermined and this effect remains briefly addressed in the literature. This study primarily aims to assess whether the EP could have an influence on the performance of the learner during a HFS scenario. The secondary aim was to establish an inventory of the EP practices in France. METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted in Lyon Claude Bernard University Health Simulation Centre (France). Anaesthesia and critical care residents in postgraduate years 1 to 5 who were scheduled for their HFS sessions during the 2016 to 2021 academic years were included. Two investigators independently evaluated the resident performance regarding both technical and non-technical skills from video recordings. In addition, a nationwide survey was sent out by email through the networks of the Francophone Healthcare Simulation Society (SoFraSimS, Société Francophone de Simulation en Santé) to collect information on EP practices in French-speaking Simulation centres. RESULTS: From a total of 344 HFS videos analysed, a cohort of 19 experienced EPs was identified. The EPs had an influence on the technical and non-technical performances of the learners. The 147 responses to the survey showed that predefined rules of EP good practice existed in only 36% of the simulation centres and 65% of respondents believed that specific EP training would be justified. CONCLUSION: The EP can exert an influence on the performance of the learners during HFS. For acting as an EP, a great variability of practices and a lack of training are reported by professionals working in simulation centres. These results suggest that more attention must be paid to EP training and attitudes during simulation, especially if summative simulations are extensively developed.

RESUMEN

PROBLEM: Implementation of competency-based medical education has necessitated more frequent trainee assessments. Use of simulation as an assessment tool is limited by access to trained examiners, cost, and concerns with interrater reliability. Developing an automated tool for pass/fail assessment of trainees in simulation could improve accessibility and quality assurance of assessments. This study aimed to develop an automated assessment model using deep learning techniques to assess performance of anesthesiology trainees in a simulated critical event. APPROACH: The authors retrospectively analyzed anaphylaxis simulation videos to train and validate a deep learning model. They used an anaphylactic shock simulation video database from an established simulation curriculum, integrating a convenience sample of 52 usable videos. The core part of the model, developed between July 2019 and July 2020, is a bidirectional transformer encoder. OUTCOMES: The main outcome was the F1 score, accuracy, recall, and precision of the automated assessment model in analyzing pass/fail of trainees in simulation videos. Five models were developed and evaluated. The strongest model was model 1 with an accuracy of 71% and an F1 score of 0.68. NEXT STEPS: The authors demonstrated the feasibility of developing a deep learning model from a simulation database that can be used for automated assessment of medical trainees in a simulated anaphylaxis scenario. The important next steps are to (1) integrate a larger simulation dataset to improve the accuracy of the model; (2) assess the accuracy of the model on alternative anaphylaxis simulations, additional medical disciplines, and alternative medical education evaluation modalities; and (3) gather feedback from education leadership and clinician educators surrounding the perceived strengths and weaknesses of deep learning models for simulation assessment. Overall, this novel approach for performance prediction has broad implications in medical education and assessment.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Guidelines recommend using viscoelastic coagulation tests to guide coagulation management, but interpreting the results remains challenging. Visual Clot, a 3D animated blood clot, facilitates interpretation through a user-centered and situation awareness-oriented design. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to compare the effects of Visual Clot versus conventional viscoelastic test results (rotational thrombelastometry [ROTEM] temograms) on the coagulation management performance of anesthesia teams in critical bleeding situations. METHODS: We conducted a prospective, randomized, high-fidelity simulation study in which anesthesia teams (consisting of a senior anesthesiologist, a resident anesthesiologist, and an anesthesia nurse) managed perioperative bleeding scenarios. Teams had either Visual Clot or ROTEM temograms available to perform targeted coagulation management. We analyzed the 15-minute simulations with post hoc video analysis. The primary outcome was correct targeted coagulation therapy. Secondary outcomes were time to targeted coagulation therapy, confidence, and workload. In addition, we have conducted a qualitative survey on user acceptance of Visual Clot. We used Poisson regression, Cox regression, and mixed logistic regression models, adjusted for various potential confounders, to analyze the data. RESULTS: We analyzed 59 simulations. Teams using Visual Clot were more likely to deliver the overall targeted coagulation therapy correctly (rate ratio 1.56, 95% CI 1.00-2.47; P=.05) and administer the first targeted coagulation product faster (hazard ratio 2.58, 95% CI 1.37-4.85; P=.003). In addition, participants showed higher decision confidence with Visual Clot (odds ratio 3.60, 95% CI 1.49-8.71; P=.005). We found no difference in workload (coefficient -0.03, 95% CI -3.08 to 2.88; P=.99). CONCLUSIONS: Using Visual Clot led to a more accurate and faster-targeted coagulation therapy than using ROTEM temograms. We suggest that relevant viscoelastic test manufacturers consider augmenting their complex result presentation with intuitive, easy-to-understand visualization to ease users' burden from unnecessary cognitive load and enhance patient care.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: The most effective training methods are experiential, including those focused on experiences and emotions. Clinical simulation, especially high-fidelity simulation, is one of the most effective methodologies for the acquisition of competencies in care like palliative care. The simulation with actors can train future healthcare science professionals: in technical, intellectual, or interpersonal skills. The objective is to evaluate high-fidelity simulation with actors as a tool in palliative care training for nursing students. METHOD: Over three years, the study was conducted in a Faculty of Nursing of the south of Spain with nursing students. A mixed methods study with sequential explanatory design in three moments was conducted: (1) Quasi-experimental study in a single group (n = 12) before and after attending the palliative care course with Clinical Simulation with actors to assess the communication skills (CICAA scale), (2) Qualitative study with phenomenological perspective after Clinical Simulation (174 reflective students' narratives), (3) Cross-sectional observational study, one year later, to assess the transfer of knowledge and skills to the clinical practice (71 students). RESULTS: Students who interacted with actors in Clinical Simulation improved their communication skills and the ability to establish an effective helping relationship with both end-of-life patients and their families. The students perceived the Clinical Simulation as an innovative learning methodology that is useful to encourage reflection and transfer of learning during their clinical internship. CONCLUSIONS: Standardization of the use of active learning methodologies is recommended for a better acquisition of transversal skills such as communication skills in palliative care.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to assess the impact of a high-fidelity simulation interprofessional education (IPE) activity at a large, historically Black university (HBU) on perceptions of IPE. PARTICIPANTS: Student participants represented various allied health care professions; the majority were female and enrolled in the pharmacy professional program. Health administration, nutrition and dietetics, nursing, respiratory therapy, and clinical lab science programs were also represented. METHODS: Participants were randomly assigned to IPE teams of 6-7 individuals. The 1-day activity transpired at a high-fidelity simulation facility and included a pre-briefing, simulated scenario with high-fidelity mannequins, and a faculty-guided video-assisted debriefing session. The patient scenario was designed by subject area faculty experts and featured an adult patient on hemodialysis. Participants completed pre and post-activity questionnaires that included the Student Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical Education-Revised (SPICE-R) instrument. RESULTS: Participants completed pre (n=107) and post-activity (n=81) questionnaires. There was a significant increase from the pre-event (M=3.90, SD 0.91) and post-event score (M=4.22, SD 0.84) for the SPICE-R item regarding understanding "the roles of other professionals within the interdisciplinary team"; t(186)= -2.471, p=0.01. The SPICE-R item score for "health professionals should collaborate in teams" also significantly increased from the pre-event (M=4.28, SD 0.80) to the post-event (M=4.53, SD 0.73); t(186)= -2.209, p=0.03. CONCLUSIONS: Participation in a 1-day high-fidelity simulation-based IPE activity at a HBU has the potential to positively change students' perceptions of IPE. Future studies should consider the impact of IPE on perceptions of diversity.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Simulation is an increasingly used novel method for the education of medical professionals. This study aimed to systematically review the efficacy of high-fidelity (HF) simulation compared with low-fidelity (LF) simulation or no simulation in advanced life support (ALS) training. METHODS: A comprehensive search of the PubMed, Chinese Biomedicine Database, Embase, CENTRAL, ISI, and China Knowledge Resource Integrated Database was performed to identify randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that evaluated the use of HF simulation in ALS training. Quality assessment was based on the Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews of Interventions version 5.0.1. The primary outcome was the improvement of knowledge and skill performance. The secondary outcomes included the participants' confidence and satisfaction at the course conclusion, skill performance at one year, skill performance in actual resuscitation, and patient outcomes. Data were synthesized using the RevMan 5.4 software. RESULTS: Altogether, 25 RCTs with a total of 1,987 trainees were included in the meta-analysis. In the intervention group, 998 participants used HF manikins, whereas 989 participants received LF simulation-based or traditional training (classical training without simulation). Pooled data from the RCTs demonstrated a benefit in improvement of knowledge [standardized mean difference (SMD) = 0.38; 95% confidence interval (CI): 0.18-0.59, P = 0.0003, I2 = 70%] and skill performance (SMD = 0.63; 95% CI: 0.21-1.04, P = 0.003, I2 = 92%) for HF simulation when compared with LF simulation and traditional training. The subgroup analysis revealed a greater benefit in knowledge with HF simulation compared with traditional training at the course conclusion (SMD = 0.51; 95% CI: 0.20-0.83, P = 0.003, I2 = 61%). Studies measuring knowledge at three months, skill performance at one year, teamwork behaviors, participants' satisfaction and confidence demonstrated no significant benefit for HF simulation. CONCLUSIONS: Learners using HF simulation more significantly benefited from the ALS training in terms of knowledge and skill performance at the course conclusion. However, further research is necessary to enhance long-term retention of knowledge and skill in actual resuscitation and patient's outcomes.

RESUMEN

High-fidelity simulation (HFS) training is suited to high-stakes, uncommon situations such as malignant spinal cord compression (MSCC), allowing for rare hands-on practice. This pilot study was created as the first of its kind to examine educational outcomes of a radiation therapist (RTT)-led multidisciplinary radiation oncology (RO) emergency simulation course. A multidisciplinary course design team composed of RO residents, radiation oncologists, RTT course instructors, and medical physicists created a high-fidelity MSCC simulation course using collaboratively developed learning goals. Fifteen learners including RO residents, senior RTT students, and a medical physics (MP) resident participated in a live, RTT-facilitated simulation. Participants completed anonymized pre- and post-simulation standard interdisciplinary education perception (IEP) scales and a course evaluation assessing educational outcomes. Standard IEP questionnaire results showed highly favorable perceptions of respondents' own specialty and other allied specialties, with mean total pre-simulation scores of 91.76 and post-simulation scores of 94.23. The course evaluation assessed 10 learning objective domains, with significant improvements seen in self-rated post-course knowledge in 9 domains. Pre-course evaluations showed that 6/15 participants agreed or strongly agreed that they felt comfortable in their knowledge of all included domains; after course completion, 14/15 participants agreed or strongly agreed they felt comfortable in all domains. Collaboratively designed and led HFS courses are not only viable but can be an effective means of improving learning outcomes for RO residents, RTT students, and MP residents.

RESUMEN

INTRODUCTION: It is important for physicians to learn how to provide culturally sensitive care. Cultural humility is defined as a lifelong process with a goal of fixing power imbalances and creating institutional accountability through learning about another's culture as well as performing self-exploration about one's own beliefs, identities, and biases. One way to teach cultural humility in medicine is simulation. However, there are no peer-reviewed published studies that examine whether the skin tone or gender of the high-fidelity simulation manikins (HFSM) used by emergency medicine (EM) residency programs reflects the US population nor whether high-fidelity simulation is used to teach cultural humility. We aimed to address that gap in the literature. Our primary objective was to evaluate what proportion of EM residency programs use HFS to teach cultural humility. Our secondary objective was to evaluate whether the skin tone and gender breakdown of the EM residency program HFSM is representative of the US population. METHODS: We conducted a simple random sample of 80 EM residency programs to characterize HFSM and cultural humility training. Selected programs were emailed a questionnaire. Key outcomes included HFSM skin tone and gender and whether cultural humility was taught via HFSM. We calculated point and interval estimates for the proportion of dark-, medium-, and light-toned skin and the proportion of female and male manikins. Confidence intervals were employed to test the null hypothesis that dark/medium/light skin tone was 20/20/60 and that the female/male ratio was 50/50. Both ratios were extrapolated from the US Census data. RESULTS: Our response rate was 74% (59/80). Fifty-five of 59 EM residency programs that had manikins (0.93, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.88-0.99) reported data on a total of 348 manikins. Thirty-nine of the 55 programs with manikins reported using HFS to teach cultural humility (0.71, 95% CI 0.60-0.82). Proportions of light-, medium-, and dark-toned manikins were 0.52 (0.43-0.62), 0.38 (0.29-0.47), and 0.10 (0.07-0.14), respectively. Proportions of male and female HFSM were 0.69 (0.64-0.76) and 0.31 (0.24-0.36), respectively. The null hypotheses that skin tone follows a 60/20/20 split and gender follows a 50/50 split were rejected, as not all confidence intervals contained these hypothesized values. CONCLUSION: While most EM residency programs surveyed use high-fidelity simulation to teach cultural humility, the manikins do not reflect either the skin tone or gender of the US population.

RESUMEN

The utilization of simulation has proved to be a valuable tool to train students in the academic setting in preparation for the clinical environment. Student registered nurse anesthetists (SRNAs) receive limited education and training on the use of powered air-purifying respirators when caring for patients with highly infectious diseases (i.e., COVID-19). The purpose of this pilot study was to assess SRNAs' knowledge, self-confidence, and psychomotor skills for the safe performance of donning and doffing of powered air-purifying respirators while managing the airway. A single group pretest and posttest descriptive study was conducted over 7 months which included 45 SRNAs. There was a statistically significant increase in knowledge (P = < .001) and self-confidence (P = < .001) on safe donning and doffing of powered air-purifying respirators for emergent intubation. Descriptive statistics on the psychomotor skills revealed that the SRNAs were able to demonstrate donning and doffing of powered air-purifying respirators for emergent intubation during simulation. Findings suggest that simulation is an appropriate strategy and is relevant for nurse anesthesia educators to consider when training SRNAs to don and doff while managing the airway for patients with COVID-19.

RESUMEN

Introduction: Acute radiation syndrome (ARS) is a high-risk, low-frequency diagnosis that can be fatal and is difficult to diagnose without an obvious history of ionizing radiation exposure. Methods: Twenty-two emergency medicine residents and one pharmacy resident participated in an hour-long simulation session. To accommodate all learners, the simulation was conducted eight times over a block of scheduled time (two to four learners/session). Sessions included a prebriefing, pre/post questionnaires, the ARS case, and a debriefing. Learners evaluated and managed a 47-year-old male (manikin) with the hematopoietic and cutaneous subsyndromes of ARS who presented with hand pain/erythema/edema and underlying signs of infection 2 weeks after an unrecognized radiation exposure. Learners had to perform a history and physical, recognize/manage abnormal vitals, order/interpret labs, consult appropriate disciplines, and initiate supportive care. Results: There was a mean reported increase in ability to recognize signs and symptoms of ARS (p < .001) and appropriately manage a patient with this condition (p = .03) even after controlling for baseline confidence in ability to make and manage uncommon diagnoses, respectively. Learners rated this simulation as a valuable learning experience, effective in teaching them how to diagnose and treat ARS, and one they would recommend to other health care professionals. Discussion: This simulation aimed to teach the diagnosis and initial management of the hematopoietic and cutaneous subsyndromes of ARS. It should be used to increase awareness of the potential for ionizing radiation exposure under less obvious conditions and raise the index of suspicion for ARS in the undifferentiated patient.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: New nurses report feeling unprepared and having low levels of self-confidence. High-fidelity simulation (HFS) is frequently used to increase confidence and improve patient safety. This study assessed whether HFS training increased new nurses' self-confidence and activation of the rapid response team (RRT) when caring for patients with clinical deterioration. METHOD: A quality improvement design was used. New nurses on two units at a Level I trauma center completed a 70-minute HFS. The change in self-confidence was measured by Grundy's C-Scale, and the change in percentage of staff-initiated RRT calls versus auto-triggered calls was calculated 3 months after HFS. RESULTS: All 12 nurses who participated in the HFS showed improved self-confidence immediately after simulation. A Wilcox-on signed-rank paired data test showed statistically significantly improved confidence scores for all five items of the C-Scale from preintervention to immediately postintervention as well as 5 months later. One unit showed an increase in percentage of staff-initiated RRT calls 3 months postsimulation, and the other unit showed a decline in staff-initiated versus auto-triggered RRT calls. DISCUSSION: The HFS increased self-confidence scores from preintervention to immediately postintervention, with the increase sustained 5 months later. However, how this increase translated into practice when activating RRT calls cannot be determined because many factors can influence RRT call patterns. CONCLUSION: The literature review and study results suggest that HFS training embedded into an existing nurse residency program can build self-confidence in caring for patients with clinical deterioration.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The use of high-fidelity simulation (HFS) methods provides probable benefits and advantages for nursing students to retain knowledge, acquire skills, improve satisfaction, and gain self-confidence in a safe, realistic and supportive environment. OBJECTIVES: To evaluate the effect of HFS methods to develop Foley catheterization knowledge, skills, satisfaction and self-confidence among novice nursing students when compared to low-fidelity simulation (LFS). The specific aim was to examine the effects of outcome variables between the intervention group and the control group, through multi-group path analysis. DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial was designed. SETTINGS AND PARTICIPANTS: 80 nursing students were randomly assigned to the HFS group (high-fidelity manikin and scenario) and the LFS group (female catheterization simulator) at a nursing faculty between May and July 2019 in Türkiye. METHODS: The intervention group experienced HFS and the control group experienced LFS in order to learn Foley catheterization. Students' knowledge was evaluated before and after the intervention, while affective and psychomotor skills, and satisfaction and self-confidence in learning were evaluated after the intervention. RESULTS: The HFS group had better skill performance and significantly higher self-confidence in learning than the LFS group. While each group had a high level of knowledge, affective skills and satisfaction, there was no significant difference between the groups' mean scores. CONCLUSIONS: The HFS and scenario improved the knowledge, affective and psychomotor skills, satisfaction and self-confidence of novice nursing students on Foley catheterization. When compared to LFS, HFS had more advantages for the development of psychomotor skills and self-confidence in learning.

RESUMEN

Introduction: User satisfaction is a very important aspect in any management; it is defined as the concordance between expectations and the final perception regarding the factors that intervene in the provision of services; its evaluation is an indicator of continuous improvement, but expectations differ depending on the context and services; finally, it is necessary to evaluate not only user satisfaction about the educational activity, but also the academic environment. Objective: To design and validate a questionnaire to assess the satisfaction of users of a clinical simulation center in Yucatan, Mexico. Methodology: The design of the questionnaire was based on the SERVQUAL model. A committee of 7 experts evaluated it. For the pilot test, 256 users were selected by random probabilistic sample. At the end of the educational experience, their participation and informed consent were requested to answer the final version of the questionnaire. The reliability analysis was with Cronbach's alpha. Results: The questionnaire was structured with 15 items in 3 dimensions: suitability of the facilities, teaching effectiveness and overall satisfaction. The degree of agreement was evaluated by the content validity coefficient (CVC). Of the 256 users, 70% (179) were women and 30% (77) men, between 18 and 55 years of age. An overall Cronbach's alpha reliability of 0.997 was obtained. Conclusions: The questionnaire is a reliable and useful tool to assess user satisfaction after an educational experience, as well as to identify various factors inherent to the provision of the service.


Introducción: la satisfacción de los usuarios es un aspecto muy importante en cualquier gestión; se define como la concordancia entre las expectativas y la percepción final respecto a los factores que intervienen en la prestación de servicios; su evaluación es indicador de mejora continua, pero las expectativas difieren según el contexto y servicios; por ende, es necesario evaluar no solo la satisfacción del usuario acerca de la actividad educativa, sino también el ambiente académico. Objetivo: diseñar y validar un cuestionario para evaluar la satisfacción de los usuarios de un centro de simulación clínica en Yucatán, México. Metodología: el diseño del cuestionario se basó en el modelo SERVQUAL. Un comité de 7 expertos lo evaluó. Para la prueba piloto se seleccionaron 256 usuarios, por muestreo probabilístico aleatorio. Al terminar la experiencia educativa se les solicitó su participación y consentimiento informado para responder la versión final del cuestionario. El análisis de confiabilidad fue con alfa de Cronbach. Resultados: el cuestionario se estructuró con 15 reactivos en 3 dimensiones: idoneidad de las instalaciones, eficacia docente y satisfacción global. El grado de acuerdo fue evaluado por coeficiente de validez de contenido (CVC). De los 256 usuarios, 70% (179) fueron mujeres y 30% (77) hombres, entre 18 y 55 años de edad. Se obtuvo una fiabilidad alfa de Cronbach global de 0.997. Conclusiones: el cuestionario es una herramienta confiable y de utilidad para evaluar la satisfacción del usuario posterior a una experiencia educativa, así como para identificar diversos factores inherentes a la prestación del servicio.

RESUMEN

OBJECTIVE: High-fidelity simulation with debriefing has been shown to be effective in maintaining high-risk, low-volume proficiencies in nursing. The purpose of this evidence-based practice project was to implement high-fidelity simulation with debriefing to measure improvements in flight nurse skill acuity and retention when performing intubations. METHODS: This was a prospective evidence-based project conducted before and after a debriefing intervention that took place at HealthNet Aeromedical Services, Charleston, WV. Participants were flight nurses who were asked to intubate during a high-fidelity simulation session and participate in a debriefing session to reflect on their performance. They were then tested on 7-month skill retention. Eight subjects completed all stages of the study and were included in the analysis. RESULTS: The mean ± standard deviation time to successful intubation predebriefing was 26.9 ± 11.9 seconds; for postdebriefing, it was 24.8 ± 5.8 seconds. The mean ± standard deviation checklist score before debriefing was 7.9 ± 0.4 points, whereas for postdebriefing it was 9.4 ± 0.7 points. CONCLUSION: The implementation of debriefing after simulation improved the time to intubation and produced better clinical judgment and mastery while performing the intubation.

RESUMEN

High-fidelity simulation scenarios provide trainees the opportunity to demonstrate foundational anesthesia skills, complex prioritization, and decision making. One strategy used in trainee assessment is an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). The purpose of this study was to design an OSCE with a reliable, quantitative grading rubric that could be used as part of a comprehensive assessment strategy to determine readiness for entry into clinical training for nurse anesthesia residents. An observational correlational study was developed to validate four high-fidelity simulation scenarios and accompanying quantitative grading rubrics. The rubrics were tested on junior nurse anesthesia residents and graded by program faculty members. Interrater reliability was tested using Krippendorff's alpha. Three cohorts of nurse anesthesia residents (n = 83) were assessed yielding 330 unique observations. Interrater reliability increased over the duration of the study with an overall reliability coefficient of 0.9092 (95% CI, 0.8509-0.9062), indicating a very high degree of interrater reliability among a variety of raters in complex simulated environments. Development of a quantitative rubric for high-fidelity simulation is achievable and should be considered as part of a summative assessment to differentiate individual student performance and readiness to proceed to clinical training within a front-loaded nurse anesthesia program.
