Evaluating Simulation Education Via Electronic Surveys Immediately Following Live Critical Events: A Pilot Study

Abstract

A novel electronic survey was successfully piloted to measure residents' perceptions of simulation education compared with live critical events. Residents perceived that their experiences in earlier similar simulations positively affected their performances during emergencies.

Use of the design and self-confidence scales in the assessment of maternal-child realistic simulation

“…As emergências pediátricas são eventos raros, e que não são suficientes para que o residente ou aluno ganhem a competência e a habilidade necessárias. Cada vez mais programas com educação baseada na simulação têm sido utilizados, mostrando-se eficazes para melhorar as habilidades técnicas e o trabalho em equipa (Happel, Lease, Nishisaki, & Braga, 2015). Os ambientes de atendimento ao utente pediátrico incluem a atenção básica e a atenção hospitalar.…”

Providers' Perceptions of Caring for Pediatric Patients in Community Hospital Emergency Departments: A Mixed‐methods Analysis

“…In‐situ simulations involve the presentation of a patient to an interdisciplinary team of frontline providers in their actual clinical work space using real equipment. These simulations can be used to train providers and teams (especially around low‐frequency, high‐stakes cases) and to probe systems for latent safety threats . Debriefings involve teams self‐reflecting on the simulation experience and provoke participants to express their cognitive and emotional frames .…”

What are the measures that can be used to assess performance during in situ Paediatric Emergency Medicine Simulation?

“…Articles using feedback forms universally followed a Likert scale format; however, the focus of the data collection varied from self-perceived reports of performance and preparedness,8 to clinical impact,9 10 user satisfaction,11 12 confidence13 and knowledge acquisition 2 14. Feedback form response rates varied from 54 to 100% and were typically completed immediately after the simulation session.…”

“…The exception was Happel et al ,8 who audited residents after live critical events, regarding perceptions of previous simulations. Findings here were derived from 47 surveys completed by 20 paediatric residents in relation to 27 critical events.…”
