“…Furthermore, the decay of knowledge over time is well recognized and the retention of clinical skills in fields such as resuscitation has been shown to be poor (Alspach, 2012). For example, one trauma team performance study in the current review (Harvey, et al, 2019) identified a significant decrease in skills at six and twelve months.…”

Background: Little is known about the clinical impact of simulation-based education (SBE) for hospital nurses. Method: Scoping review methodology was used to examine the impact of nurse SBE programs within six patient safety domains. Results: Twenty-six articles described over 20 education topics. Based on Kirkpatrick's four levels of evaluation, programs prioritized superficial levels of evaluation: Level 1dReaction, Level 2dLearning. Only seven studies measured Level 3dBehavior change (nurses' performance) or Level 4dResults (impact on patient care). Conclusion(s):Nurses' CPD programs should include both short-term evaluations and longitudinal measures to detect practice improvements that may advance patient safety.

“…Research in critical care nursing has demonstrated that annual certification of ALS knowledge and skills is an inadequate means of maintaining ALS competence [2][3][4][5] , with competence declining significantly over time 6,7 . Traditional ALS training and assessment has no content regarding teamwork skills, such as communication and role assignment, which are crucial for effective management of a deteriorating or arrested patient [8][9][10][11][12] .…”

Recent focus on national standards within Australian hospitals has prompted a focus on the training of our staff in advanced life support (ALS). Research in critical care nursing has questioned the traditional annual certification of ALS competence as the best method of delivering this training. Simulation and team-based training may provide better ALS education to intensive care unit (ICU) staff. Our new inter-professional team-based advanced life support program involved ICU staff in a large private metropolitan ICU. A prospective observational study using three standardised questionnaires and two multiple choice questionnaire assessments was conducted. Ninety-nine staff demonstrated a 17.8% (95% confidence interval 4.2-31, P=0.01) increase in overall ICU nursing attendance at training sessions. Questionnaire response rates were 93 (94%), 99 (100%) and 60 (61%) respectively; 51 (52%) staff returned all three. Criteria were assessed by scores from 0 to 10. Nurses reported improved satisfaction with the education program (9.4 to 7.1, P <0.001), as well as improvement in role understanding (8.7 and 9.1 versus 7.9 and 8.2, P <0.001) and confidence (8.4 and 8.8 versus 7.4 and 7.8, P <0.001) during ALS provision (outside ICU and inside ICU) following the course when compared to before the program. Doctors' only statistically significant improvement was in their confidence in ALS provision outside ICU (8.7 versus 8.1, P=0.04). The new program cost approximately an extra $16,500 in nursing salaries. We concluded that team-based, inter-professional ALS training produced statistically significant improvements in nursing attendance, satisfaction with ALS education, confidence and role understanding compared to traditional ALS training.
