The simulation-based learning method causes a sense of anxiety in students. Studies have shown that progressive relaxation exercises have a positive effect on anxiety. This study, will be tried to determine the effect of the progressive relaxation exercises applied to the students before the simulation training on anxiety, student satisfaction, and stress. This study is an intervention study with a pretest-posttest control group. Before the study, Personal Information Form, State Anxiety Scale, Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale, Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students, and Students' Vital Findings Evaluation Form will be applied. After applying progressive relaxation exercises to the intervention group, they will be taken to the simulation laboratory. The control group will be taken to the simulation laboratory without any intervention. After the simulation application, the scales will be re-applied and the vital signs of the students will be measured again.
Task interruption is part of professional life. The healthcare world is not exempt from this phenomenon. Task interruptions lead to errors and increase the risks in managing patients. Medication administration is the critical step, in that it is the final step to stop medication errors produced upstream. It therefore requires the full attention of any healthcare professional. In the field of health, simulation has become an innovative educational tool allowing experiential learning and reflective practice. The general aim of this study is to objectivize the value of simulation-based training as regards medication administration when task interruptions occur.
The use of simulation is recommended in anesthesiology education. Given a large number of residents, all of them will not be active participants during high-fidelity simulation sessions but will only be observers. To increase the positive effects of the simulation when the learner is in the role of observer, some authors have proposed to strengthen the educational effect through the use of an observer tool that observers must complete by analyzing the progress of the task performed by their colleagues. This is a list describing the set of key points to be achieved. However, data concerning the educational value of these observer tools are limited. Studies on the use of these tools during crisis management training in the operating room assessed by high-fidelity simulation have shown improved learning outcomes for technical skills but no study has evaluated yet their effect on non-technical skills. The effect on these skills can hardly be assessed by measuring the resident's perception or knowledge and an objective assessment of performance is necessary. The objective of this study will be to evaluate if using an observer tool (OT) dedicated to non-technical skills improves the learning of these skills in anesthesia residents during high-fidelity simulation.
Only approximately 10.4% of patients with out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) survive their initial hospitalization. The very early management of cardiac arrest is indeed considered an extremely important criterion to improve patients' outcome. Despite recent advances and improved results, outcomes remain poor, especially because bystanders are not well trained to manage such a crisis situation. According to the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation, teaching and learning the knowledge, skills and attitudes of resuscitation with the ultimate aim of improving patient survival after cardiac arrest is thus an essential goal. Teaching and learning strategies are numerous and have been well described and reviewed recently. Considering initial training methods already requires attention as study results often fail to show complete and effective learning after the initial training. Educational efficiency may be improved by several means (for example use of digital media) but it is now clear that more effective training strategies, i.e. those focusing on the cognitive process which leads to inclusion in memory), are needed. One recently introduced strategy, mainly in the field of simulation, is the use of observer tools. It has been shown that although effectiveness was still poorly demonstrated, this method had the potential to improve learning outcomes. An observer tool is a document which is used by observers during a scenario played by other learners and immediately compares the player's technical or non-technical skills with a referential guide. As it has been shown that observers learn less than those on the "hot seat" and as time for training is limited and the number of trainees is huge, focusing on observers is important. By visually assessing the practice of others repeatedly during the course and comparing each performance to the reference (i.e. the observer tool), the learner may increase his engagement in the training process with an expected final result of improved training efficacy. In a previous study performed in our simulation center, it has been have shown that using an observer tool increases immediate learning scores during operating room crisis management simulation. Good data on the use of such an observer tool in other training fields is needed to confirm these preliminary positive results.
ECG monitoring is relatively new mode of monitoring in the delivery room. While its use has been positively received by many practitioners of NRP, concerns have been raised about delaying chest compressions for a pulseless baby who may have electrical cardiac activity. It is unknown whether ECG leads do indeed provide a false sense of security in the delivery room. The investigators will be investigating this further using simulation.
[Background and Objective]First-aid skill training plays an important role in the education of nurses. How to implement stable and efficient skill is very important. (Kardong-Edgren, Oermann, Odom-Maryon, & Ha, 2010). Simulation-based workshops,or training, as the most common enhancing skills.(Topping et al., 2015) .This study was designed to assist nurses enhancing the clinical ability and safety the patients in the first aid-related skills and knowledge. The purpose of this study is to compare the two groups of(1) first aid knowledge online test. (2) first aid skills test.【Methods】This study is a general ward nurses first aid technical examination, pre-test and post-test, the random control trial. Review by the hospital ethics committee and execution date on105/12/12-107/03/08, a total of 92 cases, obtained consent of all cases, then the case will be test in our hospital clinical skills center. Subject condition: general ward nurse (minimum age> 20 years),exclusion conditions: intensive care unit nurses, emergency department nurses. Study Procedure: Subjects who obtained the informed consent were randomly assigned to the first aid skill simulation training group (FAST) or the traditional group (T) by using a computer generated number. Randomization envelopes were opened and randomization performed by the study nurse after informed consent was obtained. Each group consisted of 46 subjects. All the subjects were pre-test first aid knowledge online test, followed were pre-test first aid skills test at the Clinical Skills Center.After pre-test,the experimental group are give the first aid skill simulation training with debriefing(75-min) and online lecture(15-min).While the traditional group only give online lecture(15-min). Two weeks later, the post-test include online test and skills test for two groups. After all the data were collected by the researchers who unknown the groups, the names of the cases were removed and the scores of the two groups were compared before and after.The test Based on 2015 AHA Guidelines for CPR & ECC (2015 Adult Basic Life Support and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation Quality & 2015American Heart Association and 2015).The data will be archived in SPSS20.0 statistical package software. Statistical methods such as T-test and Anova variance analysis are used to analyze the data【Expected Result】: The knowledge and skills in the experimental group were better than the traditional group, and the first-aid simulation skill training was helpful for the clinical emergency situations.
