Title
Paediatric Project ECHO® for Managing Pain in Children and Youth: Development and Use of Simulation-Based Scenarios to Enhance Healthcare Providers' Clinical Skills
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
Simulation-based learning mimics clinical practice whilst providing a safe learning environment. The Paediatric Project ECHO® Education Event (E3) offered in-person instruction on evidence-based care for pain management in a paediatric population. This presentation describes the development and evaluation of three paediatric simulation-based scenarios delivered as part of E3.
Methods
Contextual paediatric simulation scenarios were developed to support interdisciplinary learning. Simulations were co-facilitated by simulation educators and subject matter experts, with patients and caregivers represented by actors and a high-fidelity infant mannequin. Attendees participated in 15-minute scenarios followed by a 45-minute structured debrief. Acceptability and satisfaction as well as changes in knowledge and self-efficacy were assessed by a prospective, mixed-methods study with repeat measures. Surveys were administered at baseline, immediately post-simulation and at 6-months. Follow-up surveys will be administered at 12-months. This study was approved by the local Research Ethics Board.
Results
Participants reported moderate-to-high acceptability and satisfaction with simulation-based learning. HCPs endorsed the use of simulation-based learning for clinical skills development. Respondents agreed that "simulations were an effective way to develop communication and teamwork skills", with an average score of 6.2 ± 1.2. Perceived positive changes in knowledge and self-efficacy of pain topics were observed immediately post-simulation and at 6-months.
Conclusion
Simulation-based learning was successfully integrated into the E3 program for paediatric pain. Learner participation in the scenarios resulted in perceived increases in knowledge and self-efficacy, which will be re-assessed at 12-month follow-up.
