Title
Needs Assessment Study to Build Interprofessional In situ Simulation Training in Non-technical Skills: Improving Quality of Care and Patient Safety During Acute Clinical Adverse Events.
Length of Presentation
Background/Purpose
Healthcare providers (HCP) must master technical and non-technical skills (NTS) necessary to ensure patient safety and favourable outcomes. In situ simulation (ISS) possibly improves teamwork and team satisfaction, however evidence describing the effect of ISS on HCP NTS is not well described. We aimed to conduct a needs assessment to identify knowledge and competency gaps regarding NTS of HCP during acute events.
Methods
HCP in a level 3 NICU completed a questionnaire: 1) Open-ended comments on key concepts; 2) Needs assessment based on their past experiences in acute events; 3) Perceptions of past team performance and latent safety threats (LST) during critical events; 4) Perception of quality of interactions with other professionals during emergency interventions, open-ended questions about expectations in terms of training and barriers to participating in simulation training; 5) Demographics.
Results
125 HCP responded (40% response). Crisis resource management and specific NTS (communication with families during events, teamwork and controlling stress) were identified as training needs. At least 50% of respondents state that during critical events 1) they feel anxious, 2) have the impression that a leader is never identified, 3) leaders do not coordinate communication between team members, 4) team members do not repeat or feedback information to ensure comprehension in the team. Two thirds of respondents identify lack of transfer of information as the main LST during acute events.
Conclusion
Competency gaps of HCP are related to NTS and specifically leadership, communication and stress management, which are essential to ensure patient safety and favorable outcomes. Upcoming ISS curriculum will include these concepts and will measure its effect on HCP behaviors and institution culture change.
