Abstract
Background
Infectious disease crisis requires incident specific training and presents unique circumstances for teaching and learning to protect patients and healthcare workers. This toolkit was developed by a team of nurse educators and infection prevention researchers to a) offer training to nurses and nursing students who were frontline healthcare providers during the COVID-19 pandemic on the use of personal protective equipment in the context of the hierarchy of controls and b) evaluate the just-in-time training using simulation methods.
Methods
Interactive content for online delivery was developed, including briefing, simulation content, and debriefing. Participants were recruited via professional, practice, and academic networks. Instructors and learners were asked to complete an evaluation on satisfaction with learning, self-confidence, and design. Data were collected between May 2020 and September 2023; descriptive quantitative and qualitative data were analyzed.
Results
Demographic data from 1,239 participants across 18 countries shows the majority were female (89%), 20-30 years old (81%), nurses (97%), and practiced in academic (48%) settings. Evaluation data from instructors (N = 39) and learners (N=1,159) was positive overall (M = 4.1; M = 4.5, respectively).
Conclusion
Simulation for just-in-time training with online video observation during a pandemic offers nurse educators in academia and practice settings a rapid, feasible, and safe method of learning crisis-specific infection prevention and occupational safety practice guidance.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation.
We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria:
Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation
Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation
Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation
Leadership for simulation
Simulation operations
Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
