Abstract

Objective

Pediatric critical care transport (PCCT) teams are expected to manage a wide spectrum of pediatric high-acuity conditions. PCCT program leaders may have unique insights into transport team training, including opportunities, experiences, and barriers. The purpose of this study was to understand how PCCT program leaders perceived the role of simulation in PCCT team education.

Methods

PCCT medical directors or administrators from 12 ImPACTS (Improving Pediatric Acute Care Through Simulation) sites were recruited to participate in a 30-minute interview with trained facilitators. A semistructured 7-question interview guide on the barriers, supports, and opportunities presented by transport simulations was used. Interviews were digitally recorded, and transcripts were organized using Dedoose qualitative software. A grounded theory approach was used to identify themes.

Results

A total of 11 interviews were conducted with 5 PCCT medical directors (45%) and 6 administrators/clinical managers (54%) from 11 participating ImPACTS health facilities. Themes on participant experience with simulation, simulation feeling real, value of simulation, planning simulations, and logistical challenges were identified.

Conclusion

In general, although PCCT program leaders acknowledge logistical difficulties with planning simulations, they feel that transport simulations, particularly conducted in situ in a transport vehicle, are a helpful educational tool for PCCT teams.

基于模拟的儿科重症监护运输团队教育的观点：运输模拟研究中影响运输项目领导者访谈的定性分析

目的儿科重症监护运输（PCCT）团队有望管理广泛的儿科高敏度条件。PCCT项目负责人可能对运输团队培训有独特的见解，包括机会、经验和障碍。本研究的目的是了解PCCT项目领导者如何感知模拟在PCCT团队教育中的作用。方法从12个impact（通过模拟改善儿科急症护理）站点招募spcct的医疗主任或行政人员，与经过培训的主持人进行30分钟的访谈。采用半结构化的7个问题访谈指南，探讨交通模拟带来的障碍、支持和机会。访谈以数字方式记录，并使用Dedoose定性软件组织笔录。一个扎根理论的方法被用来确定主题。结果共对11家参与影响医疗机构的5名PCCT医疗主任（45%）和6名行政/临床管理人员（54%）进行了11次访谈。确定了参与者对模拟的体验、模拟的真实感、模拟的价值、规划模拟和后勤挑战等主题。总的来说，尽管PCCT项目负责人承认规划模拟的后勤困难，但他们认为运输模拟，特别是在运输车辆中进行的运输模拟，是PCCT团队的一个有用的教育工具。
