Abstract

Introduction: Blood exposure accidents (BEA) represent a significant risk for healthcare workers. To enhance safety awareness, particularly among medical students, the "Room of Errors" may offer an innovative and effective educational approach.

Objective: To assess the impact of the "Room of Errors" simulation on medical students' knowledge regarding BEA management.

Methods: A pre-experimental study was conducted at the simulation center of the Faculty of Medicine of Sousse, including 63 students in the third level of the Second cycle of medical studies (SCMS3) who completed an internship in the occupational medicine department during the academic year2023/2024. Participants attended a simulation session of "room of errors" including seven intentional errors.An "error collection" sheet was used to identify these errors. A pre-test and post-test, each comprising 5 questions, evaluated participants' knowledge. Answers were classified as correct or incorrect.

Results: All 63 students (100%) who participated to the simulation session were included in the study. Totally, 55.6% of participants were female, with a median age of 24 years. Participants have correctly identified an average of 5.8 errors (range: 3-7) with a median of 6 [IQR: 5-7]. Following the simulation, students demonstrated significant improvements in their knowledge compared to the median pre-simulation scores (4 [IQR: 4-5] vs 2 [IQR: 1-3]; p<10-3). The overall assessment of the tool indicated that all participants enjoyed and appreciate the error room: 64% found this learning method excellent and 22% found it good. The majority of the participants indicated that the debriefing was helpful, as it clarified specific elements, provided constructive feedback, and allowed a review of demonstrated technical skills, attitudes and behaviors.

Conclusion: The "Room of Errors" promotes reflective learning and enhances BEA prevention awareness. As an engaging and effective pedagogical tool, it may contribute to improving patient and professional safety.

错误的房间作为一个创新的模拟环境,以加强血液暴露事故的管理:突尼斯的实验前研究。
血液暴露事故(BEA)是医护人员面临的重大风险。为了提高安全意识,特别是医科学生的安全意识,“错误室”可以提供一种创新和有效的教育方法。目的:探讨“错误室”模拟教学对医学生BEA管理知识的影响。方法:在苏塞医学院模拟中心进行实验前研究,选取2023/2024学年在职业医学系实习的医学第二周期(SCMS3)三年级学生63名。参与者参加了“错误房间”的模拟会议,其中包括七个故意错误。“错误收集”表用于识别这些错误。前测和后测各包括5个问题,评估参与者的知识水平。答案被分为正确和错误。结果:63名参加模拟会话的学生(100%)全部被纳入研究。总共55.6%的参与者是女性,中位年龄为24岁。参与者正确识别了平均5.8个错误(范围:3-7),中位数为6 [IQR: 5-7]。在模拟之后,与模拟前的中位数分数相比,学生表现出了显著的知识进步(4 [IQR: 4-5] vs 2 [IQR: 1-3]; p-3)。对该工具的总体评估表明,所有参与者都喜欢并欣赏错误空间:64%的人认为这种学习方法很好,22%的人认为它很好。大多数与会者表示,情况汇报是有帮助的,因为它澄清了具体内容,提供了建设性的反馈,并允许审查所展示的技术技能、态度和行为。结论:“错误空间”促进了反思性学习,提高了预防BEA的意识。作为一种有吸引力和有效的教学工具,它可能有助于提高患者和专业安全。
