| description | Objective: Increasingly, intensive care units (ICU) are operated by teams of physicians and nurses with specialist training in anaesthesia and intensive care. The aims of our study were to evaluate any prior experience, expectations and the requisites for interprofessional ICU simulation-based training (SBT), and to evaluate a newly designed training course incorporating these findings.Methods: The study was laid out as a cross-sectional study and is projected in three steps. First, questionnaires were sent out to ICU nurses and physicians from 15 different hospitals in a greater metropolitan area (> million citizens). Based upon this survey a one-day ICU simulator course designed for 12 participants (6 nurses and 6 physicians) was developed, with evaluation data from four subsequent courses being analysed.Results: In the survey 40% of nurses and 57% of the physicians had had prior exposure to SBT. Various course formats were explored with respect to duration, day of the week, and group composition. After completing the course, the majority deemed a full working day in interprofessional setting to be most appropriate (p<0.001). The scenarios were considered relevant and had a positive impact on communication, workflow and coping with stress.Conclusion: Currently SBT is not a mainstream tool used by German ICU teams for further education, and this lack of familiarity must be taken into consideration when preparing SBT courses for them. We developed a nontechnical skills training course for ICU teams which was undertaken in the setting of simulated clinical scenarios (pertinent to their work environment). The participants found the course’s content to be relevant for their daily work, rated the course’s impact on their workplace practices as being good and advocated for longer training sessions. |
