Trial Outcomes & Findings for The Learning Outcome of Resuscitation Teamwork Training in Postgraduate Year Doctors and Nurses (NCT NCT05302414)

NCT ID: NCT05302414

Last Updated: 2024-11-22

Results Overview

The assessment of the medical team's teamwork performance was conducted using the Team Performance Observation Tool, which includes a 23-item rating checklist. This checklist is divided into five categories: team structure (four items), leadership (six items), communication (four items), situation monitoring (five items), and mutual support (four items). Scores for each item range from 1 (Very Poor) to 5 (Excellent), resulting in a cumulative score between 23 and 115. A higher score indicates better teamwork performance.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Pretest at the 0 week, posttest right after intervention at the 4 weeks, and follow-up test at the 16 weeks.

Population: The total number of participants was 124, with 28 did not complete the pretest, resulting in 96 people completed pretest, intervention and posttest. Subsequently, 48 participants did not complete three-months follow up test , the total number of participants who completed the whole course reduced to 48. For participants who did not complete the study, the reasons included scheduling conflicts, staffing shortages in clinical settings, and surge in COVID-19 outbreak.

The "Knowledge of Teamwork" assessment, aimed at evaluating healthcare professionals' understanding of teamwork knowledge, consists of 23 multiple-choice items based on the Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) Learning Benchmarks provided by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. Each item is formulated as a statement that participants must evaluate as true or false, choosing from five available answer options, of which only one is correct. Participants earn one point for each correct response, with no points awarded for incorrect answers, resulting in a total possible score of 0 to 23. A higher score signifies a more comprehensive understanding of the principles of teamwork knowledge.

The attitudes of healthcare professionals toward interprofessional collaboration were assessed using the 'Interprofessional Collaboration Scale' (IPC), which consists of 26 items. The Interprofessional Collaboration Scale covers three main aspects: communication, accommodation, and isolation. We adopted the first 13 items because they are relevant to medical and nursing professional backgrounds. The scale ranges from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree), with total scores ranging from 13 to 52. A higher score indicates a more positive attitude toward interprofessional collaboration.

The healthcare professionals' resuscitation medical knowledge was assessed using the 'Adavance Cardiac Life Support Precourse Self-Assessment,' which consisted of 60 items. The assessment covered three main aspects: rhythm identification, pharmacology, and practical application. We selected 20 items related to resuscitation medical management (ventricular tachycardia, ventricular fibrilation, asystole, pulseless electrical activity). The total score ranged from 0 (minimum) to 20 (maximum), with higher scores indicating a better understanding of resuscitation medical knowledge.

The medical team's resuscitation management performance was assessed using the "Medical Task Performance" checklist. The checklist items were referenced from the 2020 American Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and Emergency Cardiovascular Care. Twenty items were identified by an expert panel based on the resuscitation guidelines, including applying adequate oxygen according to the patient's dynamic condition, timely identification of cardiac arrest and provision of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation, identification of shockable rhythms and delivery of timely and correct shocks, and correct administration of resuscitation medication. The checklist was rated on a dichotomous scale with scores of 2 (complete), 1 (partial), and 0 (incomplete). The total score ranged from 0 (minimum) to 40 (maximum), with higher scores indicating better resuscitation management performance by the medical team.

The learning cognitive load of healthcare professionals was assessed using the 'Chinese Version of the Learning Cognitive Load Questionnaire,' which consists of 8 items. The questionnaire encompasses two main aspects: mental load and mental effort. The scale ranges from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 6 (Strongly Agree), with a total score from 6 (minimun) to 48 (maximun). A higher score indicates a higher learning cognitive load.
