Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Task interruption is part of professional life. The healthcare world is not exempt from this phenomenon. Task interruptions lead to errors and increase the risks in managing patients.

Medication administration is the critical step, in that it is the final step to stop medication errors produced upstream. It therefore requires the full attention of any healthcare professional.

In the field of health, simulation has become an innovative educational tool allowing experiential learning and reflective practice.

The general aim of this study is to objectivize the value of simulation-based training as regards medication administration when task interruptions occur.

Allocation Method

NA

Intervention Model

SINGLE_GROUP

10 training courses including 4 nurses each are scheduled, i.e. 40 inclusions. The nurses will benefit from two half-days of simulation training three-months apart, dealing with the safety of medication administration. The training will include a high-fidelity scenario whose events will be adapted to medication administration in conventional care services.

simulated

The 'Simulation training', using high fidelity simulation with a simulated patient, is composed of 2 training sessions of 3 hours each. The training will include a high-fidelity scenario whose events will be adapted to medication administration in conventional care services. This scenario is developed by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, experts in simulation and risk management

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

high fidelity simulation

Intervention Type OTHER

Each half-day training session will begin with a reminder of the context and general objectives of the training. Nurses will complete the self-assessment and knowledge tests.

The nurses, each in turn, will start the scenario and will immediately assess the workload felt, by the Nasa-TLX grid. During these high-fidelity simulation sessions, an "error cart" workshop will allow all the other nurses to summon up their knowledge on safety tools upstream of the administration procedure.

The session begins with a briefing and ends with a debriefing.
