Safety management within the scope of teaching practical clinical skills: framing errors for cardiopulmonary resuscitation training - a multi-arm randomized controlled equivalence trial.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is among the most important skills in clinical practice. Errors can happen here, just like everywhere, and potentially have severe consequences. Two common error handling strategies known from practice are Error Management (EM) and Error Avoidance (EA). However, its effects on medical performance outcomes remain unclear. This study aimed to examine the role of error framing in basic life support (BLS) training for future healthcare professionals.

Materials and methods

In an equivalence trial (N = 430), first-year medical, dentistry, physiotherapy, and midwifery students underwent BLS training. In the three study arms, participants received either (1) instructions framing errors positively (EM), (2) instructions framing
