Validation of a didactic model evaluating the usability, usefulness and acceptability of psychological first aid teaching through simulation.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To evaluate the effectiveness of simulation as a means to teach Psychological First Aid in Operations (PFA-O). We propose to use a model built on research in didactics to assess the factors which may or may not encourage trainers to adopt and embrace this teaching technique.

Material and method

We submitted a questionnaire to all PFA-O trainers working in France, comprising 15 criteria divided into three dimensions: usability, usefulness and acceptability. Correlation and regression analyses were applied to assess the links between these criteria, teacher motivation, and actual implementation of training courses. We also wanted to test the relevance of these criteria to predict motivation in a multiple linear regression model.

Results

59 trainers, i.e. 52.68%
