Assessing healthcare simulation facilitation using a competency-based tool derived from practice in low-resource settings.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

The worldwide expansion in healthcare simulation training includes accelerated uptake in low-resource settings. Until recently, no framework has specifically delineated the competencies underpinning effective facilitation practice in low-resource settings. We describe the development of the Facilitation Behavioural Assessment Tool for simulation facilitation training and report reliability in scoring facilitation performance. This tool was informed by healthcare simulation facilitation practice in low-resource settings.

Methods

The tool has 32 facilitation competencies, organised across three performance categories (techniques, artistry and values) and a three-point scale is used for scoring. Following a short, self-directed online training module, participants
