Impact of simulation-based training on perceived provider confidence in acute multidisciplinary pediatric trauma resuscitation.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Simulation-based training has the potential to improve team-based care. We hypothesized that implementation of an in situ multidisciplinary simulation-based training program would improve provider confidence in team-based management of severely injured pediatric trauma patients.

Methods

An in situ multidisciplinary pediatric trauma simulation-based training program with structured debriefing was implemented at a free-standing children's hospital. Trauma providers were anonymously surveyed 1 month before (pre-), 1 month after (post-), and 2 years after implementation.

Results

Survey response rate was 49% (n = 93/190) pre-simulation, 22% (n = 42/190) post-simulation, and 79% (n = 150/190) at 2-year follow-up. These providers reported more anxiety (p = 0.01) and
