Impact of Pediatric Medical Emergencies' in Situ Simulations

Simulation in healthcare is becoming more and more essential in the training of paramedical and medical caregivers. It is a powerful educational tool that can enrich knowledge and skills, whether technical (setting up a venous catheter, intubation, etc...) or transversal (teamwork, communication, stress management in crises, etc.). The hospital environment requires nurses, nurses' aides, residents, and doctors to provide human care in increasingly technical work environments while exercising increasing responsibilities. These caregivers are therefore exposed to many stressors. Several studies highlight the benefits of simulation on the ability of professionals to deal with rare and/or complex crises which they have previously faced during simulation sessions. Beginning January 2022, the Necker - Enfants Malades hospital will start a hospital' scale training program for pediatric medical emergencies using in situ simulation of the Necker - Enfants Malades hospital. The SUrVIS (Simulation d'Urgences Vitales In Situ) project is based on interprofessional training courses divided into four parts theoretical training (recognition of the critically ill child / cardiorespiratory arrest, how to call for assistance), procedural simulation (ventilation / chest compression / set up an intraosseous access / call for help...), three in situ simulation scenarios of pediatric medical emergencies (with live audiovisual retransmission for observers) each ending with a debriefing and a conclusion of the day with handing over of best practice documents. The study investigation team plan to train 400 caregivers each year (including 300 nurses and nurses' aides). The Impact-SUrVIS (Impact de la Simulation d'Urgences Vitales In Situ) study is built around the SUrVIS sessions. Through questionnaire, the study investigation team will assess the impact of this hospital program on self-confidence, the feeling of professional efficiency, interprofessional communication, and work-related s
