摘要
Background: Maximizing nursing resources is imperative for hospitals to meet budget. Merging units is often viewed as cost effective. Clinical simulation can be used to both cross-train staff and enhance perceptions of teamwork, thus contributing to patient safety.
Sample: Fifteen nurses and eight technicians underwent simulation as part of a cross-training project. Four nurses and four technicians participated in a pre-posttest study as part of the project.
Methods: Two simulation sessions were used to assist medical surgical nursing staff in caring for pediatric patients. The 35-item Teamwork Perceptions Questionnaire was used to measure teamwork.
Results: Non-parametric Wilcoxon signed ranks test demonstrated a significant improvement in the Teamwork Perceptions Questionnaire situation monitoring subscale (p<.05; p=.012).
Conclusion: Successful simulation training was accomplished, as well as improved perception of one aspect of teamwork. During debriefing of the simulation exercises, an additional unexpected benefit of problem-solving transpired.
