Impact of Simulation-Based Training on the Safety of Medication Administration

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Nurse Training; Health Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice; Simulation

• Registration Number: NCT05543655
• Lead Sponsor: University Hospital, Angers

Brief Summary

Task interruption is part of professional life. The healthcare world is not exempt from this phenomenon. Task interruptions lead to errors and increase the risks in managing patients.

Medication administration is the critical step, in that it is the final step to stop medication errors produced upstream. It therefore requires the full attention of any healthcare professional.

In the field of health, simulation has become an innovative educational tool allowing experiential learning and reflective practice.

The general aim of this study is to objectivize the value of simulation-based training as regards medication administration when task interruptions occur.
