Summary

Comparison between a team debriefing with an instructor and a team debriefing without an instructor, on improving non-technical skills (TEAM score) after simulating a vital emergency in a multidisciplinary team as part of the initial training

Detailed description

In spite of the enthusiasm that the simulation raises, its use remains rather complicated in the training of the interns in anesthesiologists-resuscitators (DESAR) and nursing anesthesiologists (EIADE) . Its development has two main limitations: financial and human. Indeed, it mobilizes the medical and paramedical staff already in place, which is a difficulty in a context of demographic constraints. A simulation session typically takes place in 3 stages: briefing, simulation and debriefing. The debriefing, the pedagogical pillar of the sessions, demonstrated its influence on the improvement of participants' performances. Different works have tried to define the ideal debriefing method , but its modalities are yet to be defined. To reduce this time Boet and al proposed the assisted video debriefing without instructor. Its principle is that the team of learners will debrief themselves, watching the video recording of their performance. Learners have as a teaching aid a grid that recalls the principles of team work and the technical recommendations of the pathology addressed. This debriefing would therefore reduce the training time and facilitate access to the simulation. However, its pedagogical effectiveness has not been compared to the "gold standard" instructor-team debriefing on initial training and long-term acquisition. The objective of this study is therefore to demonstrate the non-inferiority of a method of debriefing without an instructor (SI) compared to a method of debriefing of team with instructor (AI) on the improvement of a score of non-technical competence (TEAM score) after simulation of a vital emergency in a multidisciplinary team as part of the initial training. All the DESAR (except the 1st years) and EIADE of the participating centers are eligible. After information on the study and collection of their written consent, the binomials (DESAR + EIADE) will be constituted by drawing lots and randomized by stratification by center, either in debriefing AI or SI. At D1, they will have a first simulation followed by a debriefing (AI or SI) according to their randomization and immediately after this debriefing, a second simulation. There will be no systematic debriefing behind this second session, but a team of trainers will be able to debrief the binomials that wish to do so. Six months later, the last simulation will take place, followed for all the pairs of an AI debriefing. The pairs will be evaluated a posteriori, blinded by trained evaluators, for the 3 sessions on a non-technical competence score the TEAM Score and a technical skill score specialized in the pathology encountered. Finally learners will give their self-efficacy before and after each debriefing, and before the 3rd session. Throughout the course of the study psychological care will be provided: a clearly identified person who is specialized in this pedagogical technique will be present and each participant will have his / her telephone contact details and the usual structures during a psychological distress.

Conditions

• High Fidelity Simulation Training
• Simulation Training

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	debriefing without instructor	The randomization will focus on the allocation of the debriefing method: group without instructor versus group with instructor (AI). It will be stratified by center and performed before the first simulation session. The randomization will be carried out by the clinical methodology center of the Besançon University Hospital. The sequence of scenarios for each binomial will also be determined by randomization.
