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.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	high fidelity simulation	Each half-day training session will begin with a reminder of the context and general objectives of the training. Nurses will complete the self-assessment and knowledge tests. The nurses, each in turn, will start the scenario and will immediately assess the workload felt, by the Nasa-TLX grid. During these high-fidelity simulation sessions, an "error cart" workshop will allow all the other nurses to summon up their knowledge on safety tools upstream of the administration procedure. The session begins with a briefing and ends with a debriefing.
