Practice of situational simulation teaching in emergency ability training for Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Services staff

Abstract

Objective To investigate the practice effect of situational simulation teaching in emergency ability training for Pharmacy Intravenous Admixture Services (PIVAS) staff. Methods A total of 93 pharmacists and nurses who worked in PIVAS of Children's Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from February 2014 to December 2016 were selected as subjects, and emergency ability training was performed using situational simulation teaching. SPSS 18.0 was used for data analysis, and the paired t-test was used to analyze the scores of professional theory, emergency operation skills, and self-assessment questionnaire before and after training. Results After training, the trainees had significant increases in the mean scores of professional theory [(95.33±1.13) vs. (73.89±4.13), P<0.01], emergency operation skills [(97.98±1.04) vs. (78.79±3.51), P<0.01], and self-assessment questionnaire [(91.92±1.51) vs. (73.60±4.77), P<0.01]. Conclusion The use of situational simulation teaching stimulates the learning interest of PIVAS staff and improves their emergency processing abilities, and therefore, it can promote timely and safe medication for children.
