ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The restrictions to stop COVID-19 pandemic have had a negative impact in simulation, however, it is imperative to develop new strategies that facilitate healthcare education.OBJECTIVE:
To describe a simulation in healthcare based on the learning of Non-Technical Skills (NTS) and performed under the restrictions of COVID-19 Pandemic.METHODS:
Quasi-experimental study of an educational activity performed through simulation with anaesthesiology residents in November 2020. Twelve residents participated in two consecutive days. A questionnaire was filled related to the performance of NTS that encompasses leadership, teamwork and decision making. The complexity of the scenarios and the NTS results obtained between the two days were analysed. Advantages and challenges were documented when a clinical simulation is performed under COVID-19 restrictions.RESULTS:
The global performance of the teams improved when comparing first and second day (79.5% vs 88.6%, p<0.01). Leadership was the worst section rated, however, was the one that showed the best improvement (70% vs 87.5%, p<0.01). The complexity of the simulation cases had no relation with the group performance in leadership and teamwork but affected task management results. General satisfaction was over 75%. The main challenges to develop the activity were the technology required to adapt virtuality to simulation and the time spent for the preparation of it. No cases of COVID-19 were reported within the first month after the activity.CONCLUSION:
Clinical simulation can be done in the context of COVID-19 Pandemic, obtaining satisfactory learning results but requiring the adaptation of institutions to the new challenges it implies.Keywords
