About

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.

Experimental group

Description:

The 'Simulation training', using high fidelity simulation with a simulated patient, is composed of 2 training sessions of 3 hours each. The training will include a high-fidelity scenario whose events will be adapted to medication administration in conventional care services. This scenario is developed by a multidisciplinary team of healthcare professionals, experts in simulation and risk management
