About

It is challenging for healthcare team to manage emergency patient effectively. Most of these critical patients have medical conditions and need complex medical managements. Research findings have shown that poor healthcare teamwork would result in poor communication, missing information, and insufficient situation monitoring and thus compromise patient safety. Simulation has been proved as an effective method to develop teamwork competency. However, comparing to traditional training model, simulation requires more resources such as funding, spaces, time, administration staffs, schedule, facilitators, and equipment. It would not be easy to delivery in various professional departments. Game-based learning was a known effective and learner-centered learning model which required less resources. Researchers have shown that game-based learning has higher acceptance for the learners and can improve learners' knowledge, attitude, motivation, and performance. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore the learning effectiveness of resuscitation teamwork training of board game-based learning, simulation-based learning and lecture-based learning in PGY doctors and nurses.

Full description

This will be a prospective, longitudinal, and randomized controlled trial design. A total number of 180 PGY doctors and nurses will be enrolled from a teaching hospital in northern Taipei City. They will be randomized into board game-based learning group, simulation-based learning group, and lecture-based learning group. Three groups will receive "Emergency Medical Response Teamwork" training and all of these contents were developed according to America Heart Association Guidelines for Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation and ECC and TeamSTEPPS curriculum from Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality. We will collect the professional demography, the professional medical knowledge for medical management, the concept of knowledge for teamwork, team performance, team attitude, medical management, course survey, and cognitive load scales. We will compare the learning effectiveness between three groups in pretest, posttest, and three-months follow up. Statistical methods used included descriptive and inferential statistics, χ2 chi-square tests, Kruskal-Wallis H test, Friedman test, Wilcoxon test, generalized estimating equations, and text mining.
