In situ simulation-based team training and its significance for transfer of learning to clinical practice--a qualitative focus group interview study of anaesthesia personnel.
Finstad AS, Aase I, Bjørshol CA, et al. In situ simulation-based team training and its significance for transfer of learning to clinical practice - qualitative focus group interview study of anaesthesia personnel. BMC Med Educ. 2023;23(1):208. doi:10.1186/s12909-023-04201-8.
Non-technical skills (NTS), such as teamwork, can be learned through simulation-based team training (SBTT) but must also transfer into practice to be successful. This study reports on an anesthesia team’s transfer of NTS into clinical practice through focus groups at two weeks and six months after participation in in-situ interprofessional SBTT. Participants reported improved practice, but requested more frequent SBTT and debriefing, both in practice and after trainings.
