Training on the care of patients with respiratory syndrome of middle east-coronavirus and ebola virus based on clinical simulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Methods Prospective study. We evaluated the clinical training courses (October 2014 January 2015) based on high-fidelity simulation of care in patients with suspected MERS-CoV or EV, carried out in a Clinical Simulation Unit of a tertiary hospital. Both courses were organized in five stations: 1. Course presentation with audiovisual media; 2. Supervised dress-up with the specific personal protective equipment (PPE); 3. High-fidelity simulation in a hospitalization room that was adapted in each of the courses for the specific care of MERS-CoV or EV patients; 4. Supervised withdrawal of PPE and 5. Simulation debriefing. Degree of resemblance with a real-life situation and degree of academic performance together with student satisfaction were analyzed.
