A study comparing Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice and traditional Simulation on nurses' performance in a simulated scenario

Participants allocated to the intervention arm will receive Rapid Cycle Deliberate Practice (RCDP) as an education method for resuscitation training. In this intervention arm, participants will receive training over one hour, Face to Face, on one allocated day: - 5-minute pre brief and Basic Life Support confidence survey - 20-minute RCDP resuscitation training session - Participants work through a clinical scenario which is broken up into small sections. During each section participants practice clinical skills (e.g. CPR, Defibrillation, and Airway skills and are provided with immediate feedback and debriefing. Sections are then repeated until skill mastery is achieved. - 5-minute NASA TLX - Participants will complete the NASA TLX tool immediately after the RCDP training session. The NASA TLX is a tool used to assess self perceived workload. It measures six dimensions: mental demand, physical demand, temporal demand, performance, effort, and frustration. This tool will assist in assessing cognitive load of training received. NASA TLX sourced from NASA Human Systems Integration Division. - 10-minute uninterrupted clinical scenario. Participants work through a full clinical scenario (e.g. cardiac arrest scenario) using a manikin. The scenario runs without instructor interruption to capture team resuscitation performance (e.g. CPR quality, timely defibrillation), - 20 minute debrief. * Informational materials that would be used include: - Scenario guides (includes simulated clinical notes for participants to use during their simulation). Designed specifically for this study. - Facilitator guides (instructions for running simulations/training sessions). Designed specifically for this study. - Debriefing tool to facilitate debriefing. Sourced from St George Hospital and Debreif2Learn.org - Basic Life Support education poster. Sourced from the Australian Resuscitation Council * Physical materials: - Laerdal QCPR Mannequin - Simulated defibrillator - Realiti Sourced from iSimulate - Clinical equipment (resuscitation equipment - Airway equipment) The training sessions within this intervention arm will be delivered by Nursing educators who have been trained in RCDP method. The location of the intervention will be in a purpose-built education center e.g. Clinical Skills Centre within an acute in-patient hospital. Adherence to the intervention will be through direct observation. Researchers will be using facilitator guides during training sessions to ensure intervention adherence occurs.
