Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to analyze the correlation between the resilience of anesthesia professionals and the stress measured during a simulation session.

Detailed description

This trial will be carried out at the simulation center of the training institute for health professionals of the CHU Grenoble Alpes. Volunteer anesthesia professionals and students will perform a scenario simulating a pediatric laryngospasm during a surgical incision. Each scenario will be performed by a medical and paramedical anesthesia pair and supervised by simulation trainers. Stress and resilience measures will be taken at various times during the study. Participants will be debriefed at the end of the simulation. The primary objective is to analyze the correlation between anesthesia professionals' resilience and measured stress.Secondary objectives are to study the association between: SDNN-measured stress and VAS-reported stress, age and SDNN-measured stress, CD RISC 10 resilience and PSS10-reported stress, CD RISC resilience and VAS-reported stress, the effect of experience on SDNN-measured stress, multiple correlation of the different secondary criteria. secondary criteria.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Heart rate variabilityduring the laryngospasm (during 3 minutes at 6 minutes)Standard deviation of the average of RR intervals (SDNN in milliseconds) in participants
Resilience5 days before scenarioMeasurement of resilience by Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale 10 (CD RISC 10 from 0 to 40) in participants. A high score indicates better resilience.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Pediatric laryngospasm experience5 days before scenarioPediatric laryngospasm experience: qualitative variable: (yes, no)
Perceived Stress Scale5 days before scenarioThe Perceived Stress Scale (PSS10 from 10 To 50) measures the degree to which respondents feel their lives are unpredictable, uncontrollable, and overloaded. A high score indicates more stress.
Pediatric experience:5 days before scenarioPediatric experience: qualitative variable (yes, no)
Experience in anesthesia:5 days before scenarioExperience in anesthesia: number of years since the beginning of specialized training training (quantitative variable)
Heart rate variability5 days before scenario (during 3 minutes)Standard deviation of the average of RR intervals (SDNN in milliseconds) in participants
Age of anesthesia professionals5 days before scenarioAge of anesthesia professionals: (quantitative variable)
Self-reported stress5 days before scenarioStress level self reported by participants on visual analogical scale (VAS from 0 to 100); One end of the scale represents the maximum conceivable symptom strength (i. e., 100%), the other end no symptoms whatsoever (i. e., 0%).
