About this study
Official title: Improving the Quality of Team Training and Performance During Interprofessional in Situ Mock Code Blue Simulations: A Randomized Controlled Mixed-methods Study
Communication and teamwork failures are the leading causes of errors in healthcare settings. In situ mock code simulations are a potential means to train team-based skills using simulation within real clinical care environments where errors occur; however, debriefing discussions often focus on gaps in learners' clinical skills as opposed to team functioning. This study aims to determine whether learners who are pre-trained using just-in-time simulation regarding CPR quality and medication administration will exhibit improved performance with respect to these skills during in situ mock codes as well as improved team functioning.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Just-in-time training (JITT)Behavioural
The JITT training is a 20 minute simulation-based teaching session targeting: (1) CPR quality and (2) medication administration.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Just-in-time training (JITT) group | Experimental | Receive a 20min just-in-time simulation-based teaching session targeting: (1) CPR quality and (2) medication administration within 3 hours of the scheduled in situ simulation. Receives: Behavioral: Just-in-time training (JITT) |
| No additional training (control) group | No intervention | Control group who receives no additional training. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Team-based non-technical skills
Measured using the Team Emergency Assessment Measure (TEAM) scale
Measured: Time Frame: All data will be collected during the one hour when participants engage in the in situ mock code simulation
Secondary outcomes (1)
CPR quality
Measured using the Zoll R series defibrillator (compressions per minute (cpm), depth in millimeters (mm), and compression fraction)
Measured: Time Frame: All data will be collected during the one hour when participants engage in the in situ mock code simulation
