Training of non-technical skills as a prevention of errors in intensive care
SVÁROVSKÁ, Tereza
The main goal of this work was to map the current state of training in non-technical skills. Training in non-technical skills can contribute to improving the safe care of critically ill patients in intensive care units, where situations are often demanding, stressful, and tense. Maximum concentration, precise commands, and teamwork are necessary in these work-places. The theoretical part establishes the foundations for understanding concepts such as intensive care, non-technical skills, or simulation-based education and their relevance. The research was conducted with students in the Advanced Nursing Specialization in Intensive Care, who, thanks to simulation-based education, are aware of acquiring non-technical skills and practice them in specific simulated scenarios. The second research sample consisted of nursing staff working in intensive care units, who are exposed to stressful situations daily, and therefore should know and use the basics of non-technical skills to per-form their duties in order to prevent as many errors as possible, which can have fatal consequences. The objectives of the work focused on mapping the current situation in the training of non-technical skills in intensive care units and in student education. Another goal focused on the experiences and subjective feelings of healthcare professionals and students with training in non-technical skills in crisis situations within intensive care and during simulation-based education. The final goal aimed to identify methods and techniques of training in non-technical skills that are most effective for healthcare workers and students in intensive care, considering their specific needs and obstacles. The research was conducted using qualitative inquiry method, employing semi-structured interviews with nursing staff and students undergoing simulation-based education, along with non-participant overt observation during the mentioned simulation-based education.
