Simulation Today Autumn 2021

FEATURE
reduced by completing an SBLE, the stress of undertaking this type of
education and the process of knowledge acquisition can cause stress
to some nurse’s.
Nearly half of all emergency nurses felt that understaffing inhibited their
ability to attend SBLE sessions. This factor is probably going to be a
longstanding issue due to the significant number of nursing vacancies.
Just over a quarter of emergency nurses asked felt that the ED were
to busy to facilitate nurses attending SBLE in the ED, therefore trying
to pick the optimal time or potentially arranging cover will assist the
education team in getting nurses to SBLE in the ED. Nearly a quarter
of emergency nurses felt that overcrowding not only affected patient’s
but prevented them from attending SBLE. This is a difficult barrier to
overcome as generally the blocks of getting patient’s out of the ED are
unable to be solely resolved by the ED. Being aware of the departmental
pressures may mean solutions can be found. For example, giving
feedback could be shortened, while not optimal, but this maybe the
difference between two or three nurses attending the sessions.
Some emergency nurses feel that the lack of sim lab located in the ED
prevents them from undertaking SBLE. But, running in-situ simulations
maybe a good compromise to improve the uptake of SBLE in the ED, as
this enables nurses to attend while working on the shop floor. It will also
facilitate a more realistic response and a reduction in simulation artifact.
