METHODS: Healthcare professionals attended the Generic Instructor Course (GIC), a two-day course training instructor candidates from different training courses. Empathy and the cultivation of mental resilience of adult healthcare professional trainers were measured in order to investigate whether participation in a simulated training process can influence these characteristics of the trainer and how these characteristics interact with the training process. Four measurements were recorded: (i) baseline (before the GIC course), (ii) after the course, (iii) follow-up after one month, and (iv) follow-up after three months.
RESULTS: Ninety participants in the GIC course were the study sample. Participants showed statistically higher empathy after participation in the GIC vs. baseline, one-month, and three-month follow-up (p = 0.023). Resilience did not reveal any statistical difference, after the participation in the GIC and follow-up measurements (p = 0.084). For both variables (empathy and resilience), demographics did not have any association with the variables.
CONCLUSIONS: Besides its primary aim of training and certifying future instructors in resuscitation courses, the GIC also had a positive impact on the participants\' empathy.
方法:医疗保健专业人员参加了通用讲师课程(GIC),来自不同培训课程的为期两天的培训讲师候选人。测量了成人医疗保健专业培训师的同理心和心理韧性的培养,以调查参与模拟培训过程是否会影响培训师的这些特征以及这些特征如何与培训过程相互作用。记录了四个测量值:(i)基线(GIC课程之前),(ii)课程结束后,(iii)一个月后的随访,(iv)三个月后的随访。
结果:GIC课程的90名参与者是研究样本。参与者在参加GIC后表现出更高的同理心与基线,一个月,和三个月的随访(p=0.023)。弹性没有显示任何统计学差异,参与GIC和随访测量后(p=0.084)。对于这两个变量(移情和韧性),人口统计学与变量没有任何关联。
结论:除了培训和认证未来复苏课程的讲师的主要目标之外,GIC也对参与者的移情产生了积极的影响。
