Read More BACKGROUND: The emergency department is one of the most important parts of all hospitals. Forthis reason, many simulation programs are performed in this department to increase the knowledge,skills, and productivity of health‑care workers. The purpose of this study was to identify the benefitsof simulation in hospital emergency departments.MATERIALS AND METHODS: In the present systematic study, using “AND” and “OR” operators, wesearched for the keywords “benefits,” “simulation,” and “hospital emergency department” in PubMed,Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar as well as Persian language databases such SID, Magiran,Irandoc, and Iran Medex. Then, a three‑step screening process was used to select studies relevantto simulation and hospital emergency from 2005 to 2021 using the PRISMA checklist, and finally,the obtained data were analyzed.RESULTS: A total of three main groups, each with several subgroups, were extracted and identifiedas the benefits of using simulation in hospital emergency departments. They included improvingthe diagnosis of the disease (rapid prediction of the disease, rapid diagnosis, and patient triage),improving the treatment process (improvement of treatment results, anticipation of admission anddischarge of patients, acceleration of interventions, and reduction of medical errors), and improvingknowledge and skills (improvement of the speed of decision‑making, staff’s acquisition of knowledgeand skills, simple, convenient, and low‑cost training, improvement of staff’s preparedness in crisis).CONCLUSION: Based on the results of the present study, it is suggested to develop some trainingprograms in order to help staff upgrade their knowledge and performance as well as acquire practicalskills and also to improve the diagnosis and treatment process in hospital emergency departments.Virtual methods are also proposed to be applied as potential and cost‑effective platforms for learning,teaching, and evaluating the staff of hospital emergency departments.

Read More INTRODUCTION: Shoulder dystocia is one of the obstetric emergencies that are accompanied toserious risks for mother and fetus. It necessitates making the method of training of shoulder dystociamanagement more efficient, i.e., better management and giving services with higher quality. Thus,this study was carried out to compare the impact of training by simulation and oral technique onthe skill of the employed midwives in obstetric clinics at Mashhad city (Iran) in shoulder dystociamanagement during 2012.METHODS: The current research is a double‑group clinical trial that was conducted on 51 members ofthe employed midwives in the obstetric clinic at Mashhad city in 2012. The questionnaire of personalspecification and awareness about shoulder dystocia and practical examination (objective‑structuredclinical examination) were employed as tools for data collection. The learners were divided into twogroups by randomized allocation. Training was done by the presentation of lecture in the oral contentgroup and a short movie was displayed at the end of it. The shoulder dystocia management techniquewas simulated in another group and through role‑playing of instructor application of moulage (station)training was conducted. The period of the training course (4 h) and content of the educationalworkshop was identical for both groups. The practical examination was held for the learnersbefore and immediately after training course. The given data were analyzed by means of statisticaldescriptive tests including Mann–Whitney U‑test and Wilcoxon test via SPSS software (version 16).The significance level was considered as (P < 0.05) in all cases.RESULTS: The total mean score was significantly increased for the variable of shoulderdystocia management skill after intervention in both groups (P < 0.0001). Similarly, the results ofMann–Whitney U‑test statistical tests indicated that total mean score for the variable of shoulderdystocia management skill after the intervention was significantly greater in simulation group thanin an oral group (P = 0.040).CONCLUSION: Training in simulated delivery room by means of role‑playing is an efficient methodfor training shoulder dystocia management skill, so it is recommended to use this program in thetraining of this skill.
