Abstract Abstract
Background: Crash cart competency is a critical, high-stakes skill for nursing staff, directly impacting resuscitation outcomes. This study evaluates the effectiveness of a structured simulation-based training program during nursing induction by analyzing pre- and post-test knowledge scores.
Methods: A pre-post intervention study was conducted with 19 new nursing staff. A 10-point knowledge test on crash cart protocols, medication, and equipment was administered before and after a standardized high-fidelity simulation training session. Scores were categorized into three competency levels: Adequate Knowledge (>70%), Needs Improvement (31-69%), and Inadequate Knowledge (<30%).
Results: Pre-test analysis revealed significant baseline knowledge deficits: only 6 staff (31%) demonstrated adequate knowledge, while 7 (36%) scored in the inadequate range. Post-training results showed dramatic improvement: 14 staff (74%) achieved adequate knowledge, and no staff remained in the inadequate range. The proportion of staff with adequate knowledge increased by 43 percentage points. The mean test score improved from 4.3 (SD=2.5) to 8.1 (SD=1.85), representing a statistically significant increase (p<0.001).
Conclusion: Simulation-based training is highly effective in rapidly improving crash cart knowledge among new nursing staff, effectively moving the majority from inadequate to adequate competency levels. However, the persistence of a subgroup (26%) requiring improvement highlights the need for targeted remediation and ongoing assessment. This training model should be integral to nursing induction programs to ensure emergency preparedness.
