“…This could reduce the ability of the current and future generations of caregivers, endanger patient safety, and ultimately increase the risk of ECTrelated complications (12). Several studies have expressed concerns about the obvious weaknesses in the field of skills, competence, and supervision in ECT (13,14). Therefore, this study aimed to find a method to enhance the skill and competence of ECT caregivers.…”

Background: Considering the high risk and vital nature of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) process, as well as the subsequent intensive, essential, and life-saving cares, it is necessary to promote the skills of nurses providing this kind of care. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the effect of simulation on developing the quality of care in nurses working in the ECT department. Methods: This experimental study compared two groups before and after the intervention. Fifty nurses who met the inclusion criteria were randomly allocated into two groups of intervention and control. Low-tech (static) task trainer was used for simulation-based medical education (SBME) in the intervention group. Data were collected using a checklist to investigate the quality of nursing care before and after the intervention. Results: The mean scores obtained from initial preparation subscales, preparation of tools and equipment, measures during ECT, post-ECT measures, and checking patient’s status in pre-test and post-test in the intervention group were significantly different. This suggests that simulation intervention in small groups is effective in improving the quality of nursing care in ECT (P < 0.05). Conclusions: Our results showed that promoting ECT nursing care knowledge among the nurses in small groups by simulation method is an effective intervention.

“…[1] A survey on psychiatric trainees revealed that inadequate training and supervision resulted in lower confidence and lesser ability to administer ECT in clinical settings. [2] This observation can be extended to the areas of other brain-stimulation techniques in India, given the lack of focused training programs on advanced brain-stimulation applications.…”
