Non-technical skills of medical students in the course of pediatric emergency simulations are associated with their mindfulness: an observational cohort study
Abstract:BackgroundHigh fidelity medical simulations allow for teaching medical skills in safe and realistic conditions. Pediatric teams of emergency departments work under extreme stress, which affects high-level cognitive functions, specifically attention and memory, and increases the already high stakes for young doctors. Lapses in attention increase the risk of serious consequences such as medical errors, failure to recognize life-threatening signs and symptoms, and other essential patient safety issues.Mindfulness… Show more
