“…A study carried out in Italy that used simulation training to develop teamwork skills and resource management in crisis in the context of burns with medical professionals showed the achievement of the goals and excellent general satisfaction with the methodology used. 19 This method, in addition to offering an opportunity for reflective learning, allows any significant deviations to be deepened so as to optimize team performance in future simulations and in real situations.…”

Objective: to analyze the perception of nurses regarding an educational intervention with innovative pedagogical methods on acute management of burns. Method: a qualitative and exploratory study based on Paulo Freire's sociocultural pedagogical approach. The educational intervention was carried out with 18 nurses who worked in the areas of urgency and emergency. The intervention was centered on active teaching-learning methodologies, in which the main teaching methods were case-based learning, conceptual maps, simulation training, and digital portfolio. Data was collected in November 2017 and October 2018, in the setting of a state public university, by means of a sociodemographic questionnaire, records produced from focus groups, field diaries and portfolios, which were analyzed based on data triangulation, using Bardin's content analysis technique. Results: four categories were identified: collaborative construction of knowledge based on autonomy and dialog between the students; learning with dynamism and joy; from problematizing reality to critical thinking; and education that leads to professional empowerment and confidence. Conclusion: the nurses perceived the educational intervention as positive, since the innovative and participatory teaching methods adopted contributed to the development of competences and skills, ensuring more critical thinking, autonomy and empowerment for these professionals. The study represents an advance in the scope of Nursing education and in the orientation of continuing education actions.

“…As an algorithmic scenario training, the “SIMline” program is inspired by courses that have already been established, like the ATLS and the ESBM. The “SIMline” program, however, combines both theory and practice over a period of 5 days, for a total of 21 h. In contrast to previously described burn care specific simulation courses [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ], the “hands on” portion entails a full-scale care process simulation training (FSCPST). FSCPSTs focus on the entire process of patient care, starting with the initial assessment in the emergency room (ER) and proceeding with diagnostic, therapeutic and logistic steps and decisions—such as following patient transfer to the OR or ICU.…”

“…Over the last years, SBME has become an important element in medical education, especially in residency training [ 9 ]. However, only a few examples of comprehensive simulated burn care training courses can be found in the literature [ 10 , 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 , 15 ].…”

“…These mainly focus on coaching medical staff in terms of teamwork and crisis resource management (CRM) [ 10 , 11 ]. To the best of our knowledge, no burn simulation programs specifically directed at undergraduate students have been introduced so far.…”

“…The simulation programs on burn care that can be found in the literature used questionnaires that had been filled out by the participants as an objective assessment. Moreover, they primarily focused on the evaluation and quality of the course, rather than the medical knowledge acquired by it [ 10 , 11 , 16 ].…”

Background: Management of burn injuries presents a complex and challenging situation for medical staff, especially for inexperienced young doctors. However, training on how to treat burn victims in the clinical setting is rarely taught in undergraduate medical classes. We have created the “SIMline”, a simulation training program explicitly designed for coaching medical students in burn management. Methods: A total of 43 students participated in the “SIMline” course, which took place at the training facility at the Medical University of Graz, between 2018 and 2019. The course provided theoretical classes, practical exercises, and a full-scale care process simulation training. The learning progress of the students was monitored via a formative integrated test. Results: Students showed great progress throughout the course of the “SIMline” program, as their test scores improved by an average of 88%. The passing rate was 0% at the first exam (prior to course) as compared to 87% at the final exam, taken after the training. Conclusions: Comprehensive practical training programs in burn care are underrepresented in medical education. The “SIMline” course presents a novel and effective approach in training medical students in burn management. However, follow-up evaluation is necessary to confirm long-term educational benefits.
