| الملخص: | <h3>Background</h3><p dir="ltr">Paramedics who perform patient triaging in case of a mass casualty incident generally receive triage training during their undergraduate educational program. Triage training can be facilitated using various simulation modalities together with theoretical training.</p><p><br></p><h3>Objectives</h3><p dir="ltr">The aim of this study is to determine the effectiveness of online scenario-based Visually Enhanced Mental Simulation (VEMS) on developing the casualty triage and management skills of paramedic students.</p><p><br></p><h3>Design</h3><p dir="ltr">The study was conducted using a single-group pre-test/post-test quasi-experimental design.</p><p><br></p><h3>Settings and participants</h3><p dir="ltr">The study was carried out in October 2020 with 20 volunteer students studying in the First and Emergency Aid program of a university in Turkey.</p><p><br></p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">After the online theoretical crime scene management and triage course, students completed a demographic questionnaire and a pre-VEMS assessment. They then took part in the online VEMS training and eventually completed the post-VEMS assessment. At the end of the session, they filed an online survey concerning VEMS.</p><p><br></p><h3>Results</h3><p dir="ltr">There is a statistically significant increase in the scores obtained by the students between the pre- and post-educational intervention assessment (p < 0.05). The majority of the students gave positive feedback concerning VEMS as an educational approach.</p><p><br></p><h3>Conclusion</h3><p dir="ltr">The results show that online VEMS is effective in helping paramedic students acquire casualty triage and management skills and that students thought it was an effective educational approach.</p><h2>Other Information</h2><p dir="ltr">Published in: International Emergency Nursing<br>License: <a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/" target="_blank">http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/</a><br>See article on publisher's website: <a href="https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ienj.2023.101262" target="_blank">https://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.ienj.2023.101262</a></p> |
