Description

Incident reports by nursing students show that they frequently encounter risks in helping transfer and move patients. In the present study using questionnaires, we examined 68 nursing students for changes in risk awareness and understanding of medical incidents after seeing a play where wherein a simulated elderly patient walking walks along a hallway of a hospital ward with a cane. Six risky areas in the play were chosen and photo images simulating those scenes were presented to the subjects. In the questionnaire, they were asked to point out risky points in the images. The frequency of the risk awareness at each risky point was compared before and after exposure to the play. The total number of identified risky points was significantly higher after exposure to the play (p < 0.001) (Wilcoxon signed-rank test). Particularly, the risks around the upper or lower body of a patient, the upper trunk of a nurse, and a wagon were identified more frequently after exposure to the play. In the free description regarding reasons for the risk judgments, the subjects listed several potential incidents, including falling and collision, the number of which increased after seeing the play. Self-assessment on one’s understanding of the medical incident was also significantly higher after the play. From these data, it is concluded that nursing students’ risk awareness and understanding of medical incidents increased after seeing a simulated scene.
