ABSTRACT

Objective: To explore the application effects of mind mapping combined with scenario simulation training on the ability training of junior nurses in hospital transfer of patients with critical burns and trauma. Methods: A prospective randomized controlled study was conducted. From December 2019 to December 2020, 55 female junior nurses from the Institute of Burn Research of the First Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University (the Third Military Medical University) who met the inclusion criteria were enrolled in this study and divided into routine group (27 nurses, aged (24.0±0.9) years) and combined group (28 nurses, aged (24.2±0.8) years), according to the random number table. The nurses in routine group were trained with hospital transfer of patients with critical burns and trauma by theory combined with operational skill, and the nurses in combined group were trained with hospital transfer of patients with critical burns and trauma by mind mapping combined with scenario simulation training. Before and after the training, the self-made theoretical examination papers and skill assessment items were used for the examination and assessment to nurses, and their scores were calculated and compared. The self-made emergency ability scoring system was used to evaluate the emergency disposal ability of nurses from five dimensions, including team cooperation ability, emergency response ability, operative technique ability, specialized business ability, and nurse-patient communication ability, and their scores were calculated and compared. The non-standard implementation rates of transfer nursing measures, such as incomplete preparation of goods, poor communication effect of patients, inadequate pipeline nursing, unclear handover, and inadequate final treatment, were calculated and compared in the process of transporting highly simulated human (hereinafter referred to as simulated human) by nurses before and after training; and the rate of disease change and successful rate of transport of simulated human were calculated and compared after training. After assessment, self-made satisfaction questionnaire was used to compare nurses’ satisfaction with the training mode, content, and effects. Data were statistically analyzed with independent sample t test, Pearson chi-square test, or Yates corrected chi-square test. Results: Fifty-five enrolled nurses were fully involved in the training, examination, assessment, and questionnaire filling. Before training, there were no statistically significant differences in theoretical examination and skill assessment scores between the 2 groups (P>0.05); After training, the theoretical examination and skill assessment scores of nurses in combined group were significantly higher than those in routine group (with t values of -3.89 and -4.24, respectively, P<0.05). Before training, there were no statistically significant differences in the scores of each item of emergency disposal ability between the 2 groups (P>0.05); after training, the scores in terms of team cooperation ability, emergency response ability, operative technique ability, specialized business ability, and nurse-patient communication ability of nurses in combined group were significantly higher than those in routine group (with t values of -6.49, -6.44, -2.21, -2.85, and -2.34, respectively, P<0.05). Before training, there were no statistically significant differences in the non-standard implementation rates of transfer nursing measures of nurses between the 2 groups (P>0.05); after training, the non-standard rates of incomplete preparation of goods, unclear handover, and inadequate final treatment of nurses in combined group were significantly lower than those in routine group (with t values of 3.87, 5.89, and 5.28, respectively, P<0.05). After training, the rate of disease change of simulated human of nurses in combined group was 7.14% (2/28), which was significantly lower than 33.33% (9/27) in routine group (χ2=5.89, P<0.05); the successful rate of transport was 96.43% (27/28), which was significantly higher than 74.07% (20/27) in routine group (χ2=3.87, P<0.05). After assessment, the total score of training satisfaction and scores of satisfaction with training mode and training effect of nurses in combined group were significantly higher than those in routine group (with t values of 5.22, 4.67, and 10.71, respectively, P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in the satisfaction score on training content between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusions: Evidence-based mind mapping combined with scenario simulation training significantly improves the nursing skills and emergency handling capabilities of junior nurses in transferring patients with critical burns and trauma.
