{"pk":14874,"title":"Training Leaders in Trauma Resuscitation: Teacher and  Learner Perspectives on Ideal Methods","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Introduction:\n Effective leadership improves patient care during medical and trauma resuscitations.  While dedicated training programs can improve leadership in trauma resuscitation, we have a limited  understanding of the optimal training methods. Our objective was to explore learners’ and teachers’  perceptions of effective methods of leadership training for trauma resuscitation.\nMethods:\n We performed a qualitative exploration of learner and teacher perceptions of leadership  training methods using a modified grounded theory approach. We interviewed 28 participants,  including attending physicians, residents, fellows, and nurses who regularly participated in trauma  team activations. We then analyzed transcripts in an iterative manner to form codes, identify themes,  and explore relationships between themes.\nResults:\n Based on interviewees’ perceptions, we identified seven methods used to train leadership  in trauma resuscitation: reflection; feedback; hands-on learning; role modeling; simulation; group  reflection; and didactic. We also identified three major themes in perceived best practices in training  leaders in trauma resuscitation: formal vs informal curriculum; training techniques for novice vs more  senior learner; and interprofessional training. Participants felt that informal training methods were the  most important part of training, and that a significant part of a training program for leaders in trauma  resuscitation should use informal methods. Learners who were earlier in their training preferred more  supervision and guidance, while learners who were more advanced in their training preferred a greater  degree of autonomy. Finally, participants believed leadership training for trauma resuscitation should  be multidisciplinary and interprofessional.\nConclusion:\n We identified several important themes for training leaders in trauma resuscitation,  including using a variety of different training methods, adapting the methods used based on the  learner’s level of training, and incorporating opportunities for multidisciplinary and interprofessional  training. More research is needed to determine the optimal balance of informal and formal  training, how to standardize and increase consistency in informal training, and the optimal  way to incorporate multidisciplinary and interprofessional learning into a leadership in trauma  resuscitation training program.","language":"en","license":{"name":"Creative Commons Attribution 4.0","short_name":"CC BY 4.0","text":"Attribution — You must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made.
