Distractions and interruptions are leading causes of medication errors.

This is a big safety concern!

‼️Strategies for managing distractions and interruptions in clinical practice are not commonly taught in nursing education ‼️

We aimed to address this gap by creating and offering third year nursing students a distraction and interruption #simulation following the @NLN Jeffries Simulation Theory
@INACSL

Students and simulation facilitators reported positive experiences and perceptions of the distraction and interruption simulation.

6/

Key design elements such as creating psychological safety, simulation fidelity, and opportunities for #reflectivelearning contributed to a #positivelearning experience.

Our study supports the use of #simulation to develop key skills for managing distractions and interruptions during medication preparation in clinical practice.
