Did they use it? A qualitative study exploring transfer of ‘attitudes and behaviours’ from simulation to workplace

Effective team working between the medical and nursing professions is vital to the success of any resuscitation and the ‘attitudes and behaviours’ of team members are as important as knowledge and skills. Paediatric simulation improves the acquisition of knowledge and skills, at least in the short-term, but similar evidence is lacking for attitudes and behaviours. This article explores candidates’ perceptions as to whether training received in attitudes and behaviours in a neonatal simulation course is transferred to the workplace.
