A simulation-based training of trainers programme on prevention and management of pressure injury was held at CIME. This programme aimed to engage master trainers in the coaching of new trainers that are less experienced to equip them with the required skills and knowledge in this area.
Different themes were planned as a part of this initiative for example: Braden score monitoring, skin bundle, stages, moisture lesion, etc. It allowed trainer participants to learn, share and build their competency in assessing as well as managing pressure injuries. The objectives of this training were to learn comprehensive skin assessment, understand skin bundle for prevention of pressure ulcer, discuss the importance of pressure ulcer risk assessment, identify common barriers to accurate scoring using the braden scale, and differentiate between pressure ulcer and other wounds. Mid and low fidelity simulation were used to teach these concepts.
This was the first time we conducted a ToT programme in this particular field. The aim is to build a pool of competent instructors who can then train other people in this field. Instead of having just few trainers who teach this field for a long time, there would be multiple trainers teaching the same course at the same time as a part of the ToT model. This would ensure a broader reach as well as programme sustainability, and better time management.
