Abstract: Background: Medical errors are rife nationwide. Since most errors are preventable, focus has been placed on improving medical education, including non-technical skills. Simulation is a tool used to help train medical professionals in high acuity, low occurrence events without putting patients at risk. Purpose: The purpose of this DNP project was to assess the effect of an educational intervention on SRNAs’ non-technical skills including task management, situational awareness, decision making, and teamwork during an anesthesia crisis simulation. Methods: This project was a pilot study with an observational design. A convenience sample of ten SRNAs was randomly split into two groups. The first group participated in an anesthesia crisis management simulation (ACRM) without receiving an educational intervention on non-technical skills, while the second group took part in the simulation after learning about non-technical skills and the benefits of ACRM. The Anesthetist Non-technical Skills (ANTS) rating tool was used to evaluate each participant’s performance in the simulation. Results: Mann-Whitney U for independent samples t-test was used to analyze data. There were statistically significant differences between the control group and intervention group in the situational awareness (p = 0.032) and decision making (p = 0.032) categories. There was no statistically significant difference between groups for the task management (p = 0.095) and teamwork (p = 0.841) categories. Recommendations and Conclusions: Simulation should be implemented into the curriculum of nurse anesthesia schools because it improves SRNA confidence and performance. Developing competence and refining skills in a simulated setting could translate to better patient safety and improved outcomes.
