Impact of a Curriculum About Professionalism on Stress Response During a Critical Situation

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of a curriculum about professionalism on stress response during a critical situation in anesthesiology residents. Residents in anesthesiology will complete a training program on professionalism during their first postgraduate year. They will go through a standardized simulated scenario where they have to manage an intra-hospital cardiorespiratory arrest and then meet the patient's family. Stress response will be assessed and compared to a control group that did not receive the training program.

    STAI -State (State-Trait Anxiety Inventory), from 20 to 80, psychological stress response is higher when score is higher

Secondary outcomes

  1. Clinical performance on cardiopulmonary arrest

    Time frame: 1 year

    All simulations will be videotaped and the clinical performance of each participant will be assessed by an independent evaluator using a specific pre-established checklist

  2. Physiological stress response : Standard Deviation

    Time frame: 1 year

    Heart rate variability evaluated by Standard Deviation Normal to Normal, in milliseconds. Physiological stress response is higher when Standard Deviation Normal to Normal, is lower.

  3. Family meeting quality : Gather-Resources-Identify-Educate-Verify-Inquire-"Nuts and bolts"-Give

    Time frame: 1 year

    All simulations will be videotaped and the family meeting quality will be assessed by an independent. Score GRIEV-ING from 0 to 27 evaluator, using the Gather, Resources, Identify, Educate, Verify, Inquire, Nuts and bolts, Give), from 0 to 27, family meeting is better when score is higher
