Objective:
To evaluate in situ simulations as a training strategy for the initial care of trauma victims in a hospital fire scenario.
Methods:
A qualitative, descriptive, and exploratory study was conducted using in situ simulations, following the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research (COREQ). It was developed in a large hospital in the capital of Paraná with the participation of 16 professionals. Data analysis was conducted using Bardin's Content Analysis and categories were evaluated based on Kolb's theoretical framework for experiential learning.
Results:
The responses were categorized into six categories, which allowed us to highlight simulation as a qualification strategy for professionals working in hospitals during disasters.
Conclusion:
In situ simulations demonstrated the potential for training in critical situations, promoting multi-professional integration, strengthening safety culture, and identifying weaknesses in institutional protocols. Periodic inclusion of this type of training in hospital safety plans is recommended.
