Brief Summary

Continuing Medical Education (CME) has been proved that not only improving healthcare provider performance but also improving the patient outcome.Previous studies results showed that long established and multiple CME sessions, various methods and interactive sessions help the learners to improve their competency. CME among the nurses seem to be more difficult than in the physicians. Regarding to work schedule, lack of support from institution especially funding. Outcome-based continuing professional development course that provide practical skills sessions and give a chance for learners to reflect themselves help the learner to determine the performance gap between the learner real life practice and the standard of care. So in term of professional development, the practitioner can improve their competency from clinical level to professional level and finally managerial level. After graduation,There are just only few anesthesia education courses for nurse anesthetists in each year. These may be not enough in order to maintain either knowledge or essential skills needed in anesthesia real life practice. The primary objective of this is to determine that which kinds of knowledge and skills in anesthesia that the nurse anesthetists in our institution lack off.

Conditions

Anesthesia Competences (Self-evaluation)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• determine level of knowledge and skills in anesthesia among nurse anesthetists

  level of competency (1-10)

  from 0 to 35 years of experience in anesthesia

Secondary Outcomes (1)

• correlation between anesthesia non-technical skills (ANTS) and years of experience among nurse anesthetists.

  from 0 to 35 years of experience in anesthesia

Study Arms (1)

Nurse anesthetist

In this study, the investigator team designs to use self-evaluating form as a tool for any competencies evaluation. The Numerical Rating Scale (range from 1-10, 1= least competency, 10 =highest competency) will be used for any anesthesia skills evaluation. The participant could download the self-evaluating form (google form, no personal identity record) via QR code.
