The survey questionnaire was designed to evaluate participants’ communication skills, leadership, team dynamics, competency in ACLS and perception regarding simulation as a learning method. The paired t-tests were performed to compare pre and post simulation survey responses. The quantitative data were managed and analysed using Microsoft Excel.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Results: </strong>Fifty seven emergency staffs participated in the study. In the communication domain pre-simulation survey mean likert score of close loop communication was 2.68, SBAR was 2.54 and PEARL was 2.25 while the post-simulation survey were 3.19, 3.05 and 2.96 respectively. In leadership pre-survey assessment of coordinating team members was 2.61 and summarising events skill was 2.58 while the post-survey scores were 2.91 and 3.02 respectively. The team dynamics pre-survey of the teamwork experience was 2.63 while post-survey was 3.07. The competency pre-survey of competency level in ACLS was 2.51 while the post-survey was 2.88. The pre-survey regarding considering simulation a good method of training was 3.32 while the post-survey was 3.56. All the survey questionnaires of each domain showed the increased difference that is statically significant with p-values <0.001.</span></p> <p class="p1"><span class="s1"><strong>Conclusions: </strong>Simulation training is an effective and useful educational technique for training the health personnel working in emergency service.</span></p>}, number={1}, journal={Medical Journal of Shree Birendra Hospital}, author={Amatya, Yogendra and Shrestha, Susmita}, year={2021}, month={Feb.}, pages={12–18} }
