Abstract

The paper focuses on recent advances in the development of a simulation-based training program for patient handling. The program [1] intends to support caregivers in the construction of a relevant and efficient gesture, integrating situational variations, preserving health and encouraging the autonomy of patients: the “reasoned handling care”. Videos of scenario-based simulations are made during the training session and discussed with the trainees. Scenarios used to be designed by the trainer. In this experiment, trainees were asked to design themselves the simulation scenarios. It was hypothesized that designing scenarios would increase the trainees’ capacities for situational awareness. The methodology that was used and the benefits and limits of the participatory design of scenarios are presented and discussed.
