Sažetak
Background:
Nurses in anaesthesia and intensive care frequently face emergency situations that demand high levels of preparedness. Safety tools and simulation-based training play a critical role in improving patient safety and team coordination.
Methods:
A cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted among 138 nurses and technicians in Croatia. Data were collected via a structured online questionnaire and analysed using descriptive and inferential statistics with PSPP.
Results:
A total of 91% of respondents found simulation training useful or partially useful, and 98% supported its mandatory implementation. Over one-third believed that safety tools in their institutions were not fully standardised. The most frequently reported barriers were time constraints, lack of equipment, and limited institutional support. A significant linear association was found between age and perception of usefulness (p = 0.006), while no significant difference was found by workplace (p = 0.969).
Conclusions:
Nurses in intensive care and anaesthesia units clearly recognise the need for safety tools and regular simulation-based training. However, numerous barriers call for strategic planning, institutional support, and the standardisation of educational approaches.
