The present study aims to develop a “gaming simulation” of drug selection by creating a simulated environment where medical errors occur. The game also incorporates elements such as calling out senior nurses and asking questions to them. The results reveal that three of the participant (one registered nurse and two undergraduate students) successfully completed all the procedures by giving the correct answers and making the correct decisions in the implementation of the game. These results may indicate the association between “resilience engineering” and medical care safety.
Furthermore, thorough information gathering ability and tendency not to omit crucial steps are suggested to be the core characteristics in nurses with high ability to deter medical accidents. It is suggested that the accident was prevented beforehand by the instantaneous situation judgment and danger prediction ability based on the clinical knowledge accumulated by the experience.
