Background & Problems: In case of fire in the hemodialysis room, it is necessary to help patients get away from dialysis machines smoothly and safely and evacuate the room rapidly. Our unit is located on a higher floor. An investigation showed that the accuracy rate for fire response awareness among the staffs in our unit was only 57.9%, while the accuracy rate of fire response skill operations was only 57.4%. Moreover, 62.0% of the staffs were not clear about the task grouping and task content of fire response. Confusion in our unit regarding the definition of patient mobility led to staffs classifying patients based on subjective perceptions and standards. Moreover, the unit also lacked an audit system for fire emergency operations and fire-response-related learning materials. Purpose: To improve staff knowledge and skills related to fire emergency response in the hemodialysis room to 100%. Resolution: The project team worked out solutions such as adding a self-defense fire-fighting group to the dialysis information system, producing fire emergency response learning materials, establishing a seed personnel system, organizing on-the-job education, organizing fire response simulation drills, and implementing an audit system. Result: The awareness of fire emergency response and the accuracy of skill operation among the staff were both improved to 100%, and there were statistically significant differences between the pre-test and post-test paired t-test results. Furthermore, consistent implementation of these resolution measures maintained the staff's fire emergency response skills at 100% between June 2019 and May 2020. Conclusion: Tabletop simulation, practice drills, and skill operation audits are effective tools for improving the ability of staff in the hemodialysis room to respond to fire emergencies. It is recommended that institutions produce tabletop simulation props and combine regular on-site drills to improve the readiness of their staffs to respond to fire emergencies, which will shorten the response time during incidents. |
