Feasibility and Acceptability of a Low-Tech Simulation Using Local Resources in a Rural Community Hospital.

Simulation is an effective tool to learn or refresh skills and knowledge, but numerous barriers prevent the routine use of simulation. The purpose of this project was to assess the feasibility and acceptability of the use of a low-tech simulation kit by the hospital's personnel for overcoming those barriers. A phenomenological qualitative approach using semistructured interviews was conducted with a convenience sample of 5 Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs) and a student registered nurse anesthetist at a rural community hospital.
