Abstract
BACKGROUND: Patients and caregivers need to perform ventricular assist device (VAD) self-care safely to help prevent complications (e.g., infection). We developed a VAD self-care simulation-based mastery learning (SBML) curriculum. We determined optimal minimum passing scores (MPSs) and evaluated effects of judge selection. METHODS: A multidisciplinary team created a VAD self-care SBML curriculum including simulated skills and knowledge examinations. Patients, caregivers, VAD coordinators, and physicians were expert judges who determined MPSs using the Mastery Angoff method. RESULTS: MPSs for the skills and knowledge examinations were high (range = 94-99% and 97% correct), respectively. Judges closely agreed on MPSs. CONCLUSIONS: Stakeholders set stringent MPSs for high-stakes VAD self-care.
