Interprofessional Education of Medical Students Using Medical Simulation

Not Applicable

Active, not recruiting

• Conditions: Medical Students
• Interventions: Other: Interprofessional education

• Registration Number: NCT05817682
• Lead Sponsor: Andrzej Frycz Modrzewski Krakow University

Brief Summary

Due to the growing role of medical simulation in the education of medical students and the development of cooperation in interdisciplinary teams in the health care sector, a study was designed to examine the relationship between the competences and resources of students and the role of education through simulation classes based on the development of technical and in cooperation with specialists in these fields. Researchers want to focus on students' levels of stress and anxiety, coping strategies, and self-efficacy. An important element will be the self-assessment of students on the level of their non-technical competences.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Evaluation of the impact of interprofessional education using the simulation method on self-efficacy.	10 months	1. General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) with the total score calculated by finding the sum of all the items and ranges between 10 and 40, with higher score indicating more self-efficacy.
Evaluation of the impact of interprofessional education using the simulation method on student stress level.	10 month	A 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) for assessing how often a respondent thought and felt in the given way in the last month using a five-point Likert scale. The result of the measurement is the stress severity index. The PSS score is obtained by summing across all items. Higher scores indicate higher levels of perceived stress.
Evaluation of the impact of interprofessional education using the simulation method on stress coping.	10 month	The Stress Coping Inventory (Mini COPE). The respondent determines how often he/she acts in the described way when experiencing a stressful situation using a four-point Likert scale (0-I almost never do that, 1-I rarely do that, 2-I often do that, 3-I almost always do that). Every statement is assigned to one of 14 stress-coping categories.
Evaluation of the impact of interprofessional education on soft-skill development	10 months	1. Self-assessment form in the field of soft skills - own study, which contains 17 statements describing soft skills in an interprofessional team. Respondents assess their development on a five-point Likert scale, where "1" means "I completely disagree" and "5" - "I completely agree".
Evaluation of the impact of interprofessional education using the simulation method on perception of medical professions.	10 month	Word Cloud - own study - a form used to assess the mutual perception of medical professions in an interprofessional team. The respondents choose five terms from the proposed word database.
Evaluation of the impact of interprofessional education using the simulation method on students anxiety.	10 month	A 20-item State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) for assessing trait anxiety and 20 for state anxiety. All items are rated on a 4-point scale (e.g., from "Almost Never" to "Almost Always"). Higher scores indicate greater anxiety.
Evaluation of the ongoing interprofessional education	10 months	1. A self - report questionnaire including a socio-demographic data sheet and questions regarding the motivation for choosing the field of study, as well as a form for the ongoing evaluation of Interdisciplinary Club classes to be completed before and after classes.
