Teaching the Social Determinants of Health to Nursing Students With Simulation

Not Applicable

Completed

• Conditions: Simulation of Physical Illness; Nurse's Role
• Interventions: Behavioral: Manikin-based simulation; Behavioral: Standardized patient simulation

• Registration Number: NCT05685082
• Lead Sponsor: University of Massachusetts, Boston

Brief Summary

The goal of this intervention study is to compare two different simulation modalities (standardized patient and manikin-based) in nursing student education. The main aim is to determine the effect of new scenarios on cultural awareness levels in two different types of simulation modalities and to determine the effect of new scenarios on social determinants of health knowledge levels in two different types of simulation modalities.

Participants will assign to two groups and will attend simulation sessions.

Detailed Description

The simulation session will contain prebriefing, simulation, and debriefing. The participants will be assigned to the simulation session.

* The first group will be the standardized patient group. They will ask to fill out the Cultural Awareness Scale and social determinants of health knowledge. Then, they will attend prebriefing, standardized patient simulation, and debriefing.

* The second group will be the manikin-based group. They will ask to fill out the Cultural Awareness Scale and social determinants of health knowledge. Then, they will attend prebriefing, manikin-based simulation, and debriefing.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Manikin-based group	Manikin-based simulation	The manikin-based simulation participants will receive a simulation with manikins on how to identify social determinants of health in an individual
Standardized patient group	Standardized patient simulation	The standardized patient simulation participants will receive a simulation with standardized patients on how to identify social determinants of health in an individual

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Change from baseline cultural awareness level on the 36 questions Cultural Awareness Scale	Three hour	The Cultural Awareness Scale is a validated, reliable, and self-reported instrument assessing cultural awareness levels. Each statement is graded from 1=Strongly Disagree to 7=Strongly Agree. While lower scores indicate less cultural awareness, higher scores indicate greater cultural awareness (minimum = 36, maximum = 252).
Change from baseline social determinants knowledge on the 10 questions Social Determinants of Health Survey	Three hour	Social Determinants of Health Survey is a 10-question multiple-choice survey created by researchers by searching the literature. The number of responses to the answer choice is determined. The lower scores indicate fewer social determinants of health knowledge and higher scores indicate greater social determinants of health knowledge (minimum = 0, maximum = 10).
