• Lead Sponsor: National University of Singapore

Brief Summary

The aim of this study is to study the effectiveness of interprofessional advanced cardiac life support (IP-ACLS) training in improving collaborative skills, self-efficacy and emotion regulation among fourth-year nursing students using a prospective, open-label, non-randomized controlled design.

The investigators hypothesized that students who participated in the IP-ACLS training are more likely to have better:

1. collaborative skills

2. self-efficacy

3. emotion regulation.

Detailed Description

A total sample size of 120 fourth year nursing students will be used. Subjective measures and objective measure are used. Principal Investigator or trained part-time undergraduate student research assistants will recruit nursing students in scheduled identical sessions. Informed consent will be obtained after an explanation of the nature, purpose, and potential risks of the study according to the information sheet.

Pre-test was conducted before starting the IP-ACLS training on Day 1; post-test 1 was conducted immediately after the IP-ACLS training on Day 2; post-test 2 was conducted 1 month after the IP-ACLS training before or after their scheduled lecture break. The students were asked to complete the self-report questionnaire in approximately 10-15 min before and after 2-day IP-ACLS workshop and 1 month follow-up.

Assessment of Interprofessional Team Collaboration Scale (AITCS), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) were used to measure collaborative skill, self-efficacy and emotion regulation using self-administration.

The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check whether the scores followed normal distributions. Independent sample t test was used for normally distributed data, whereas Mann-Whitney U test was used for non-normally distributed data to compare the AITCS, GSE and ERQ scores in two groups.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE)	3 years	This is a 10-item, 4-point unidimensional scale. Items had a response range from 1 (not at all true) to 4 (exactly true) (Schwarzer \& Jerusalem, 1995).; The sum scores ranged from 10 to 40. The higher the total score, the more self-efficacious the respondent.
Assessment of Interprofessional Team Collaboration Scale (AITCS)	3 years	It consists of 37 items with 3 subscales including partnership (19 items), cooperation (11 items) and coordination (7 items) (Orchard, King, Bezzina, 2012).; Items incorporated on a five-point Likert scale (with 5 = always, 4 = most of the time, 3 = occasionally, 2 = rarely, and 1 = never) allowing respondents to rate their current feeling about their team and themselves.; The sum score ranged from 37 to 185. The higher the scores obtained, the more collaborative skills had.
Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ)	3 years	Used to measure emotion regulation which consists of two scales corresponding to two different emotion regulation strategies: cognitive reappraisal (6 items) and expressive suppression (4 items) (Gross \& John, 2003).; The 10 items are rated on a 7-point-Likert scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The sum score ranged from 10 to 70, participants with higher total score have better emotion regulation.
