简要总结
This study evaluated an online simulation based educational program designed to improve clinician communication skills. Participants were clinicians and clinical trainees who completed simulated patient interactions and communication assessments as part of an educational evaluation. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either an AI based simulation training program or standard educational materials. Communication performance was assessed using standardized rating methods in simulated scenarios. The study did not involve patients or health related clinical interventions.
详细描述
This study was a randomized educational evaluation of an AI based online simulation training program designed to support the development of clinician communication skills. Participants included clinicians and clinical trainees who routinely engage in patient communication as part of their professional roles.
Participants were randomly assigned to either the SOPHIE simulation training program or a control educational condition consisting of standard instructional materials. All participants completed simulated patient encounters that were evaluated by trained standardized patients and expert raters using structured communication assessment tools.
The primary outcomes of interest focused on communication skill performance in simulated scenarios as well as participant feedback on the educational experience. The study did not involve real patients clinical care or health related interventions and was conducted as an educational research project.
The study was approved by the institutional review board prior to participant enrollment. It was registered retrospectively in ClinicalTrials.gov at the request of a journal during manuscript preparation.

研究组 & 干预措施
SOPHIE Simulation Training
Participants assigned to this arm completed an AI based online simulation training program designed to support the development of clinician communication skills. The training involved interactive virtual patient scenarios focused on communication practice in simulated clinical encounters.
干预措施: SOPHIE Simulation Training (Behavioral)
Control Educational Materials
Participants assigned to this arm completed standard educational materials related to clinician communication skills. These materials included instructional content such as videos and readings and did not involve interactive simulation training.
干预措施: Control Educational Materials (Behavioral)
结局指标
主要结局
Mean Communication Performance Improvement Score in Simulated Patient Encounters
时间窗: Immediately following completion of the assigned educational condition
Communication performance was assessed during simulated patient encounters using standardized rating instruments completed by trained standardized patients or expert reviewers. The mean communication performance score improvement was calculated for each participant and used to describe communication skills following the assigned educational condition.
次要结局
- Immediately following completion of the assigned educational condition(Immediately following simulated patient encounter)
- Mean Empathy Rating Score in Simulated Encounters(Immediately following simulated patient encounter)
- Mean Participant Self Reported Confidence Score(Immediately following completion of the educational intervention)
- Mean Usability Score of the Educational Intervention(Immediately following completion of the educational intervention)
- Total Participant Satisfaction Score(Immediately following completion of the educational intervention)
