An interventional study of Simulation techique in Knowledge, Attitudes, Practice, sponsored by Instituto Tecnologico y de Estudios Superiores de Monterey. Status unknown at 1 site in Mexico. Open to participants aged 21 Years to 24 Years, including healthy volunteers. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2017-07-18.

In this project, the authors aim to evaluate the use of high fidelity simulation as a method of evaluation of general skills in fifth year medical students about patient quality and safety in a hospital setting.
Undergraduate training in patient safety and healthcare quality is often overlooked by medical curricula.
Simulation techniques have been used in different subjects as a support for learning invasive techniques in surgical areas, but it has not been used to improve knowledge and performance on patient quality domains that would be applied in real life scenarios.
This project is a randomized trial for medical students undertaking the course in "Quality and Patient Safety". The authors will randomized students at the beginning of each rotation into two groups: a) an intervention group (where students will take the simulation and will be evaluated by a final written exam); and b) a control group (where students will take only the usual teaching in classrooms and will be evaluated with the same written exam). Furthermore, students will be asked to fill a questionnaire to obtain their attitudes and knowledge about the topics in quality and safety in healthcare.
409 studies on the registry are indexed under Behavior; 168 are open to participants now.
This study's planned enrollment of 140 is above the median of 120 across 321 interventional studies indexed under Behavior.

Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Inclusion Criteria:
This is the control group. Participants in this group will take the usual course without simulation techniques.
This is the intervention group. Participants in this group will to take the course with simulation techniques.
Procedure: Simulation techique
The intervention group will be in a simulated case with mock scenarios and interaction by 'acting out' the clinical situation where knowledge and attitudes about safety in hospitalized patients will be assessed.
Mean score of skills and knowledge about quality and patient safety
Assessed by questionnaire evaluation of knowledge in the area of patient safety and quality of healthcare using a multiple choice question examination and a survey. This outcome is measured in a scale from 0 to 100 individually and it will be averaged throughout each group.
Time frame: One year
Qualitative Evaluation of Attitudes and preferences towards patient safety
Assessed by interview of individuals about their attitudes and behaviours
Time frame: One year
Plan to share: Undecided
