Study summary

This study explores the evolving landscape of operating room (OR) simulation by identifying key trends, addressing potential biases, and providing actionable recommendations for improvement. Using data-driven analysis, the research uncovers patterns in skill development and decision-making, offering insights into the effectiveness of current OR simulation programs. The study also tackles biases in data collection, including selection and response bias, ensuring the reliability of findings.

Read the detailed description

The effectiveness of simulation training is crucial in medical education, particularly for skills retention and perceived effectiveness. This section evaluates the overall effectiveness of SimMan3G sessions in enhancing clinical skills among participants.

Objectives

  • To analyze the correlation between the number of SimMan3G sessions and skill retention.
  • To assess the perceived effectiveness of simulation training.
  • To provide actionable recommendations for improving simulation training effectiveness.

Study population

The study population consists of medical trainees enrolled in the MEDI 045 anesthesia program at King Saud Medical City.

Participants will include individuals with varying levels of clinical experience who are eligible for simulation-based training.

Participants will be randomly selected from a list of eligible trainees in the MEDI 045 program.

Inclusion criteria

  • Participants enrolled in the MEDI 045 anesthesia program at King Saud Medical City.
  • Medical students or trainees with prior exposure to basic clinical simulation.
  • Aged 18 years or older.
  • Willingness to participate in simulation-based training sessions.
  • Ability to provide informed consent.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participants with prior advanced simulation training in anesthesia.
  • Individuals with documented cognitive impairments or learning disabilities that may interfere with the study tasks.
  • Refuse to participate in post-simulation assessments or follow-ups.
  • Lack of fluency in the language of instruction used in the simulation.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in Cognitive Bias in Clinical Decision-Making

    Evaluate the change in cognitive bias during simulated clinical scenarios using the Cognitive Bias Assessment Tool (CBAT). This tool assesses the presence of cognitive biases (e.g., confirmation bias, anchoring bias) in decision-making. The unit of measure will be the percentage of bias-free decisions or correct decisions made by participants, based on the CBAT scoring system. The assessment will occur immediately after simulation training (within 1 day) and again 6 months post-training to measure both immediate and long-term changes in cognitive bias.

    Time frame: Immediately after simulation training (within 1 day) Over 6 months post-training
