Study summary

This study aims to investigate the effects of artificial intelligence-based virtual human simulation training on students' learning outcomes in critical care knowledge and clinical skills, as well as its effects on learning motivation, clinical confidence, learning satisfaction, and critical thinking disposition.

Read the detailed description

Critical care requires timely patient assessment, clinical judgment, and appropriate intervention, yet respiratory therapy students may have limited opportunities to experience complex clinical situations before entering clinical training. Traditional teaching methods are often based on lectures, case discussions, and demonstrations, and may be limited by available facilities, equipment, and clinical cases. AI-based virtual human simulation provides a safe and repeatable environment in which students can practice clinical decision-making and receive immediate feedback. This study will recruit eligible respiratory therapy students who voluntarily participate in AI-based critical care simulation training and will compare pre- and post-training assessments of learning outcomes, self-efficacy, and learning experience. The training is expected to improve students' critical care knowledge, clinical reasoning, confidence, and learning engagement, and the findings may provide a reference for future pre-clinical training and AI-assisted respiratory therapy education.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Examination score of pre-intervention

    score of pre-intervention (maximun 100 and minimum 0), higher means a better outcome

    Time frame: pre-intervention

  2. Examination score of post-intervention

    score of post-intervention (maximun 100 and minimum 0), higher means a better outcome

    Time frame: immediately after the intervention

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
