Healthy Aging Clinical Trial
Official title:
Interprofessional Learning and Simulation Versus Traditional Course on Healthy Aging: a Randomized Control Trial
Aging population is an important public health issue and require coordinated and
comprehensive response. Medical and nursing schools need to address challenges in health care
delivery, and interprofessional simulation-based education (IPSE) provides realistic learning
experiences in which interprofessional communication, roles and teamwork can be developed and
assessed.
The study aims to examine the effectiveness of delivering an IPSE program versus traditional
course to nursing and medical students. The primary outcome is improved communication skills,
assessed by Communication Skill Attitude Scale (CSAS) divided in two subscales: Positive
Attitude Scale (PAS) and Negative Attitude Scale (NAS).

Other | Students' self-confidence about learning in simulation. | The Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning Scale (SCLS). A total of 13 items assess the attitudes toward satisfaction with instruction and self-confidence in learning in simulation. For each item, participants indicated their personal feelings about a statement that described their own attitudes or beliefs. Response options are 1) strongly disagree, 2) disagree, 3) undecided, 4) agree, and 5) strongly agree using a Likert-style scale. Scores are calculated by summing responses; higher scores indicate more satisfaction and more self-confidence, respectively. | up to 1 week after intervention | |
Other | Students' perception about learning in simulation | Simulation Design Scale (SDS). A total of 20 items assess perceptions of objectives, information, support, problem solving, feedback, and fidelity in simulation. For each item, participants indicate their perceptions about a statement that described the presence of simulation design features. Response options for statements related to presence of simulation design features are 1) strongly disagree, 2) disagree, 3) undecided, 4) agree, 5) strongly agree, and NA) not applicable using a Likert-style scale. Scores are calculated by summing responses; higher scores represent increased recognition of design features in simulation. | up to 1 week after intervention | |
Other | Students' perception of the presence of educational best practices in simulation | Educational Practices Questionnaire (EPQ).The instrument consists in 16 items. For each item, participants indicated their perceptions about a statement that described presence of educational best practices. Items are rated on a Likert-type scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). Scores are calculated by summing responses; higher scores represent increased recognition of educational best practices in simulation. | up to 1 week after intervention | |
Primary | Communication skills. | Communication Skill Attitude Scale (CSAS).CSAS is a 26-item questionnaire in two dimensions that has been developed to measure positive and negative attitudes towards learning communication skills. Each of the two subscales consists of 13 items, the Positive Attitude Scale (PAS) and the Negative Attitude Scale (NAS). | From baseline to one month. | |
Secondary | Students' perception of the professional role of physician and nurse. | The measurement tool is the semantic differential test. It consists of a series of 16 bipolar adjective-pair scales for measuring psychological meanings related to three concepts: "me as a medical or nursing student", "physician using lifestyle medicine approach" and "nurse using lifestyle medicine approach".The meaning of the concept is measured by individual, selecting a point along a seven-point scale. The point selected indicates both the quality and intensity of the participant's subjective assessment of the association between the adjective pair and the related concept. | From baseline to one month |
