Abstract

Objective: To compare the perceptions of participants before and after a one-day workshop on Simulation-based Education. The other objective was to determine the feedback of participants about the one day workshop on Simulation-based Education. Methods: In March 2023, a one-day workshop on Simulation-Based-Education (SBE) was conducted by the Department of Medical Education of Fazaia Ruth Pfau Medical Education in collaboration with the foreign guest faculty through zoom. This workshop was conducted with the participants (faculty members) of the Certificate program. The study adopted quasi experimental (pretest posttest) research design. For data collection we used a validated questionnaire which compromises of three parts. Data was analyzed using SPSS 23. This is a semi-structured questionnaire which consists of four parts. The first part entails the demographic data of the participants. The second structured part collects the perception of participants through 26 statements on 5 points Likert scale (strongly disagree = 1, disagree = 2, agree to some extent = 3, agree = 4, strongly agree = 5). Results: The mean diference in participant perceptions was significant (P<0.05)on 13 statements: Improves communication skills (pretest 3.05±1.050, posttest 4.20±1.056; p=0.004), enhance teamwork (pretest 3.30±0.979, posttest 4.30±0.923; p=0.004), overcomes the challenge of uncooperative patients during real practice (pretest 3.80±0.696, posttest 4.30±0.470; p= 0.008), enact live patients (pretest 2.70±0.923, posttest 3.65±1.040; p=0.004), incopororation into medical education (pretest 3.20±0.894, posttest 4.40±0.503; p=0.000), provide safe, reliastic and conducive learning environment (pretest 2.85±0.875, postest4.00±0.795; p=0.000), provide easy learning (pretest 2.75±0.716, posttest 4.05±0.605 p=0.000), decrease ethical issues with more repeated practice (pretest 2.75±0.716, posttest 3.90±0.788; p=0.000), reduces the efort put in by a faculty in clinical teaching (pretest 2.80±0.696, posttest 3.45±0.999; p=0.039), supplement to clinical practice (pretest 2.75±0.444, posttest 4.55±0.510; p=0.000), evidence required for simulation activities (pretest 2.95±0.605, posttest 4.10±0.641; p=0.000), able to add simulation in clinical subject (pretest 3.15±1.089, posttest 3.80±0.834; p= 0.055), can instruct complex skills without simulation (pretest 2.55±0.887, posttest 3.40±0.883; p=0.018). Conclusions: The study signifiacnaty changed the faculty members' perceptions of simulation-based education.These encouraging findings may influence their future practice in simulation-based education, allowing them to provide safe, high-quality health care in the workplace and, eventually, enhance patient outcomes.
