Evaluating the Impact of Operating Room Simulations on Communication Skills and Patient Safety (EIORS-CPS)
Trial Parameters
Brief Summary
Simulation-based training has emerged as a valuable tool for enhancing communication skills among healthcare professionals. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of operating room (OR) simulations on the development of communication skills for patient safety. The study focused on two key areas: the development of communication skills for patient-centered care and the role of the WHO Surgical Safety Checklist in enhancing communication and patient safety during simulations.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Participants must be medical students enrolled in the MEDI 045 course at King Saud University. Must have prior exposure to basic patient safety and communication skills training. Age: 18-25 years. Students must voluntarily consent to participate in the study and complete the required simulations and assessments. Exclusion Criteria: Students who have already completed formal simulation-based training on communication or patient safety outside the MEDI 045 curriculum. Students are unable to participate in simulation sessions due to scheduling conflicts or medical reasons. Participants were unwilling to provide informed consent.
