An observational study of Pre and Post Simulation Session Self-directed Learning Time, run by Prince of Songkla University at 1 site in Thailand.
Trial summary
As the standard of best practice, care of complicated or difficult patient needs not only knowledge but also including skills and clinical thinking in many aspects. Simulation is now accepted as the way of teaching for adult learners. Read more about this study

About this study
As the standard of best practice, care of complicated or difficult patient needs not only knowledge but also including skills and clinical thinking in many aspects.
Simulation is now accepted as the way of teaching for adult learners. This learning method can help students to apply their knowledge, practical skills and non-technical skills. A systematic review study showed that self-directed learning (SDL) in health professions education is associated with moderate improvement in the knowledge domain. SDL also help the learners to improve self-efficacy and the learning outcomes in complicated tasks.In this study, the investigators wanted to evaluate that simulation can enhance student to do SDL in the both pre and post session period.
Read the detailed description
After approval from the instution's Ethics Committee, a prospective cohort study was conducted between November 2017 to March 2018. Twenty-five anesthesia residents were participated in this study. Students were noticed about the simulation classes which are emergencies in pediatric anesthesia and complications at one-month prior the day of practice. The list of standard references was given. On the day of study, at the institute's simulation center, students were voluntarily separated into two groups, directed- learner and observer. Post class debriefing sessions were done as routine activities. After the class, the investigator invited the students to be enrolled in this study by using the flyers. Following the consent process, three consecutive questionnaires (day 0 ,30, 90) were sent to the subjects. The data analysis will be done by using R program. The statistically significance in this study was classified at p <0.05.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
