About this study
Official title: Effectiveness Of Simulation Based Training Versus Traditional Lecturing For Outbreak Investigation Among Medical Students: A Randomised Control Trial
Transferring classroom learning to real-life situations is a challenge. Tabletop simulation exercises offer a low-cost and context-specific approach for educating students on appropriate responses during health emergencies.
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate the effectiveness of simulation-based training versus traditional lecture methods in enhancing outbreak investigation skills among medical students.
Read the detailed description
This randomized controlled trial will assess the efficacy of simulation-based training compared to conventional lecture methods in improving medical students' outbreak investigation skills. it will be Conducted at CMH Lahore Medical College over nine months, the trial will include 4th year MBBS students with no prior outbreak investigation training. Participants will be randomized into two groups: an intervention group undergoing simulation-based exercises and a control group receiving traditional lectures.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Tabletop simulation based teachingOther
a pre tested and validated questionnaire was used as a tabletop simulation method on Cholera outbreak.
conventional class room teachingOther
conventional class room lecture using power point was delivered on Cholera outbreak.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Tabletop Simulation Based Teaching | Experimental | A pre tested and validated questionnaire was use tabletop simulation method on cholera outbreak Receives: Other: Tabletop simulation based teaching |
| Conventional Class room teaching | Active comparator | conventional class room lecture was used on cholera outbreak. Receives: Other: conventional class room teaching |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Outcome will be measured via knowledge, expertise in outbreak investigation, and attitude toward community medicine.
The primary outcome will be measured using the Cholera Outbreak Investigation Training Questionnaire (COIT-Q)-a self-designed, pre-validated tool that will evaluate:
Knowledge Domain: 10 MCQs (1 mark each; total = 10 marks)
Skills Domain: 6 scenario-based items rated 0-2 each (total = 12 marks)
Attitude Domain: 5 Likert-scale items (1-5 per item; total = 25 marks)
Measured: at baseline and after two week of teaching methodology applied
