The effectiveness of implicit bias training for simulated participants
Background
Simulated Participants (SPs) are crucial in healthcare education, providing simulated patient encounters. However, SPs may unintentionally introduce implicit biases, affecting student assessments.
Methods
This study involved 69 SPs who completed pre- and post-surveys. The training program included classroom sessions, discussions, and case studies to raise awareness of biases and promote behavioral changes.
Results
Statistical analysis, including Wilcoxon signed-rank tests and Odds Ratios, showed significant improvements in all measured variables post-training, with effect sizes (r) ranging from 0.26 to 0.55. The training increased SPs’ awareness of their biases and ability to take corrective actions.
Conclusions
These findings highlight the importance of targeted training programs to enhance medical simulations’ objectivity and educational value. Ongoing research is needed to generalize these results and explore additional strategies.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation.
We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria:
Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation
Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation
Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation
Leadership for simulation
Simulation operations
Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
