Summary

The aim of this study is to study the effectiveness of interprofessional advanced cardiac life support (IP-ACLS) training in improving collaborative skills, self-efficacy and emotion regulation among fourth-year nursing students using a prospective, open-label, non-randomized controlled design. The investigators hypothesized that students who participated in the IP-ACLS training are more likely to have better: 1. collaborative skills 2. self-efficacy 3. emotion regulation.

Detailed description

A total sample size of 120 fourth year nursing students will be used. Subjective measures and objective measure are used. Principal Investigator or trained part-time undergraduate student research assistants will recruit nursing students in scheduled identical sessions. Informed consent will be obtained after an explanation of the nature, purpose, and potential risks of the study according to the information sheet. Pre-test was conducted before starting the IP-ACLS training on Day 1; post-test 1 was conducted immediately after the IP-ACLS training on Day 2; post-test 2 was conducted 1 month after the IP-ACLS training before or after their scheduled lecture break. The students were asked to complete the self-report questionnaire in approximately 10-15 min before and after 2-day IP-ACLS workshop and 1 month follow-up. Assessment of Interprofessional Team Collaboration Scale (AITCS), General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE) and Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ) were used to measure collaborative skill, self-efficacy and emotion regulation using self-administration. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check whether the scores followed normal distributions. Independent sample t test was used for normally distributed data, whereas Mann-Whitney U test was used for non-normally distributed data to compare the AITCS, GSE and ERQ scores in two groups.

Conditions

• Self Efficacy
• Collaborative Skills
• Emotion Regulation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
BEHAVIORAL	IP-ACLS	Three senior consultants and 12 trainers conduct 2-day IP-ACLS training. 1. Pre-class activities: preparation First exposure reading on provider manual and lecturer notes about a new knowledge of ACLS to enhance self-directed learning. 2. Interactive lecture sessions: 10 topics Interactive lectures (15-20 minutes per topic) introduce a new knowledge, which anchor to their existing knowledge according to ACLS algorithms. 3. Simulation sessions: 10 sessions Skill sessions (50 minutes per session) used high-fidelity simulation mannequin in a team approach. Students learn through role-playing with different practical scenarios. Experiential learning is focused on hands-on and collaborative strategies for enhancing a deeper learning. 4. Debriefing: feedback and reflection Trainers provide immediate feedback and discussion throughout the scenarios. Debriefing is focused on the positive aspect and areas for improvement.
BEHAVIORAL	Waitlist	Waitlist group will participate in subsequent IP-ACLS training.
