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.

Detailed description

This study will provide valuable insights into student preferences for logbook formats in anesthesiology education, specifically within the MEDI 045 course. By comparing Excel sheet logbooks with traditional paper logbooks, it aims to elucidate how different documentation methods impact student engagement, satisfaction, and learning outcomes. Understanding these preferences is crucial, as logbooks are not merely administrative tools but integral components of the educational experience that promote reflection, accountability, and skill development in clinical practice. The findings will contribute to existing knowledge by identifying specific advantages and disadvantages of each format, highlighting the aspects that enhance or hinder student learning. Moreover, the research will inform curriculum designers and educators about effective strategies for logbook implementation, ultimately leading to improved educational tools that better align with students' needs
