Brief Summary

This study proposes to assess attitudes, perceived proficiency, and knowledge related to telemedicine by implementing telesimulation behavioral health scenarios in a cohort of healthcare students using the Contextual Interview Observation Form.

Conditions

Self Efficacy

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Changes in Self-Efficacy in Patient Centeredness Questionnaire (SEPCQ27) 27-item

  The SEPCQ is designed to measure confidence levels at delivering patient-centered care (A 7-point Likert scale was used with "0" (to a very low degree) and "6" (To a very high degree)

  Baseline and approximately 2-hours after baseline

Study Arms (2)

Face-to-Face

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Face-to-Face Group: At the beginning of the session self-efficacy will be measured. This group will receive an instructor-led 45 minute long lecture on how to evaluate work, love, and play behavioral health form on a standardized patient. A face-to- face standardized patient scenario will test the participant on the application of work, love, and play assessment. In this scenario, the participant will meet a standardized patient in the exam room to discuss a behavioral health concern. At the end of each session (approximately 2 hours later), self-efficacy will be measured.

Other: Face-to-face

Robot

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Robot Group: At the beginning of the session self-efficacy will be measured. This group will receive an instructor-led 45 minute long lecture on how to evaluate work, love, and play behavioral health form on a standardized patient. A robot (telesimulated) standardized patient scenario will test the participant on the application of work, love, and play assessment. In this scenario, the participant will meet a standardized patient in the exam room via a robot to discuss a behavioral health concern. At the end of each session (approximately 2 hours later), self-efficacy will be measured.

Other: Robot

Interventions

Robot OTHER

Use of a telesimulation robot using contextual interview format.
