NCT03979092

Brief 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. 1.collaborative skills
  2. 2.self-efficacy
  3. 3.emotion regulation.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

  • Assessment of Interprofessional Team Collaboration Scale (AITCS)

    It consists of 37 items with 3 subscales including partnership (19 items), cooperation (11 items) and coordination (7 items) (Orchard, King, Bezzina, 2012). Items incorporated on a five-point Likert scale (with 5 = always, 4 = most of the time, 3 = occasionally, 2 = rarely, and 1 = never) allowing respondents to rate their current feeling about their team and themselves. The sum score ranged from 37 to 185. The higher the scores obtained, the more collaborative skills had.

    3 years

  • General Self-Efficacy Scale (GSE)

    This is a 10-item, 4-point unidimensional scale. Items had a response range from 1 (not at all true) to 4 (exactly true) (Schwarzer \& Jerusalem, 1995). The sum scores ranged from 10 to 40. The higher the total score, the more self-efficacious the respondent.

    3 years

  • Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ)

    Used to measure emotion regulation which consists of two scales corresponding to two different emotion regulation strategies: cognitive reappraisal (6 items) and expressive suppression (4 items) (Gross \& John, 2003). The 10 items are rated on a 7-point-Likert scale from strongly disagree to strongly agree. The sum score ranged from 10 to 70, participants with higher total score have better emotion regulation.

Interventions

IP-ACLSBEHAVIORAL

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.
