“…Further studies done locally has also shown benefit in simulation learning ( 69 , 70 ) especially in learning a complex skill ( 71 ) such as engaging someone with suicidal thought. Trainers have reported a better understanding and recommend such a method as a tool to increase learners’ proficiency ( 72 ).…”

BackgroundSuicide is a major cause of death among adolescents and young adults, especially students. This is particularly true for healthcare students with a higher risk and more access to lethal means. Thus, it is vital for healthcare educators who have regular contact with these healthcare students to be trained as gatekeepers in preventing suicide. Evidence of the effectiveness of such gatekeeper training, mainly using an online module, is lacking predominantly in Malaysia. This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of an online gatekeeper suicide prevention training program that is conducted for healthcare lecturers.MethodsA single-arm interventional pre-and post-pilot study was conducted on a sample of healthcare lecturers and workers who are involved in supervising healthcare students. A purposive sampling technique was used to recruit 50 healthcare educators in Malaysia. The program was conducted by trained facilitators and 31 participants completed a locally validated self-rated questionnaire to measure their self-efficacy and declarative knowledge in preventing suicide; immediately before and after the intervention.ResultsSignificant improvement was seen in the overall outcome following the intervention, mostly in the self-efficacy domain. No significant improvement was seen in the domain of declarative knowledge possibly due to ceiling effects; an already high baseline knowledge about suicide among healthcare workers. This is an exception in a single item that assesses a common misperception in assessing suicide risk where significant improvement was seen following the program.ConclusionThe online Advanced C.A.R.E. Suicide Prevention Gatekeeper Training Program is promising in the short-term overall improvement in suicide prevention, primarily in self-efficacy.

“…Via simulation scenarios (either online or by VR), the students can learn to use psychomotor skills to elicit clinical findings and triage during an emergency, develop their cognitive domain for diagnosis and management, and affective domain to handle patients and their relatives in stressful situations. This exposure of students can increase confidence levels in handling major disasters as well as minor incidents (Saiboon et al, 2011).…”

Background: Simulation based education is defined as a series of structured activities that represent real or potential situations in real world practice. During the Covid-19 pandemic, teaching methods for MBBS students which have been developed for decades, but remained at the fringes of medical training, like teaching with simulators, suddenly came into the fore. Hence, this remains the right time to update ourselves with knowledge about simulator use in education, as we can foresee that this teaching modality will continue to play a large role in medicine pedagogy in the years to come. Methods: Published papers on the subject were reviewed from Pub Med, Scopus, Google Scholar, ResearchGate (range 2008 to 2023) sources. Feedback was obtained from both teachers and students using a simple questionnaire. While teachers gave a singularly positive feed of their simulation-based teaching experience during the pandemic years, student feedback was a little mixed. Almost all students felt that the simulation-based learning instructions were extremely helpful, but the degree of relevance they felt to their clinical years varied. Conclusion: Simulation based teaching has come a long way, especially over the past few decades. Present day tactics use computer screen-based scenarios with step-by-step history taking, clinical examination modules (integrated with hi-fidelity mannequins) and management methods which can lead to cure, complications or death. Students can learn through missteps and can correct their responses. As the healthcare industry rapidly evolves technologically, it will increasingly become dependent on simulation as a teaching method in all levels of medical training in the interests of patient safety and student proficiency.

Introduction: Teaching disaster response medicine (DRM) to medical students requires considerable resources. We evaluate the effectiveness of e-learning in teaching emergency disaster response (ELITE-DR), a novel initiative, in educating medical students of the cognitive aspect of DRM.Methods: A prospective cross-sectional study among pre-clinical year medical students was carried out to determine their knowledge on DRM and perception regarding the ELITE-DR initiative using a validated online questionnaire. A three-part self-learning video covering the principles and medical management of DRM were distributed before answering the questionnaire served as the training.Results: A total of 168 students participated in the study. Their overall knowledge showed a significant increase in between pre-and-post-interventions. Recall and simple decision-making knowledge aspects were better than complex decision-making knowledge. It appeared that participants assimilate knowledge better from visual rather than audio stimuli. Participants with high perception-scores demonstrated better knowledge-scores. However, e-learning was not preferred as a substitute for face-to-face (F2F) teaching.Conclusion: ELITE-DR shows promise in teaching DRM. Simple recall and comprehension levels of knowledge were well-served through this technique. However, for more complex decision-making knowledge, a different approach might be required. ELITE-DR offers flexibility, accessibility, and personalized learning. The content presentation is improved by using several different visual stimuli. This approach is useful for cognitive aspect learning, but it should not replace standard F2F teaching.
