Clinical decision-making augmented by simulation training: neural correlates demonstrated by functional imaging: a pilot study

Abstract

The activation areas seen could indicate increased stress when answering clinical questions compared with general non-clinical questions, and in the online group when answering action-based clinical questions. These findings suggest simulation training attenuates neural responses related to stress when making clinical decisions.

Stress response and communication in surgeons undergoing training in endoscopic management of major vessel hemorrhage: a mixed methods study

“…Simulation in surgery is a valuable tool. It has been incorporated into many training programs and varies widely from laparoscopic and animal training models to videotaped sessions with actors and other members of the surgical team to develop communication and teamwork skills . It also provides surgeons with the ability to experience rare situations that they may never encounter in their entire careers, allowing them to develop strategies to safely master the event should it occur .…”

Motor Imagery in Clinical Disorders: Importance and Implications

“…Firstly, we postulated that research on MI processes offers intriguing insights into the neurocognitive mechanisms underlying, and psychological treatment of, certain clinical disorders (specifically, PTSD, personality disorders, and SAD). In addition, we proposed that clinical researchers have much to learn from an emerging theoretical theme in cognitive neuroscience – namely, the idea that the brain is a dynamic predictive system ( 59 ) which uses simulation as a mechanism for integrating the psychological processes of imagination, perception, and action. More immediately, however, several priorities may be identified for future research on MI in clinical disorders.…”

Clinical reasoning in image guided radiotherapy: A multimethod study

“…It allows students and practitioners to develop their skills and build confidence in a safe environment (Botezatu et al, 2010;Forsberg et al, 2014). Similarly, simulations have been used widely during the think aloud studies (Goon et al, 2014;Thackray & Roberts, 2017b;Carl Thompson, Aitken, Marshall, Elliott, & McKinley, 2011).…”
