“…Incorporating role-plays, comprehensive feedback, and personalized suggestion is another factor in the significant improvement of attending Online AdCARE ( 64 ). This is consistent with another study, that has shown the added value of these hands-on experiences as the key factor that results in the significant improvement of the SE domain especially in endorsing a positive attitude, making a suicide risk assessment, developing treatment plans, and establishing rapport ( 65 ).…”

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.

A Review of Simulation Pedagogy Past and Present; and The Experiences at One Center During the COVID-19 Pandemic

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.

“…Healthcare educators need to consider several factors when preparing to utilise technology: the first language of their learners and the availability of appropriate resources (Bala Krishnian et al, 2016;Duff et al, 2016); the learners' computer skills (Duff et al, 2016); the availability of technical support and how the various technologies can be integrated into the institution's virtual learning environment (Masters et al, 2016).…”

“…The immediate feedback provided through the two-way clicker technology can also be beneficial for assessing the learners' understanding (De Gagne, 2011). Video-assisted learning (which can be facilitated either in the classroom or via e-learning) has been shown to increase the confidence of paramedics when learning emergency skills and encourage them to undertake independent learning (Bala Krishnian et al, 2016).…”

This paper presents a literature review into the use of technology in healthcare education. A search of three electronic databases resulted in 20 articles for inclusion in the review. The articles were synthesised into a narrative review. The review identified four key themes across the literature: the types of technologies used in healthcare education; the integration of technology into the healthcare curriculum; the skills and knowledge of the healthcare educators; and the benefits of using technology for the learners. The literature demonstrated that a wide range of technologies are now used within healthcare education, and this requires educators to adapt their practice and develop their technical skills to be competent users. The successful integration of technology into healthcare curriculums can be beneficial for healthcare learners by developing their clinical and professional skills, and enhancing their learning experience.
