Simulated patients in a mental health occupational therapy course: A pilot study / Kirsti Haracz in The British Journal of Occupational Therapy, Vol.78 N°12 (December 2015)

Public ISBD [article]  inThe British Journal of Occupational Therapy > Vol.78 N°12 (December 2015) . - p.757-766 Titre : Simulated patients in a mental health occupational therapy course: A pilot study Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Kirsti Haracz ; Gillian Arrighi ; Brian Joyce Année de publication : 2015 Article en page(s) : p.757-766 Langues : Anglais (eng) Mots-clés : Education  survey  simulation Résumé : Introduction The use of simulated patients is well established in medicine and nursing. There is little research evaluating the use of simulated patients in occupational therapy education and none which focuses on mental health. This study sought to determine the acceptability and effectiveness of using simulated patients in a mental health occupational therapy course. The pilot also sought to address the challenge of providing simulation experience to a large number of students in a cost and time effective manner. Method Occupational therapy students participated in a simulation which involved an initial interview assessment with an actor portraying a person with a mental health diagnosis. The students worked in small groups for the simulation, rotating into the therapist role using a carousel model. Students completed a survey about their experience of the simulation. Results The students rated the simulation experience highly in terms of authenticity and learning outcomes. Qualitative analysis of open-ended responses produced five themes: authentic experience, developing skills, feedback and reflection, we should do more of this, and developing the experience further. Conclusion The pilot was effective in allowing a large number of students to engage directly with the simulated patient without negatively impacting on the experience.
