What this trial studies
This clinical trial investigates how simulation-based training in blood pressure and electrocardiography affects the confidence and satisfaction levels of physiotherapy students enrolled in a cardiac rehabilitation course. The study will involve 39 first-time students who will complete surveys before and after the training to assess changes in their confidence, satisfaction, and theoretical knowledge. Conducted at Acıbadem University, the trial aims to provide insights into the effectiveness of simulation as a teaching method in physiotherapy education.
Who should consider this trial
Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are first-time physiotherapy and rehabilitation students enrolled in the Cardiac Diseases and Rehabilitation course at Acıbadem University.
Not a fit: Students who are repeating the Cardiac Diseases and Rehabilitation course or refuse to participate will not benefit from this study.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could enhance the educational experience of physiotherapy students, leading to better prepared professionals in cardiac rehabilitation.
How similar studies have performed: While the specific approach of this study may be novel, similar educational interventions using simulation have shown positive outcomes in other healthcare training programs.
