Non-technical Skills of Clinical Simulation in Physiotherapy Students

Clinical simulation has gained great importance in recent times in health sciences. Since it is a pedagogical strategy that is being used more and more in health degrees and is very useful for the acquisition of both technical and non-technical skills.

However, if we focus on physiotherapy, the use of clinical simulation is a very new field and therefore requires great research. The investigators still do not have the consistency or experience as in other health branches such as medicine or nursing, in which they have been using simulators for years for the learning of all their students.

For all this, and for the situation of need generated in recent years, in which internships in hospitals and clinical centers were completely abolished, the need for our research is justified, which will allow the acquisition of non-technical skills among novice students. in physiotherapy, without the need for contact with real patients.

Treatment and study plan

Clinical simulation

Other

Carrying out a total of 9 clinical simulation in three days, one day a week, where the student resolves a situation by taking on the role of a physiotherapist with a simulated patient.

Primary outcomes

Ottawa Scale

Time frame: 1 week, 2, week, 3 week

Modified Ottawa Scale for the acquisition of non-technical skills, validated in Spanish (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.redar.2021.02.009).

Each of the items evaluated must be classified from 'strongly disagree', whose value is zero, to 'strongly agree', whose value is 7.

The scale will be passed after each of the 9 simulations, which will be carried out 3 on the same day, for three weeks.
