Simulation and Laboratory Training

Stronger laboratory preparation was associated with better psychomotor skills and less fear of making mistakes. Insufficient laboratory training and limited simulation experience were linked to weak psychomotor skills. Each team completed three high-fidelity acute care simulation scenarios in fixed order during one session. Some students had not been able to use the simulation laboratory, while others said laboratory class time was too short. Students recommended expanding laboratory and simulation-based training before clinical practice. Short internship duration limited development of psychomotor skills. The study used controlled high-fidelity simulation to standardise emergency exposure across teams. Leadership training should include disruptive scenarios that challenge traditional hierarchies. Future research should examine leadership training interventions through in situ simulation.
