This summary is machine-generated.

Psychiatry residents improved confidence in obtaining informed consent using a new web-based simulation tool. The Computer Simulation Assessment Tool (CSAT) effectively enhanced physician training in patient interactions.

Area of Science:

  • Psychiatry
  • Medical Education
  • Health Informatics

Background:

  • Simulation technology is widely used in medical specialties for competency assessment.
  • Psychiatry has lagged in adopting simulation technologies for training.
  • Web-based tools offer potential for novel training methods in psychiatry.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and pilot a web-based computer simulation tool for assessing physician competence.
  • To evaluate the tool's effectiveness in training informed consent for antipsychotic prescriptions.
  • To assess physician confidence and system usability in a simulated psychiatric setting.

Main Methods:

  • Eighteen residents piloted the Computer Simulation Assessment Tool (CSAT).
  • Evaluated physician performance on required elements of informed consent.

  • Measured pre- and post-test physician confidence and system usability.

    • Main Results:

    • The CSAT demonstrated an increase in physician confidence regarding informed consent.
    • Participants found the simulation tool easy to use.
    • Pilot data suggests effectiveness in a simulated patient-physician interaction.

    Conclusions:

    • The CSAT is an effective educational tool for simulating patient-physician interactions in psychiatry.
    • Web-based simulations can augment traditional residency training methods.
    • This tool may serve as a model for developing similar simulations in medical education.
