Area of Science:

  • Social Work Education
  • Clinical Skills Training
  • Simulation-Based Learning

Background:

  • Traditional social work education relies on role-playing for clinical skill development.
  • Innovative training simulations offer potential enhancements to existing methodologies.
  • Computerized simulations are emerging as a valuable tool in therapeutic training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the feasibility, acceptability, usability, and effectiveness of three computerized simulations.
  • To assess the impact of these simulations on Master of Social Work students' clinical skills.
  • To explore the potential for broader implementation of simulation-based learning in social work programs.

Main Methods:

  • Twenty-two Master of Social Work students participated in an interpersonal practice course.
  • Students engaged with two cognitive behavioral therapy and one motivational interviewing simulation.
  • Feedback was provided through nonverbal cues, transcript review, and performance assessments.

Main Results:

  • High completion rates (86.4%) and significant engagement with simulated sessions were observed.
  • Student performance scores improved substantially across all simulations (from 63.41 to 93.64).
  • Significant increases in self-efficacy for general clinical, exploration, insight, and action skills were reported (p < 0.001).

Conclusions:

  • Computerized simulations are feasible, acceptable, and usable for training social work students.
  • Simulation-based learning leads to demonstrable improvements in clinical skills and self-efficacy.
  • These findings support the integration of simulation technology into Master of Social Work curricula.
