    Self-instructional materials effectively trained simulated patients, enhancing their skills and evaluation abilities. This simulation training boosted trainee confidence and performance in portraying patients during assessments.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Education
    • Healthcare Simulation

    Background:

    • Simulated patients (SPs) are crucial in medical training.
    • Standardized training methods for SPs are essential for effective patient simulation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of self-instructional materials for training simulated patients.
    • To assess the impact of this training on SPs' knowledge, confidence, and performance.

    Main Methods:

    • A six-hour training program using videotapes and written materials was delivered to 54 trainees.
    • Knowledge was assessed via pretest and posttest scores.
    • Trainee competency and SP performance were evaluated by trainers.

    Main Results:

    • Knowledge regarding simulation increased significantly post-training.

  • 91% of trainees reported enhanced competency in portraying patients.
  • SPs receiving self-instructional training outperformed the control group in trainer evaluations.

    • Conclusions:

    • Self-instructional materials provide an effective method for training simulated patients.
    • This training enhances SPs' ability to portray patients and their overall performance in medical education settings.
