About this study

Official title: Quantifying the Influence of Expert Modeling on Novice Nurse Competence and Self-Efficacy

The purpose of this study is to learn more about the effects of various types of simulation preparation methods on novice nurses' competence and self-efficacy. Participants will be recruited from an academic course (N424 Integrated Practicum). Participants will be randomized to three intervention groups (i.e. expert modeling video, voice over PowerPoint, and traditional readings). All participants will complete self-efficacy surveys and two simulations. During simulation, participants will be scored based on their competence according to a performance rubric. The hypothesis is that participants in the expert modeling group will demonstrate more change in competence and report more change in self-efficacy scores than participants in other groups.

Read the detailed description

Investigators will compare self-confidence and competence scores between the three groups after the pre-test and posttest simulations. The self-efficacy survey is an 7-item scale that involves participants rating their self-efficacy about providing care for multiple patients. Participants rate their self-efficacy on a 1 to 5 (not confident to very confident scale). The survey takes 5 minutes to complete. The self-efficacy survey has been used in many simulation research studies previously with novice nurses. Competence will be measured with a rater-observation measure which has previously been used in simulation research.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Common readings and educational handoutsOther

    Participants in all groups have common readings related to policies for nursing care in acute care facilities. There will be additional handouts related to performing safety checks and a focused physical assessment.

  • Expert ModelingOther

    70 minutes of expert modeling videos

  • Voice Over Power PointOther

    60 minutes of Voice Over PowerPoint presentations

Study groups in NCT02100215
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Expert ModelingExperimentalParticipants will have access to 70 minutes of expert modeling videos available over 5 weeks on an online learning management system. The investigator will be the expert model in the videos. Expert modeling videos will address content related to seven concepts: Taking report with a graphic organizer worksheet, prioritizing patient care, delegating to unlicensed assistive personnel, safety checks in patient rooms, focused physical assessments, safe medication administration, and using a standardized healthcare provider communication tool on the telephone.
Receives: Other: Common readings and educational handouts; Other: Expert Modeling
Voice Over PowerPointActive comparatorParticipants will have access to 60 minutes of voice over PowerPoint slides, available over 5 weeks on an online learning management system, specifically to match exposure and content with the expert modeling video group. The script for PowerPoint will contain content related to the aforementioned seven concepts. There will be static photos, but no expert modeling videos, on PowerPoint slides. The investigator will narrate the voice over PowerPoint.
Receives: Other: Common readings and educational handouts; Other: Voice Over Power Point
ReadingPlacebo comparatorParticipants will have access to articles, policies, and procedures on an online learning management system. The estimated time required for participants to review these materials is 45 minutes
Receives: Other: Common readings and educational handouts

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Common readings and educational handouts, Expert Modeling and Voice Over Power Point in people with Competence and Self-efficacy, run by Oregon Health and Science University at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 2 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Creighton Simulation Evaluation Instrument (time frame: Change from baseline on Creighton Simulation Evaluation Instrument at 5 weeks). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 2 May 2019.
