To evaluate the perceived effectiveness of computer-based simulations on the learning outcomes of undergraduate health management students.
Approach:
Study Design: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted following STROBE guidelines to explore students' perceptions of computer-based simulation.
Participants: The study involved fourth-year undergraduate health management students (N=124) from a medical university in Eastern China, who had completed relevant curricula and practical courses.
Simulation Framework: The study utilized Kolb’s experiential learning theory and Kirkpatrick’s framework to assess perceived effectiveness and learning outcomes.
Key Findings:
Students perceived computer-based simulations as effective for learning health management skills.
The simulations facilitated the integration of theoretical knowledge with practical application.
Self-reported confidence and motivation were positively influenced by the simulation experience.
Interpretation:
The findings suggest that computer-based simulations can enhance learning outcomes and self-efficacy among health management students.
Limitations:
The study design does not establish causal relationships.
The sample was limited to one medical university, which may affect generalizability.
Conclusion:
The study indicates that computer-based simulations are perceived as effective tools for enhancing the learning experience of health management students.
KEYNOTE-B15/EV-304 demonstrated statistically significant improvements in event-free and overall survival with perioperative pembrolizumab plus enfortumab vedotin-ejfv compared with neoadjuvant gemcitabine plus cisplatin.
