Evaluating the impact of simulation-based mental health training on self-efficacy: a retrospective data analysis

Not yet rated

Aim: To investigate the impact of mental health care simulation training on self-efficacy and the effect that age and gender may have on self-efficacy outcomes in simulation training.

Method: 829 healthcare staff attended simulation training courses and completed the Human Factors Skills for Healthcare Instrument pre- and post-course.

Findings: Although significant improvements in self-efficacy were found across all age groups, individuals aged between 25 and 29 reported less mean change than those between 35 and 45. Career stage and gender did not mediate this effect.

Contribution: This paper is the largest evaluation of the impact of simulation-based mental health care training on trainees' self-efficacy. It suggests that simulation-based mental health care is an effective method of pedagogy. It also provides the groundwork for future longitudinal evaluation regarding self-efficacy in this type of training.
