Abstract
Background: Universities of Medicine and Pharmacy in Vietnam have established medical simulation skills training centers to enhance clinical skills for students, but their effectiveness has not been clearly determined. Currently, there are no studies on the perceptions of medical students regarding this learning method in Vietnam. This study aims to assess the perceptions of medical students at the College of Medicine and Pharmacy - Duy Tan University regarding simulation-based learning and related factors.
Methods: The research is conducted from January to April 2024 with 347 students from the first to the seventh year. Data was collected through a self-administered questionnaire, evaluating perceptions of outcomes, benefits, and learning capabilities based on simulation using a five-point Likert scale. The data was analyzed using SPSS 20 with a multivariate logistic regression model.
Results: 40.3% of students have a high perception, and 59.4% have a medium perception. Students who believe that simulation methods are applied in the classroom have perceptions 2.185 times higher than those who do not recall or are unaware. Students who have not practiced in hospitals and those who practice according to the prescribed hours have perceptions that are 3.622 and 3.932 times higher, respectively, compared to students who practice outside of scheduled hours.
Conclusion: Diversifying the application of simulation in medical education and enhancing clinical simulation scenarios will improve awareness of simulation-based learning.
