The Creation of Shared Mental Models in Simulation Training Enhances Quality of Resuscitation: A Randomized Controlled Study.

Objectives: This study aimed to enhance the quality of Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS) training, with quality defined as the combination of technical skills (TS) and non-technical skills (NTS), by addressing the gap in effective methods for developing NTS through simulation-based medical education (SBME). Specifically, it sought to develop and evaluate a strategy for establishing shared mental models (SMM) and fostering trust among team members during undergraduate emergency training.

Methods: This study was conducted during mandatory ACLS undergraduate simulation training sessions.
