The Perceived Effectiveness of Various Forms of Feedback on the Acquisition of Technical Skills by Advanced Learners in Simulation-Based Health Professions Education.

Simulation-based health professions education (SBHPE) is a valuable approach for healthcare professionals to develop and refine technical skills in a safe environment. Feedback plays a crucial role in the acquisition of these skills, but little research has explored the effectiveness of augmented (knowledge of results (KR) and knowledge of performance (KP) versus intrinsic feedback types for advanced learners. Therefore, this study aimed to determine what type of feedback is perceived to be most effective by advanced learners when acquiring complex technical skills in SBHPE.

Defining the Nature of Augmented Feedback for Learning Intraosseous Access Skills in Simulation-Based Health Professions Education.

In the field of health professions education, acquiring technical skills involves three stages: 1) receiving instructions, 2) engaging in practice, and 3) receiving feedback. Simulation serves as a valuable tool that encompasses all three stages, enhancing the effectiveness of health professions education. This work focuses on feedback, which can be categorized as intrinsic (perceived by the learner through their senses) or augmented (provided by an external perspective).
