High-Fidelity, Indigenously Prepared, Low-Cost Moulage as a Valid Simulation Tool to Improve Trauma Education
Copyright © 2024, Varghese et al..
Background Simulation-based trauma education facilitates repeated practice in a controlled and safer environment for the learner without any risk to the patient's well-being. Moulage contributes to the perception of reality during training using standardized patients. However, the high cost of commercial moulage items is often prohibitive for regular use. This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of indigenously prepared, low-cost moulage as a valid simulation tool to improve trauma education, explore possible replacements of commercial moulage products, and determine their merits and demerits. Methodology Readily available economic items were used to make low-cost moulage on the simulated patients to replicate trauma victims. A cross-sectional design used a pre-validated Modified Moulage Authenticity Rating Scale to collect data from 61 participants of Advanced Trauma Life Support and Advanced Trauma Care for Nurses courses to analyze the effectiveness and fidelity of moulage. Results In total, 54 (89%) participants scored the low-cost moulage to provide high fidelity effectively. The majority of respondents graded the authenticity of moulage as good. Overall, 46 (75%) participants felt moulage injuries were quite realistic. All agreed that the moulage-based simulation offered a good teaching-learning alternative to assess and manage trauma victims. Further, 45 (73%) participants felt they were in an actual clinical situation, and 58 (95%) stated it could help them in their clinical practice. Conclusions Indigenously prepared, low-cost moulage is a feasible and cost-effective means to enhance fidelity in simulation-based trauma education. It can also be a possible replacement for commercial moulage. Further research is needed to rigorously evaluate the effectiveness of indigenously prepared, cost-effective moulage in trauma education to enhance patient care outcomes. This technique can also be easily translated into other simulation-based medical education domains.
