Implication

Randomized trial shows enhanced confidence in acute stroke management among healthcare professionals, suggesting effective training methods.

Key Points

Assess the long-term effectiveness of stroke simulations in improving and sustaining confidence among healthcare professionals in managing acute strokes.
Five stroke simulation courses were conducted to train nursing and resident doctors on acute stroke management.
Data were collected before, immediately after, and at six months post-training using anonymous questionnaires.
Simulation scenarios reflected common stroke presentations to mimic real-life clinical situations.
Confidence in managing acute stroke increased by over 50% post-simulation and remained sustained at six months.
More than 40% improvement in following the stroke management pathway for both ischaemic and haemorrhagic strokes was observed.
Collaborative confidence levels among multidisciplinary teams also showed substantial improvement.
