The purpose of the study on which this article was based was to examine the effectiveness of training simulated patients with self-instructional materials. A six-hour program consisting of eight videotapes and 10 sets of written materials was administered to 54 trainees. Pretest and posttest score comparisons revealed an increase in knowledge about simulation. Most of the trainees (91 percent) stated that the simulation training program increased their competencies in portraying patients. Most important, simulators with the self-instructional training received higher ratings from trainers on their ability to evaluate students than did simulators in the control group.
本文所基于的研究目的是检验使用自我指导材料培训模拟患者的有效性。一个由八盒录像带和十套书面材料组成的六小时课程被提供给54名受训者。前测和后测分数比较显示模拟知识有所增加。大多数受训者（91%）表示模拟培训项目提高了他们扮演患者的能力。最重要的是，接受自我指导培训的模拟患者在评估学生能力方面比对照组的模拟患者获得了培训师更高的评价。
