Brief Summary  

Aim:
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of integrating simulation videos into the undergraduate medical student training curriculum for recognizing and managing suicide risks. By comparing students’ knowledge and attitude before and after exposure to simulation-based training, the study seeks to determine whether this approach enhances their ability to identify warning signs and manage suicide risks effectively.

Null Hypothesis (H0): There is no significant difference in the ability of under graduate medical students to recognize or manage suicide risks before and after exposure to simulation videos as part of their training.
Alternate Hypothesis (H1): The utilization of simulation videos in the training of under graduate medical students significantly enhances their ability to recognize and manage suicide risks after exposure compared to their initial skills before the training.

Study Objectives:

  1. Assess baseline knowledge and attitude in recognizing and managing suicide risks before simulation training.
  2. Evaluate the post-training impact of simulation videos on students’ ability to recognize and manage suicide risks.
  3. Compare the performance of students exposed to simulation videos with a control group using traditional educational methods
