During the pandemic, telesimulation training was implemented to avoid multiple students and faculties gathering in confined spaces. While medical trainees\u2019 perceived emotions have been acknowledged as a critical outcome of the in-person simulation-based training, the impact of telesimulation on trainees\u2019 emotions has been unexamined. We conducted an educational team-based simulation study with a pediatric case of septic shock. Seventeen and twenty-four medical students participated in the telesimulation training and in-person simulation training, respectively. The institutional pandemic social restrictions at the time of each training session determined the participant assignment to either the telesimulation training or in-person simulation training. All participants responded to the Japanese version of the Medical Emotion Scale, which includes 20 items rated on a five-point Likert-type scale before, during, and after the simulation sessions. The measured emotions were categized into four emotion groups according to two dimensions: positive or negative and activating or deactivating emotions. The one-way analysis of variance between the telesimulation and in-person simulation training revealed no significant differences in the emotions perceived by the participants before, during, and after the simulation training sessions. The perceived emotions of medical students were comparable between the telesimulation and in-person simulation training. Further longitudinal studies with larger samples and multiple variables are needed to generalize the effectiveness of telesimulation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/children10010169","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,16]],"date-time":"2023-01-16T02:29:55Z","timestamp":1673836195000},"page":"169","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Evaluating Emotional Outcomes of Medical Students in Pediatric Emergency Medicine Telesimulation"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"10","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1296-1768","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Osamu","family":"Nomura","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Sciences Education, Hirosaki University, Hirosaki 036-8562, Japan"},{"name":"Centre for Community-Based Health Professions Education, Hirosaki University, Hirosaki 036-8562, Japan"},{"name":"Department of Emergency and Disaster Medicine, Hirosaki University, Hirosaki 036-8562, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9637-6405","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Momoka","family":"Sunohara","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Psychology, Concordia University, Montreal, QC H3G 1M8, Canada"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7548-9005","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ichiro","family":"Watanabe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Tokyo Metropolitan Children\u2019s Medical Center, Division of Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, Tokyo 183-8561, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Taichi","family":"Itoh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, University of Michigan, Ann Abor, MI 48109, USA"},{"name":"Department of Medical Education, University of Illinois at Chicago, Chicago, IL 60612, USA"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"2131","DOI":"10.1001\/jama.2020.5227","article-title":"Medical Student Education in the Time of COVID-19","volume":"323","author":"Rose","year":"2020","journal-title":"JAMA"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1431","DOI":"10.1097\/ACM.0000000000004129","article-title":"Virtual Telesimulation for Medical Students During the COVID-19 Pandemic","volume":"96","author":"Ray","year":"2021","journal-title":"Acad.
