Team Development Measure in Interprofessional Graduate Education: A Pilot Study.
Journal of Psychosocial Nursing and Mental Health Services
|January 13, 2018
Summary
Graduate students perceived improved team functioning during the Recovery-Based Interprofessional Distance Education (RIDE) rotation. The Team Development Measure (TDM) showed a large effect size, suggesting its utility for evaluating interprofessional education.
Area of Science:
- Interprofessional Education
- Team Development
- Graduate Health Professions Education
Background:
- A 4-week Recovery-Based Interprofessional Distance Education (RIDE) rotation was developed for graduate students.
- The Team Development Measure (TDM) was identified as a potential tool to assess team development within this rotation.
Purpose of the Study:
- To pilot the Team Development Measure (TDM) as a pre- and posttest evaluation tool for interprofessional distance education.
- To assess student perceptions of team functioning during the RIDE rotation.
Main Methods:
- The Team Development Measure (TDM) was administered anonymously online to a cohort of 18 graduate students.
- Pretest and posttest scores were analyzed to determine changes in perceived team functioning.
Main Results:
- The overall pretest mean score was 60.73, indicating anticipated moderate-to-high team functioning.
- The overall posttest mean score was 72.71, showing an average increase of 11.98 points.
- A large effect size (Cohen's d = 0.43) was observed, despite not reaching statistical significance.
Conclusions:
- The Team Development Measure (TDM) shows promise as an evaluation tool for interprofessional education, particularly for graduate students with prior healthcare team experience.
- Further research is needed to validate the TDM's effectiveness in measuring team development in distance education settings.

231
Varicose veins, or varicosities, develop when the valves in the veins, which control blood flow, weaken or damage. It causes blood to pool and the veins to enlarge. Understanding the clinical manifestations, diagnostic approaches, and management options for varicose veins is crucial for effective treatment and relief.Clinical manifestationsClinical manifestations of varicose veins include a heavy, achy feeling or pain after prolonged standing or sitting. This discomfort can often be relieved by...

Diagnosing Pulmonary EmbolismDiagnosing pulmonary embolism (PE) involves clinical assessment and advanced imaging tests. The preferred diagnostic tool is the spiral (helical) CT scan or CT angiography (CTA), which uses intravenous contrast media to visualize the pulmonary vasculature and identify emboli.A ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan is an alternative for patients unable to receive contrast media. This scan includes both perfusion and ventilation scanning. Perfusion scanning involves...

496
Pilot relaying is a type of differential protection used in power systems. It compares electrical quantities at the terminals of equipment via a communication channel instead of direct relay interconnection. This method is essential for transmission lines where the terminals are far apart, typically up to 80 km for lines with 69 to 115 kV ratings. Four types of communication channels are used for pilot relaying:

335
A healthcare provider can diagnose a urinary tract infection (UTI) through several methods:Medical History and Symptoms: The provider will take a detailed medical history and ask about symptoms such as frequent urination, burning sensation during urination, and lower abdominal pain.Urinalysis: A clean-catch urine sample is collected in a sterile container and tested for the presence of bacteria, white blood cells (leukocytes), nitrites, blood, and protein. The presence of leukocytes and...

Managing cardiomyopathy involves addressing underlying or precipitating causes, treating heart failure with medications, and implementing dietary changes and a balanced exercise and rest regimen.Lifestyle ModificationsCardiomyopathy patients should adopt a low-sodium diet to reduce fluid retention and manage heart failure. A personalized exercise and rest plan helps maintain physical fitness without overstraining the heart. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco is essential to prevent further damage to...

Aneurysm management involves either conservative medical therapy or surgical intervention, depending on the size and symptoms of the aneurysm. Conservative management is generally reserved for smaller, asymptomatic aneurysms, while larger or symptomatic aneurysms often necessitate surgical repair.Conservative Medical TherapyFor small, asymptomatic aneurysms, particularly abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) less than 5.5 centimeters in diameter, conservative medical therapy is recommended. This...
