Integrative Review of Interprofessional Simulation in Nursing Practice
Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing
|January 31, 2018
Summary
Interprofessional (IP) simulation can enhance nurses' roles and understanding of other healthcare professionals. However, more rigorous research is needed to confirm its benefits for patient care quality and safety.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare education
- Nursing practice
- Interprofessional collaboration
Background:
- Simulation in healthcare education and practice has grown significantly.
- A knowledge gap exists regarding the specific benefits of interprofessional simulation for nurses.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review existing literature on interprofessional simulation involving practicing nurses.
- To identify current knowledge and research gaps in this area.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature search conducted by five reviewers.
- Included studies published between January 1, 2010, and July 1, 2016.
- Narrows down 1,400 initial articles to 18 relevant studies.
Main Results:
- Interprofessional simulation plays a role in improving nurses' understanding of their own and other practitioners' roles.
- Current evidence is limited due to study diversity and lack of methodological rigor.
- Conclusive evidence on enhancing patient care quality and safety through IP simulation is not yet established.
Conclusions:
- Need for structured simulation research designs.
- Adherence to published guidelines for best practice implementation is crucial.
- Further research is required to solidify the role of interprofessional simulation in nursing.

Theories play an essential role in organizing patient care. Theories refer to a proposed or followed belief, policy, or procedure that is the basis for action. Nursing theories are knowledge-based concepts that guide nurses' actions, influence nursing education and practice, and allow nurses to care for their patients.
Theories provide a perspective to assess patients' conditions and organize data and methods. They also assist in analyzing and interpreting information. They represent a...

In statistics, several tools are used to interpret the data. Measures of central tendency represent the characteristics of the data, such as mean, median, and mode. Additionally, measures of variance like standard deviation and range are used to find the spread of data from the mean. Relative standing measures the distance between data locations. Commonly used measures of relative standings are percentile, z score, and quartiles.

Data are individual items of information obtained from a population or sample. Data may be classified as qualitative (categorical), quantitative continuous, or quantitative discrete. Because it is not practical to measure the entire population in a study, researchers use samples to represent the population. A random sample is a representative group from the population chosen by using a method that gives each individual in the population an equal chance of being included in the sample. Random...

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 III: Interprofessional Care
320
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...

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care
382
Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...
