A team training program significantly improved interprofessional teamwork and attitudes. Combining cognitive tools with virtual simulations enhances shared mental model development for better clinical teamwork.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Education
  • Medical Simulation
  • Teamwork and Communication

Background:

  • Effective interprofessional teamwork is crucial for optimal patient care.
  • Developing shared mental models (SMM) is key to successful team collaboration.
  • Existing training methods may not adequately foster SMM in interprofessional settings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a team training program's impact on shared mental model (SMM) development.
  • To assess the effectiveness of didactic training and virtual simulation in interprofessional rounds.
  • To measure the influence of training on team performance and interprofessional attitudes.

Main Methods:

  • A three-arm randomized controlled trial involving 207 health profession learners.
  • Intervention groups received either full training (didactic + virtual simulation) or didactic training only.

  • Control group received no intervention; outcomes measured via simulation performance and attitude surveys.

    • Main Results:

    • The full intervention group showed significantly higher team performance and interprofessional attitude scores (P < 0.05) compared to the control group.
    • Both intervention groups demonstrated significantly improved attitudes towards interprofessional teamwork (P < 0.05) versus the control.
    • Virtual simulation combined with cognitive tools proved effective in enhancing SMM.

    Conclusions:

    • Both cognitive tools and experiential learning are necessary for robust SMM development.
    • Virtual simulation offers a scalable and practical approach for interprofessional team training.
    • The findings support the integration of comprehensive training programs to optimize clinical teamwork.
