Summary
This study introduced a novel simulation for interprofessional training in home-based care (HBC). Learners demonstrated significant improvements in collaborative competencies after participating in a simulated home visit, enhancing team-based care skills.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Interprofessional Healthcare
- Home-Based Care
Background:
- Home-based care (HBC) is crucial for underserved rural populations, addressing access barriers.
- Interprofessional education is vital but often lacks team-based training specific to HBC.
- Current HBC curricula often use discipline-specific, non-integrated teaching methods.
Purpose of the Study:
- To implement and evaluate a novel interprofessional simulation for home-based care training.
- To assess the impact of a standardized patient simulation on collaborative care competencies.
Main Methods:
- A simulated home visit was conducted using a standardized patient (SP).
- Learners from nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, dentistry, pharmacy, and medicine participated.
- Interprofessional collaborative competencies were measured using the ICCAS pre- and post-simulation.
Main Results:
- 68 students participated in the simulation between August 2018 and August 2020.
- Statistically significant increases in all 20 measured collaborative abilities were observed post-simulation.
- Effect sizes ranged from modest to large (0.31–0.94).
Conclusions:
- The standardized patient simulation offers a new, interdisciplinary method for integrating HBC into health professional curricula.
- This approach effectively enhances interprofessional collaborative competencies in a simulated home environment.

Restorative care is provided once a patient has been discharged from a healthcare facility and requires additional services. The additional services include home care, rehabilitation programs, and extended care. Restorative care centers help the patient regain their previous level of functioning or acquire a new level of functioning due to the incapacitating effects of a disease or a disability. It aims to assist patients in enhancing their quality of life by encouraging independence,...

01:24Nursing Process for Patient and Caregiver Teaching II: Planning and Implementation
1.7K
Planning for learning involves the development of a teaching plan. Teaching plans are similar to nursing care plans—both follow the steps of the nursing process. Planning in the teaching process involves setting goals and outcomes. Here, goals identify what a patient needs to achieve to understand a healthcare topic better, whereas the outcomes are the action to be performed by the patient to achieve the goal within a timeframe. For example, if the goal is to educate the patient about...

A nursing care plan can present in two forms: informal and formal. Informal is a care plan for the individual use of the nurse and goals they wish to accomplish during their shift. Informal care plans are not included in the patient chart. A formal nursing care plan is a written or computerized guide that organizes patient care. It is further subdivided into two: standardized and individualized care plans. Standardized care plans are pre-populated care plans for specific patient populations,...
