Introduction:
Simulation-based interprofessional education (IPE) provides the basis for the necessary competencies for interprofessional collaboration. This study aimed to examine the effects of this educational approach on anesthesia students' attitude and teamwork.
Methods:
This quasi-experimental study was performed on 72 anesthesiology residents and nurse anesthesia students consisting of 36 participants in the intervention and 36 in the control group. The intervention group participated in a simulation-based interprofessional season, including three scenarios in the induction phase of anesthesia. The control group received routine education. We used the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) to measure attitude and the KidSIM Team Performance Scale to assess teamwork. The data were analyzed by Analysis of Covariance, paired T-test, Chi-square, and Fischer's exact test in SPSS software, version 22.
Results:
Comparing post-test scores by ANCOVA showed a significant difference between groups (p=0.001) because there was a significant positive change in the overall attitude score in the intervention group after receiving simulation-based IPE. Regarding the quality of teamwork, the intervention group's scores in all three sub-scales changed significantly after intervention (p<0.05).
Conclusions:
The simulation-based IPE is recommended to promote a teamwork culture and train empowered anesthesia professionals.
