Simulation-Enhanced Interprofessional Education for Ambulatory Care Registered Nurses and Health Professions Students
Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing
|May 3, 2023
Summary
This study evaluated a simulation-enhanced interprofessional education (Sim-IPE) program for nurses and health students. Results show Sim-IPE effectively improved role understanding and readiness for clinical practice.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Professions Education
- Interprofessional Collaboration
- Simulation-Based Learning
Background:
- Limited interprofessional care education exists for ambulatory care nurses and health professions students before clinical practice.
- Interprofessional education (IPE) is crucial for effective teamwork in healthcare settings.
- Simulation offers a controlled environment to practice interprofessional collaboration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate a simulation-enhanced interprofessional education (Sim-IPE) program for ambulatory care registered nurses (RNs) and health professions students.
- To assess participant perceptions of the Sim-IPE experience, including role understanding and clinical applicability.
- To identify strengths and areas for improvement in the Sim-IPE program.
Main Methods:
- Program evaluation of a Sim-IPE experience using an 11-item electronic post-simulation survey.
- Data collection included quantitative ratings and qualitative open-ended responses.
- The National League for Nursing Jeffries Simulation Theory guided the evaluation framework.
Main Results:
- Most participants perceived the Sim-IPE positively, reporting enhanced understanding of interprofessional roles.
- Participants felt the program was appropriately designed for their skill level and provided sufficient information.
- Feedback indicated participants felt supported and intended to apply their learning in clinical settings.
Conclusions:
- The Sim-IPE program was effective in promoting interprofessional learning and readiness for clinical application.
- The program evaluation identified key strengths and actionable areas for enhancing future interprofessional education initiatives.
- Simulation-enhanced interprofessional education is a valuable strategy for preparing healthcare professionals for collaborative practice.

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:
Communication skills: These are critical characteristics, especially speaking and listening.

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...
