[Interprofessional Team Training for Nursing Trainees and Medical Students in Pediatrics: Comparing Analog and...

Pediatrics places highest demands on interprofessional teams. Although training and studies are evolving, interprofessional teaching units are regularly lacking in German-speaking countries. Analog and digitally convertible formats are rare.

Since 2018, a voluntary one-day team training named "SICKO Junior" for nursing trainees and medical students has been conducted regularly in analog and in the meantime digitally. Evaluation results on the analog and digital format are compared. The content of the one-day workshop is based on a concept for medical employees. Exemplary communication in the ward round is reflected in simulations, training on the simulator for lumbar punctures serves the change of perspective.

A total of 104 participants took part, 21 of them digital. The recommendation rate is 100%. All of the participants are convinced that the workshop has a positive impact on collaborative interprofessional work. There were no significant differences in the evaluation of the different workshop elements between the digital and analog trainings.

The present work sheds light on the positive influence independent of the digital/analogue form. The presentation forms a blueprint for dissemination. A curricular integration seems worthwhile.Conclusion Voluntary interprofessional team training for nursing trainees and medical students with a focus on communication and error culture is as popular in digital as in analog form. Future studies should prove the influence on competence development and safety culture.
