Background:
Interprofessional collaboration is essential in today's healthcare landscape. Simulation-enhanced interprofessional education provides intentional opportunities for healthcare professionals and students across fields of study to gain different perspectives about roles and responsibilities while practicing interprofessional communication skills.
Objective:
To evaluate how students' prior interprofessional education training, the use of standardized participants, and the field of study influenced students' perceived knowledge acquisition and satisfaction after an adaptable simulation-enhanced interprofessional education experience.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted utilizing a convenience sample, which included 182 nursing and health science students from a public university in the Midwest. Surveys measuring interprofessional knowledge and satisfaction were analyzed using Wilks' Lambda MANOVA and Cronbach's alpha.
Results:
The use of standardized participants significantly enhanced students' interprofessional knowledge (p < .001) and satisfaction (p < .001). While prior interprofessional education experience contributed to knowledge gains (p = .019), it did not significantly impact satisfaction. Differences between fields of study were not a significant factor. High internal consistency across survey instruments supports the reliability of these findings.
Conclusion:
This simulation-enhanced interprofessional education was effective in improving both student knowledge and satisfaction, regardless of field of study. Standardized participants contributed significantly to the learning process. This model serves as an effective method for institutions seeking to embed interprofessional collaboration into their educational programs.
