Summary
Interprofessional simulation training significantly improved nursing trainees' clinical competence and collaborative attitudes. This approach enhances skills essential for effective team-based healthcare delivery.
Area of Science:
- Healthcare Education
- Nursing Education
- Medical Simulation
Background:
- Interprofessional education (IPE) is crucial for healthcare collaboration.
- High-fidelity simulation offers a safe environment for IPE.
- Limited evidence exists on integrating high-fidelity simulation and IPE in cardiovascular nursing.
Purpose of the Study:
- To evaluate an interprofessional education model using high-fidelity simulation.
- To assess its impact on cardiovascular nursing trainees' clinical competence, collaborative attitudes, and critical thinking.
Main Methods:
- A quasi-experimental study with a non-equivalent cohort design.
- Compared a traditional single-profession simulation group with an interprofessional simulation group (n=45 each).
- Intervention involved scenario introduction, simulation practice, and debriefing; outcomes assessed via examinations and validated scales.
Main Results:
- The interprofessional group showed significantly higher theoretical (82.65 vs. 71.23) and operational scores (90.36 vs. 78.45).
- Marked improvements in collaborative attitudes (shared education, teamwork, nurse autonomy) were observed (p < 0.001).
- Critical thinking scores across all domains significantly increased in the intervention group (p < 0.001).
Conclusions:
- Interprofessional simulation-based training enhances critical thinking and collaborative attitudes in nursing trainees.
- This model supports the development of essential competencies for team-based clinical practice.
- Findings advocate for integrating interprofessional simulation into nursing education programs.
