Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.

This study shows that interprofessional simulation training significantly improves Doctor of Nursing Practice-Family Nurse Practitioner students' ability to identify and manage intimate partner violence (IPV). The training enhanced knowledge and readiness to address IPV, promoting better victim care.
Area of Science:
- Medical Education
- Public Health
- Nursing Practice
Background:
- Intimate partner violence (IPV) is prevalent, affecting 36-50% of individuals.
- A significant gap exists in IPV training within graduate healthcare programs, with only 30% offering it.
- Interprofessional collaboration is crucial for effective IPV response.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the impact of an interprofessional simulation on Doctor of Nursing Practice-Family Nurse Practitioner (DNP-FNP) students' knowledge, attitudes, and skills regarding IPV.
- To enhance students' confidence and competence in identifying and managing IPV cases.
- To foster interprofessional collaboration among future healthcare providers, law enforcement, social workers, and advocates.
Main Methods:
- A high-fidelity, four-station simulation was implemented for 22 DNP-FNP students.
- Intervention included patient interviews, physical examinations with simulated injuries, assessment, reporting protocols, debriefing, and Danger Assessment training.
- Student learning was evaluated using pre- and post-intervention Physician Readiness to Manage Intimate Partner Violence Surveys (PREMIS).
Main Results:
- Students reported high satisfaction with the simulation (4.7-4.8/5).
- Perceived preparation and knowledge regarding IPV management showed significant improvement (p = .0000).
- Actual knowledge scores increased from 78.4% to 82.8% post-simulation.
Conclusions:
- The interprofessional simulation effectively enhanced DNP-FNP students' readiness to address IPV.
- The training model shows promise for scalability to over 275 participants.
- Improvements in IPV identification, interprofessional collaboration, and ultimately victim outcomes are anticipated.
