Abstract
Background
Physical distancing restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic led to the transition from in-person to online learning for many health sciences educators. This study was conducted to compare the effects of two online learning activities addressing interprofessional teamwork on health science students’ attitudes towards teamwork.
Methods
This study was designed as a randomized quasi-experimental study. The nursing (n = 30), physiotherapy and rehabilitation (n = 30), and nutrition-dietetics (n = 30) students were assigned to either online standardized patient simulation (n = 45) or online case analysis (n = 45) groups. Students’ attitudes towards interprofessional teamwork were collected pre- and post-test evaluation using the TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (T-TAQ).
Results
No significant differences were found between T-TAQ mean scores prior the intervention (p > .05). However, following the intervention, whilst the T-TAQ mean scores were not found to be statistically significant between the two groups (p > .05), the students’ pretest and posttest T-TAQ mean scores did show a statistically significant difference (p < .05).
Conclusion
We found online learning activities to be a successful alternative to physical interprofesional education activities and a worthwhile opportunity to develop health science students to interprofesional teamwork.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Simulation in Nursing is an international, peer reviewed journal published online monthly. Clinical Simulation in Nursing is the official journal of the International Nursing Association for Clinical Simulation & Learning (INACSL) and reflects its mission to advance the science of healthcare simulation.
We will review and accept articles from other health provider disciplines, if they are determined to be of interest to our readership. The journal accepts manuscripts meeting one or more of the following criteria:
Research articles and literature reviews (e.g. systematic, scoping, umbrella, integrative, etc.) about simulation
Innovative teaching/learning strategies using simulation
Articles updating guidelines, regulations, and legislative policies that impact simulation
Leadership for simulation
Simulation operations
Clinical and academic uses of simulation.
