Abstract

Background

In contemporary healthcare, effective communication among healthcare team members is vital for enhancing patient safety and care delivery outcomes. The Joint Commission has identified communication breakdowns as a major factor in sentinel events. Interprofessional education (IPE) is a key strategy for equipping future healthcare professionals with teamwork and communication skills. Team Strategies and Tools to Enhance Performance and Patient Safety (TeamSTEPPS) is an established IPE program developed to improve team performance and patient safety through improved communication skills. This article introduces an innovative method for teaching TeamSTEPPS to interprofessional students at a large public university.

Methods

The study involved 466 students from various health occupations and compared participation in a role-play session prior to simulation versus simulation without role-play.

Results

In all participating students, a positive attitude was observed on attitudes toward teamwork. Students who participated in role-play before simulation reported higher confidence in using TeamSTEPPS tools.

Conclusion

Role-play prior to simulation can be a strategy to enrich the instructional design to teach TeamSTEPPS tools to a large, diverse group of interprofessional students.

准备未来的医疗保健专业人员：TeamSTEPPS培训中的角色扮演和模拟

在现代医疗保健中，医疗团队成员之间的有效沟通对于提高患者安全和医疗服务结果至关重要。联合委员会已经确定通信中断是哨兵事件的一个主要因素。跨专业教育（IPE）是为未来的医疗保健专业人员配备团队合作和沟通技巧的关键战略。提高团队绩效和患者安全的团队战略和工具（TeamSTEPPS）是一个成熟的IPE项目，旨在通过提高沟通技巧来提高团队绩效和患者安全。本文介绍了在一所大型公立大学对跨专业学生进行TeamSTEPPS教学的一种创新方法。方法对466名来自不同卫生职业的学生进行了研究，比较了模拟前的角色扮演和不进行角色扮演的模拟。结果所有参与的学生对团队合作的态度都是积极的。在模拟之前参与角色扮演的学生报告说，他们对使用TeamSTEPPS工具有更高的信心。在模拟之前的角色扮演可以作为丰富教学设计的一种策略，以便向大量不同专业的学生教授TeamSTEPPS工具。

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.
