Abstract

Background

Although dementia management programs have been incorporated into nursing education to enhance knowledge and clinical skills, few programs are available for students in interdisciplinary curricula, particularly for managing dementia in home-based settings. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of an Interprofessional Education Simulation-based Dementia Management (IPE-SDM) program to improve the competencies of nursing and medical students in community-dementia care for older adults with dementia.

Methods

A nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design was employed. The participants were 39 students (experimental group: 20, control group: 19) from the nursing and medical schools at Keimyung Univeristy in South Korea. A 190-minute IPE-SDM program using standardized patients (SPs), structured into three sessions, was implemented for the experimental group. Data were analyzed using SPSS/WIN 25.0. Descriptive statistics, χ² test, Fisher’s exact test, independent t-test, and Mann-Whitney U test were used to assess pretest homogeneity. Repeated measures ANOVA with Bonferroni posthoc analysis was used to test the study hypotheses.

Results

Compared to the control group, the experimental group demonstrated statistically significant improvements in readiness for IPE (p = .044), self-efficacy for IPE (p = .030), teamwork attitude (p = .014), and the problem-solving process (p = .042).

Conclusions

The IPE-SDM program was found to be an effective intervention for enhancing interprofessional competencies. It holds potential for integration into formal interdisciplinary healthcare education curricula, contributing to the development of healthcare professionals equipped with the essential interprofessional skills required for community-based dementia care.

基于IPE-Sim的痴呆管理（IPE-SDM）项目对社区居住老年人护理和医学生的有效性

虽然痴呆症管理课程已被纳入护理教育，以提高知识和临床技能，但很少有课程可用于跨学科课程的学生，特别是在家庭环境中管理痴呆症。本研究旨在评估基于跨专业教育模拟的痴呆管理（IPE-SDM）项目的有效性，以提高护理和医学生对老年痴呆患者的社区痴呆护理能力。方法采用非等效对照组前测后测设计。研究对象为来自韩国启明大学护理学院和医学院的39名学生（实验组20人，对照组19人）。实验组采用标准化患者（SPs）进行190分钟的IPE-SDM计划，分为三个阶段。数据分析采用SPSS/WIN 25.0软件。采用描述性统计、χ 2检验、Fisher精确检验、独立t检验和Mann-Whitney U检验来评估前测均匀性。采用Bonferroni事后分析的重复测量方差分析来检验研究假设。结果与对照组相比，实验组在IPE准备度（p = 0.044）、IPE自我效能感（p = 0.030）、团队合作态度（p = 0.014）和问题解决过程（p = 0.042）方面均有显著改善。结论IPE-SDM项目是一种有效的跨专业能力提升干预手段。它具有整合到正式的跨学科保健教育课程的潜力，有助于发展具备社区痴呆症护理所需的基本跨专业技能的保健专业人员。

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.
