Abstract

Aims: Diverse teams can function at the highest levels, producing innovative, impactful outcomes. However, teams must learn to work through conflict that can coexist with diverse perspectives. While teamwork evaluation rubrics exist, there is a shortage of curricula offering early healthcare students tools, practice, and structured feedback toward diverse teamwork preparation. This pilot study aimed to assess feasibility of a novel educational rubric.

Methods: Our multidisciplinary team synthesized 3 validated rubrics to develop a Diverse Teams Rubric (DTR). We investigated the DTR through a retrospective survey of doctoral physical therapy (DPT) students who had recently completed a team-based course. The survey included the 8-item DTR and 14 questions about DTR feasibility.

Results: Of 42 respondents, 89% endorsed the DTR's usefulness in evaluating team effectiveness. 83% reported their team was diverse and 36% reported experiencing microaggressions within past teams. Regarding the DTR, the microaggressions item ("Team effectively managed microaggressions.") received the lowest average score.

Conclusion: Preliminary findings suggest DPT students find the DTR accessible and useful in promoting team skills within diverse group-learning settings. Students frequently encounter microaggressions in teams and responses suggest increased education is warranted. Next steps include prospective DTR assessment and validation, with particular attention to psychological safety.

建立医疗保健专业人员参与不同团队的能力的新准则的可行性：一项试点研究。

目标：多样化的团队可以在最高水平上发挥作用，产生创新的、有影响力的结果。然而，团队必须学会在可以与不同观点共存的冲突中工作。虽然团队合作评估标准存在，但缺乏为早期医疗保健学生提供工具、实践和结构化反馈的课程，以进行多样化的团队合作准备。这项初步研究的目的是评估一种新的教育大纲的可行性。方法：我们的多学科团队综合了3个经过验证的标准，制定了多元化团队标准（DTR）。我们通过对最近完成团队课程的博士物理治疗（DPT）学生的回顾性调查来调查DTR。调查包括8项DTR和14个关于DTR可行性的问题。结果：在42名受访者中，89%的人认可DTR在评估团队有效性方面的有用性。83%的人表示他们的团队是多元化的，36%的人表示在过去的团队中经历过微侵犯。关于DTR，微侵犯项（“团队有效地管理微侵犯”）。获得最低的平均分数。结论：初步研究结果表明，DPT学生发现DTR在不同的小组学习环境中对提高团队技能是可行的和有用的。学生经常在团队中遇到微侵犯，反应表明有必要加强教育。下一步包括前瞻性DTR评估和验证，特别关注心理安全。
