Abstract

Background

The literature has documented a direct correlation between ineffective teamwork and unfavorable patient outcomes. Although numerous studies have addressed teamwork concerns in clinical practice, limited research has examined nursing students’ attitudes toward teamwork.

Aim

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of TeamSTEPPS training on prelicensure nursing students’ attitudes toward teamwork.

Design

A quantitative, one-group pre-post study design compared the group’s survey scores before and after the TeamSTEPPS educational intervention.

Methods

The sampling methodology used a convenience sample of consenting senior nursing students from a public university in the midwestern United States. The Wilcoxon Signed Rank test was used for data analysis.

Results

The Wilcoxon Signed Rank test revealed a statistically significant increase (p < .001) in nursing students’ (n = 77) TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (T-TAQ) scores following the educational intervention.

Conclusions

The TeamSTEPPS training improved prelicensure nursing students’ attitudes about teamwork. Nurse educators can positively impact nursing students’ attitudes about teamwork before they enter the healthcare workforce.

TeamSTEPPS训练对护生团队合作态度的影响

文献已经证明了无效的团队合作与不良的患者预后之间的直接关联。虽然许多研究已经解决了临床实践中的团队合作问题，但有限的研究已经检查了护理学生对团队合作的态度。目的探讨TeamSTEPPS培训对护生团队合作态度的影响。设计了一种定量的、一组的前后研究设计，比较了小组在TeamSTEPPS教育干预前后的调查分数。方法采用方便抽样的方法，选取美国中西部一所公立大学的大四护理系学生。采用Wilcoxon sign Rank检验进行数据分析。结果经Wilcoxon sign Rank检验，护生（n = 77）的TeamSTEPPS团队合作态度问卷（T-TAQ）得分在教育干预后显著提高（p < .001）。结论TeamSTEPPS培训提高了护生团队合作态度。护理教育者可以积极影响护理学生在进入医疗保健工作队伍之前对团队合作的态度。
