Investigación en educación interprofesional basada en simulación

Abstract

The observational research employs certain strategies for the discovery and interpretation of facts through a careful and systematic study designed to answer questions in order to make decisions and obtain new knowledge to solve a problem. Two paradigms guide this research: the positivist (quantitative) and the naturalist or constructivist (qualitative), the first one uses numbers and statistics to explain a phenomenon while the latter interprets the social reality. The educational research in health sciences has increased in recent years; therefore, the interprofessional simulation has also increased. The objective of conducting interprofesional educational research is to identify and evaluate the different factors involved in teamwork and the non-technical skills in the interprofesional clinical education based on simulation. To achieve the expected results, it is important to have high quality tools that are valid and reliable according to its objectives.
