Interprofessional Education and Collaborative Practice is a promising solution, necessitating the cultivation of skills and competencies among health and social care professionals.

This mixed-methods study seeks to provide hybrid healthcare program educators with evidence regarding the effect of a remote simulation to address the topic of interprofessional collaboration. Methods: Authors investigated student self-assessed competency, satisfaction, and self-confidence in response to a remote learning activity in which Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students and licensed occupational therapists and speech language pathologists collaborated in a simulated pediatric case discussion via video-conferencing technology. The Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey-Revised and the Student Satisfaction and Self-Confidence in Learning scale were administered to 97 entry-level Doctor of Physical Therapy (DPT) students. One-on-one semi-structured interviews were completed to acquire student perception about the learning experience. Results: Results confirmed a significant increase in self-assessed collaborative competency attainment and students reported general levels of satisfaction and self-confidence in learning related to the interdisciplinary, remote simulated experience. Qualitative responses revealed three main themes: (1) unique interaction in a structured simulation experience, (2) ‘it was definitely a point of confirmation’, a learning experience, and (3) collaboration. Discussion: The use of remote healthcare simulation has the potential to improve interprofessional collaborative learning and practice among allied healthcare students. Faculty might consider the use of remote simulated experiences for the purpose of interprofessional learning in hybrid or online programs. Use of this teaching method within other groups of allied healthcare students should be examined. Implications for Practice Remote simulation can be an effective and satisfactory method of teaching interprofessional collaboration among allied healthcare students in hybrid programs. Quantitative and qualitative findings offer evidence that entry-level DPT students in hybrid programs value remote simulation as a learning opportunity and were engaged in the educational process. Faculty of hybrid allied health professional education programs may want to consider implementation of remote simulation for the purposes of interprofessional collaboration with the intent of readying students for practice.","PeriodicalId":320540,"journal":{"name":"Health, Interprofessional Practice and Education","volume":"13 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139224940","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Interprofessional shadowing experiences can facilitate understanding of team roles; however, enhanced understanding may not transform individual practices leading to workplace improvement. This educational innovation utilized a resident/nurse shadow program to raise awareness of interprofessional roles and as a needs assessment to identify and educate about specific system-wide standards that can lead residents to transform their practices to improve nurse workflow. METHODS From 2018-2020, 44 first-year pediatric residents at a free-standing children’s hospital shadowed nine nurse preceptors. Each nurse received an orientation and checklist of topics to cover. Residents observed nursing responsibilities including admissions, line placement and medication administration. All participants completed pre-post surveys. RESULTS Post-surveys demonstrated a statistically significant improvement (p<.00001) in Likert scores of residents’ self-rated understanding of nursing cares and workflow. The experience uncovered three system-wide scheduling standards where resident modification of ordering practices could optimize nursing workflow: timing of morning lab draws, new medication administration, and delivery of dietary formula. The shadow program was modified to include education in these three areas and participants had statistically significant (p<.01) increased knowledge of timing of morning labs and new medication administration (35% and 39% improvement, respectively). Nurse understanding of resident workflow was not measured due to limited data.DISCUSSION A resident/nurse shadow program successfully improved resident awareness of nursing roles and was an innovative way to identify specific areas of workflow improvement. Program modifications are required to create a true, bidirectional, resident/nurse interprofessional shadow experience.

Interprofessional assessment tools are plentiful, but most rely on self-report rather than performance data. Thus, the purpose of this study was to develop a computer-based situational judgment test to evaluate health professional student preparedness for interprofessional practice.\u0000METHODS The investigators developed the Creighton Interprofessional Situational Judgment Test (C-IPSJT) which includes nine interprofessional clinical case scenarios, each with multiple questions reflecting IPEC competencies. Subsequently, focus groups representing both IPE and health education experts were convened to assess the C-IPSJT.\u0000RESULTS Qualitative analysis revealed several themes. Participants found that the C-IPSJT was a novel assessment of interprofessional skills and case scenarios presented were reflective of current clinical practice. Challenges were found in understanding the role of the test taker, discerning correct responses, and the need for further validity testing. Additional themes included the impact team dynamics have on learner responses and how student responses could be affected by their place on the learning continuum.\u0000DISCUSSION Findings from the initial testing of the C-IPSJT demonstrate positive content validity through two independent content expert reviews. Content experts identified that the C-IPSJT could be a viable mechanism to differentiate between novice and competent health professional students. Future research includes item revision, testing over a larger sample in which psychometric properties and item analysis can be studied, and establishing content validity.","PeriodicalId":320540,"journal":{"name":"Health, Interprofessional Practice and Education","volume":"53 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134035267","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
