COMPARISONofCommunication OutcomesinTraditional VERSUS Simulation StrategiesinNursing and Medical Students

Abstract

The Institute of Medicine has called for more interprofessional collaboration between physicians and nurses. The purpose of this research was to compare the outcomes in affective and communication domains using a traditional (roundtable) model versus simulation in nursing and medical students. A prospective, descriptive survey design was used to collect data on 41 senior bachelor of science in nursing students, and 19 second-year medical students. The simulation strategy resulted in statistically higher levels of stress as identified by participants. In addition, nearly all participants reported having a better sense of the clinical role, and with 55 percent of participants stating that the experience changed their view of the role of the clinical team. This initial study indicates that interprofessional communication may be enhanced using simulation.

Use of High-Fidelity Simulation to Teach End-of-Life Care to Pharmacy Students in an Interdisciplinary Course

“…Additionally, the high-fidelity simulation group reported significantly more stress during the scenario. 10 These previous studies on the use of simulation, specifically those related to pharmacy and nursing education, guided the development of the current study. The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of a high-fidelity simulation end-of-life experience on pharmacy students' attitudes and perceived competencies in care of the dying.…”

“…However, there is limited research on interprofessional simulation, with the most common being found among nursing and medical professions (Baker et al, 2008;Dillon et al, 2009;Maxson et al, 2011;Reese, Jeffries, & Engum 2010;Reising, Carr, Shea, & King, 2011), and nursing and paramedics (van Soeren et al, 2011;van Soeren, Devlin-Cop, MacMillan, & Reeves, 2012). Only a few others have reported on projects involving other health professions.…”
