Compassionate care is recognized as an intrinsic element of patient-centered care. Although the evidence seems to indicate that compassionate care can be developed in health professions students, few methodologies reported have been interprofessional in nature. This paper describes Caregivers Are Heroes, an interprofessional educational strategy designed to imbue compassion/caring.
The sample population consisted of 51 caregivers and 170 students enrolled in three graduate programs during the 2014 summer semester. Students conducted caregiver interviews (CGI) in interprofessional groups of 3 to 4 students. Pre- and post-CGI surveys were designed to measure change in student attitudes and perceptions from the CGI experience. Questions were taken from the Attitude Towards Helping Others (AHO) scale and the Zarit Burden Interview Screen (ZBIS).
Analysis indicated a significant change in responses for one of the four AHO statements and significant correlation between caregiver ZBIS score and student post-CGI ZBIS score.
Quantitative outcomes support the use of this strategy to promote changes in student attitudes that might lead to caring and compassion when interacting with caregivers and the recipients of their care. The variability of caregiver ZBIS scores is consistent with the literature on caregiver burden and emphasizes the need for students to appreciate the individuality of the caregiver experience.
关怀照护被视为以患者为中心的照护的一个内在要素。尽管有证据似乎表明关怀照护可以在卫生专业学生中培养，但所报道的方法很少具有跨专业性质。本文描述了“护理人员即英雄”这一旨在灌输同情心/关怀的跨专业教育策略。
样本群体包括51名护理人员和170名在2014年夏季学期参加三个研究生项目的学生。学生们以3至4名学生的跨专业小组形式进行护理人员访谈（CGI）。CGI前后的调查问卷旨在衡量学生从CGI经历中态度和认知的变化。问题取自“对帮助他人的态度”（AHO）量表和“扎里特负担访谈筛查”（ZBIS）。
分析表明，四个AHO陈述之一的回答有显著变化，且护理人员ZBIS得分与学生CGI后ZBIS得分之间存在显著相关性。
定量结果支持使用该策略来促进学生态度的转变，这种转变可能会使他们在与护理人员及其护理对象互动时表现出关怀和同情心。护理人员ZBIS得分的可变性与关于护理人员负担的文献一致，并强调学生需要认识到护理人员经历的个体差异。
