Simulation-enhanced interprofessional education (sim-IPE) is a growing component of undergraduate health curricula, preparing learners for the practice environment and, in doing so, redefining practice culture. The Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative (CIHC) has established a national competency framework of integrative competency domains focused on fostering core skills, attitudes, and values in an effort to evolve interprofessional collaboration (IPC). This framework serves as the foundational underpinning for IPE within all health professions. is a sim-IPE experience collaboratively developed by faculty from Bachelor of Nursing and Respiratory Therapy programs within two Atlantic institutions leveled for third-year nursing and respiratory therapy students. This event provides an opportunity for participants to enhance their knowledge of the six CIHC IPE domains, and improve their understanding of and appreciation for IPC. Within this context learners must work together, and rely on the expertise of both professional groups to critically think through and improve a declining client scenario. Once complete, debriefing and reflective journaling help participants solidify learning and deduce new frames of understanding. It has been hypothesized that this event enhances student knowledge of CIHC IPE domains, and creates a deeper appreciation for, and understanding of IPC. The primary objective of this research was to determine if participants' understanding of CIHC IPE domains improved, and if perceptions of their own and the other profession were reframed as a result of this innovation.
This article describes the educators' approach in setting up and delivering this learning experience and the results of this event through students' perceptions. This cross-sectional study used a descriptive mixed-methods design. Two data collection tools were used to explore changes in participants' perceptions and event feedback.
Data analysis found that the majority of participants identified value in this IPE learning experience. Qualitative and quantitative findings suggest participants developed a deepened appreciation for IPC and an improved understanding of the CIHC IPE competency domains.
The evaluative findings of this study support the value of as a novel IPE learning experience. Although it is unclear to what degree objectives were met, findings strongly support continued integration of this learning experience.
模拟强化跨专业教育（sim-IPE）是本科健康课程中日益重要的组成部分，旨在让学习者为实践环境做好准备，并在此过程中重新定义实践文化。加拿大跨专业健康协作组织（CIHC）制定了一个综合能力领域的国家能力框架，专注于培养核心技能、态度和价值观，以推动跨专业协作（IPC）。该框架是所有健康专业领域内跨专业教育的基础支撑。[此处缺失一个主语，原文表述有误]是由两个大西洋地区机构的护理学学士和呼吸治疗专业的教师共同开发的一次sim-IPE体验活动，面向三年级护理和呼吸治疗专业的学生。该活动为参与者提供了一个机会，以增强他们对CIHC跨专业教育的六个领域的了解，并增进他们对跨专业协作的理解和认识。在此背景下，学习者必须共同努力，并依靠两个专业群体的专业知识，批判性地思考并改善一个病情恶化的患者案例。活动结束后，进行汇报和撰写反思日志有助于参与者巩固所学知识，并得出新的理解框架。据推测，该活动能增强学生对CIHC跨专业教育领域的了解，并使他们对跨专业协作有更深刻的认识和理解。本研究的主要目的是确定参与者对CIHC跨专业教育领域的理解是否得到改善，以及这种创新是否使他们对自身专业和其他专业的看法发生了改变。
本文描述了教育工作者设置和开展这次学习体验活动的方法，以及通过学生的反馈得出的活动结果。这项横断面研究采用了描述性混合方法设计。使用了两种数据收集工具来探索参与者看法的变化和活动反馈。
数据分析发现，大多数参与者认为这次跨专业教育学习体验有价值。定性和定量研究结果表明，参与者对跨专业协作有了更深刻的认识，对CIHC跨专业教育能力领域有了更好的理解。
本研究的评估结果支持了[此处缺失一个主语，原文表述有误]作为一种新颖的跨专业教育学习体验的价值。尽管尚不清楚目标达成的程度，但研究结果强烈支持继续整合这种学习体验。
