The complexity of healthcare and concurrent advances in technology have promoted Interprofessional Education (IPE) in healthcare schools to prepare students to collaborate on interdisciplinary teams. Since 2016, healthcare curricula in Taiwan have incorporated IPE-based capstone courses to enhance creativity. To better understand the predictors of team creativity could help educators improve IPE and outcomes for nursing students and patients.
To determine whether nursing students' demographic characteristics, individual creativity, and perceived team interaction behaviors, team swift trust, team conflict, and team task interdependence may predict high perceived team creativity in IPE settings.
A cross-sectional study design included nursing students (N = 99) at a science and technology university in Taiwan. Data from self-report questionnaires included variables for demographic characteristics, individual creativity, and perceived team characteristics. A hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed predictors of high perceived team creativity.
Nursing students who perceived high team creativity also perceived higher interaction behaviors and lower process conflict than those who perceived less creativity. Spontaneous communication and team task conflict predicted high perceived team creativity.
Nursing educators could increase team creativity in IPE by encouraging spontaneous communication and constructive task-oriented conflict management. This may benefit patient outcomes in the future.
医疗保健的复杂性和同时代技术的进步推动了医疗保健学校的跨专业教育(IPE),以培养学生在跨学科团队中合作。自 2016 年以来,台湾的医疗保健课程已经纳入了基于 IPE 的顶点课程,以提高创造力。更好地了解团队创造力的预测因素可以帮助教育工作者改善 IPE 以及护理学生和患者的结果。
确定护理学生的人口统计学特征、个体创造力以及感知的团队互动行为、团队快速信任、团队冲突和团队任务相互依存性是否可以预测 IPE 环境中高感知团队创造力。
一项横断面研究设计包括台湾一所科技大学的护理学生(N=99)。自我报告问卷中的数据包括人口统计学特征、个体创造力和感知团队特征的变量。分层多元回归分析揭示了高感知团队创造力的预测因素。
感知团队创造力高的护理学生也比感知创造力较低的学生感知到更高的互动行为和更低的过程冲突。自发沟通和团队任务冲突预测了高感知团队创造力。
护理教育者可以通过鼓励自发沟通和建设性的以任务为导向的冲突管理来提高 IPE 中的团队创造力。这可能有助于未来的患者结果。
