The use of information communication technologies such as telemedicine has increased over the years, offering access to specialized healthcare even in remote locations. However, telemedicine in interprofessional team training is seldom included in medical or nursing programs, and little is known about how to practise these scenarios. This study aimed to explore how medical and nursing students experience teamwork when one team member is participating remotely and digitally.
Following interprofessional team training in which one team member participated remotely, focus group interviews were conducted with three teams, each comprising one medical student and two nursing students (n = 9 students in total). The focus group interviews were analysed with thematic content analysis. The Systems Engineering Initiative for Patient Safety model was applied as a theoretical framework and served as a lens in the analysis.
Three themes were identified in the analysis: challenging the dynamic of leadership, becoming familiar with a new setting, and finding new strategies to communicate.
The results of this study suggest that future physicians and nurses need to enhance their knowledge of practicing teamwork through telemedicine during their education, as the use of telemedicine continues to grow.
近年来，信息通信技术（如远程医疗）的使用有所增加，即使在偏远地区也能获得专业的医疗保健。然而，医学或护理课程中很少包含远程医疗的跨专业团队培训，对于如何实践这些场景也知之甚少。本研究旨在探讨当一名团队成员远程数字化参与时，医学生和护生如何进行团队合作。
在跨专业团队培训中，有一名团队成员远程参与，对三个团队进行了焦点小组访谈，每个团队由一名医学生和两名护生组成（共 9 名学生）。对焦点小组访谈进行了主题内容分析。应用患者安全系统工程倡议模型作为理论框架，并在分析中作为一个视角。
分析中确定了三个主题：领导的动态性挑战、熟悉新环境以及寻找新的沟通策略。
本研究结果表明，未来的医生和护士需要在教育中增强他们通过远程医疗进行团队合作的知识，因为远程医疗的使用正在不断增加。
