Becoming a team player: Evaluating a simulation interprofessional activity between third year nursing students and second year medical radiation science students - A feasibility study

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Background Simulation activities allow students to engage in interprofessional learning in safe, low-risk environments conducive to learning. This enables students to make connections between different health professionals outside of the clinical setting to help improve their practical patient centered care. Sample Third year nursing and second year medical radiation sciences students. Method Participants were invited to take part in an interprofessional simulation activity. Participants could then choose to complete an online survey after the practical simulation activity. Results Survey results showed that most participants found the simulation IPL activity to be useful. Conclusion Simulation education can be implemented to raise awareness of the roles of nursing and medical radiation science student practitioners by other student practitioners. There is scope to incorporate interprofessional simulation activities in future curriculum educational design to aid student interprofessional awareness, communication and collaboration.
