Role swapping between nurses and physicians in simulated endoscopy training enhances collaboration and teamwork: a prospective observational pilot study.

ABSTRACT:

Background and aims

Gastrointestinal endoscopy is a collaborative process requiring technical and nontechnical skills from both physicians and nurses. Role swapping during simulated procedures has the potential to enhance skill development and team dynamics. The study aimed to evaluate the impact of role swapping on technical and nontechnical skills, as well as on team collaboration and satisfaction, among endoscopists and nurses during simulated endoscopic procedures.

Methods

A pilot study was conducted with 22 participants (10 endoscopists and 12 nurses). Participants completed pre- and postsimulation assessments using validated self-rating scales: Non-Technical Skills for Surgeons (NOTSS), Scrub Practitioners' List of Intraoperative Non-Technical Skills (SPLINTS), and cus
