A preliminary simulation-based qualitative study of healthcare students' experiences of interprofessional primary care scenarios.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Introducing interprofessional education (IPE) in healthcare curricula can prepare students for healthcare practices that have become increasingly complex. The use of simulation is promoted to support IPE. This study explores healthcare students' experiences of participating in common, sub-acute patient scenarios that routinely occur in clinical practice in primary care. More specifically, it looks at how sub-acute patient scenarios from primary care can help develop interprofessional collaborative competence.

Methods

Medical students (N = 10), master's students in advanced geriatric nursing (N = 8) and bachelor's students in nursing (N = 9) participated in the simulations. The students were in their last or second-to-last year of education. We conducted five semi-
