Comparison of learning outcomes of interprofessional education simulation with traditional single-profession education simulation: a mixed-methods study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Interprofessional collaborative practice is essential for meeting patients' needs and improving their health outcomes; thus, the effectiveness of interprofessional education (IPE) should be clearly identified. There is insufficient evidence in the literature to determine the outcomes of IPE compared to traditional single-profession education (SPE). This study aimed to compare the outcomes of IPE and SPE during a simulation training course.

Methods

The study design was a mixed-methods, incorporated cross-over design and a qualitative survey. A total of 54 students including 18 medical students and 36 nursing students were recruited from March to April 2019. The 4-week simulation course was designed based on Kolb's experimental learning theory and Bandura's social l
