Abstract

BackgroundInterprofessional education occurs when students from different disciplines come together to gain knowledge of each other's roles, philosophies, and abilities. MethodThis qualitative study assessed nursing and divinity student responses/perceptions of an interprofessional simulation. Three cohorts of students (nursing, n = 17; divinity, n = 5) engaged in a three-part simulation using a standardized patient and focused on management of postpartum complications. Debriefing sessions were recorded for qualitative analysis. ResultsTwo key categories emerged: holistic patient care and interprofessional awareness. ConclusionsStudent responses conveyed meaning-making experiences with new appreciation of interprofessional and intraprofessional roles. Students expressed improved ability to provide competent holistic care.
