Abstract

BackgroundThis project used simulation as the strategy for bringing 43 nursing and 21 social work students (N = 64) together to develop interprofessional competence. MethodA narrative analysis of the qualitative learner responses was conducted. ResultsFour major themes emerged including the interprofessional setting characteristics, the value of collaborative communication between professions, student affective experience, and the student lessons learned. ConclusionsResults validated the effectiveness of simulation, while also exposing the lack of sufficient interprofessional preparation in the overall curriculum in both programs. Implications for quality improvement and future research are explored.
