Abstract
Introduction: Poor teamwork has been implicated in medical error and teamwork training has been shown to improve patient care. Simulation is an effective educational method for teamwork training. Post-simulation reflection aims to promote learning and we have previously developed a self-assessment teamwork tool (SATT) for health students to measure teamwork performance. This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of a revised self-assessment teamwork tool.Methods: The tool was tested in 257 medical and nursing students after their participation in one of several mass casualty simulations.Results: Using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, the revised self-assessment teamwork tool was shown to have strong construct validity, high reliability, and the construct demonstrated invariance across groups (Medicine & Nursing).Conclusions: The modified SATT was shown to be a reliable and valid student self-assessment tool. The SATT is a quick and practical method of guiding students’ reflection on important teamwork skills.
