Evaluating the Impact of In-Situ Simulation on Interprofessional Healthcare Team Training
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: in Situ Simulation, Simulation in Training Center
In brief
Clinical simulation has established itself as an essential methodology in healthcare training, enabling the development of technical and non-technical skills in controlled and safe environments. This study proposes a randomized trial that compares the impact of two learning contexts-a simulation center and the in situ simulation (ISS) environment in the operating room-on the training of interprofessional teams. The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness and efficiency of each context in the acquisition and performance of technical and non-technical skills, as well as participants' perceptions of realism, teamwork, and patient safety. The randomized experimental design reinforces the methodological rigor and internal validity of the results, allowing the identification of important differences between the two approaches. The scarcity of studies on interprofessional simulation in a real clinical context underscores the relevance of this research, which may provide scientific evidence to guide training policies and promote safer, more collaborative practices. It is expected that the results will contribute to improving interprofessional training programs and supporting the systematic integration of ISS in the healthcare field, especially in high-complexity environments.
