Projektbeschreibung
Hintergrund
Interprofessional education (IPE) interventions are not always successful in achieving learning outcomes. Team-Based Learning (TBL) would appear to be a suitable pedagogical method for IPE, as it focuses on team performance; however, little is known about interprofessional TBL as an instructional framework for patient safety.
Zielsetzung
A three-day course for Claudiana-students to give instruction on non-technical skills related to 'learning from errors' will be developed at Claudiana (iPEPS course). The evaluation will (1) describe participants’ reactions to TBL, (2) observe their achievement with respect to interprofessional education learning objectives, and (3) document their attitudinal shifts with regard to patient safety behaviours.
Design/Methode
The evaluation will take place within a quasi-experimental pre-test-post-test study design. Participants complete self-assessments through valid and reliable instruments. Data will be analysed using descriptive (i.e. mean, standard deviation), parametric (i.e. paired t-test), and non-parametric (i.e. Wilcoxon signed-rank test) methods.
Erwarteter Nutzen/Relevanz
The findings are expected to indicate whether interprofessional TBL constitutes a promising pedagogical method to achieve patient safety learning objectives. The gained empirical knowledge can be used to develop other interprofessional TBL initiatives at Claudiana.
