Assessment of Interprofessional Competencies of Healthcare Professionals Before and After Healthcare Simulation Sessions

Overview

The aim of our study is to assess the interprofessional competencies of healthcare learners before and one month after interprofessional simulation sessions, and to demonstrate their impact on the work of healthcare professionals as part of their continuing education in a hospital setting. Initially, we will distribute a self-assessment questionnaire to all learners before the simulation sessions and again one month after the sessions. Hospital-based healthcare professionals register for the simulation training through the continuing education department of Gonesse Hospital. Physicians and medical students register through the training's designated physician. Paramedical students register through the training's designated nurse manager. We conduct two simulation training sessions per month on the topic of "Adult Life-Threatening Emergencies: Cardiac Arrest." Each session is composed of an interprofessional group. Before the start of the session, the questionnaire is distributed to all participants. Learners are asked to indicate only their profession and the date on the questionnaire. Each questionnaire is assigned a number in the order of collection to ensure anonymity. One month later, we resend the same questionnaire by email to the participants. This is a self-assessment questionnaire developed in Canada and scientifically validated, used to evaluate interprofessional collaboration competencies (Survey for the Achievement of Interprofessional Collaborative Competencies: SACCI). In a second phase, we will compare the results of the self-assessment questionnaires completed before and one month after the simulation sessions, using statistical analysis via Excel spreadsheet.
