Abstract

Objectives: Examine the impact of TeamSTEPPS® training and simulation experiences on student knowledge and teamwork attitudes in a baccalaureate-nursing program. Methods: This study used a quasi-experimental, pre-test, post-test design. The intervention included a workshop followed by 2 days of simulation experiences. Participants included a total of 46 nursing students. Instruments included the TeamSTEPPS learning benchmark and the Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (TTAQ). Results: Scores on the learning benchmark increased following the intervention. In addition, changes in subscores of teamwork strategies, leadership, situation monitoring, and mutual support on the T-TAQ indicate an improvement in student attitudes toward teamwork. Conclusions: Incorporating TeamSTEPPS® strategies into undergraduate education can be effective in increasing student knowledge and improving attitudes toward interdisciplinary teamwork.
