Aims: Simulation-based education in nursing education has been shown to be as effective as experiences in the actual clinical environment; however, little evidence exists on the assessment of simulation in multidisciplinary teams to assess program outcomes. The purpose of this research study was to investigate nursing program outcome data specific to interprofessional collaboration in a simulation experience involving nursing and physical therapy (PT) compared to data from this same simulation experience involving nursing only.
Methods: Senior nursing students from two different cohorts, cohort A (n=58) and cohort B (n=47), and 14 PT students participated as learners in the simulation investigated in this research study.
