Measuring Stereotypes in Interprofessional Education: A Pilot High-Fidelity Simulation Study Among Postgraduate Nursing and Physician Students in a Spanish University.
Healthcare (Basel)
December 2024
Background/objectives: Nursing professionals are often subject to social stereotypes that can hinder effective teamwork with other healthcare professionals and limit their professional growth. Interprofessional education (IPE) enhances teamwork skills and promotes a better understanding of other professional groups. This study aimed to identify the presence of stereotypes associated with nursing among postgraduate nursing and student physicians specializing in emergency medicine and to assess the applicability of simulation as an IPE strategy.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the importance of preventing cardiac arrests in hospitals and highlights the implementation of Rapid Response Systems (RRS) as a strategy to address this issue, noting a lack of research specifically in Spain.
- A nationwide survey was conducted with 62 healthcare professionals in Spain, revealing that while many institutions have Rapid Response Teams (RRT), only a small percentage activate them early despite having the necessary equipment and training.
- Findings indicate variability in training and monitoring practices related to RRT and suggest the need for improved communication and quality indicators to enhance emergency response efforts in Spanish hospitals.
Objectives: Fine needle aspiration (FNA) is an invaluable diagnostic procedure for evaluation of lesions; however, acquisition of diagnostic material is dependent on the skill of the practitioner. We report a novel patient simulator for teaching the FNA procedure and structured assessment tools for educators and learners.
Methods: We created a novel simulator model for FNA training, employed a standardized teaching module, and assessed procedure utility in medical students.
Background And Objective: Recent studies support the use of non invasive ventilation (NIV) in patients with acute cardiogenic pulmonary edema (ACPE). We aimed to evaluate the factors related to the success of the technique in patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with ACPE.
Patients And Method: An observational prospective study was performed in ICU.
