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. Three to 4 nursing students and 1 PT student were randomly placed into an interprofessional team to care for two patients. Nursing students were evaluated on program outcome competencies by nursing educators.
Results: The Mann Whitney U-test indicated a significant difference in performance scores for the program outcome specific to interprofessional collaboration between nursing students in cohort A (+PT) and nursing students in cohort B (-PT), p<0.05.
Conclusions: The results of this study demonstrate that two professions are more effective when they work together as a team because they have multiple perspectives from which to collect information.

Background: Despite the short- and long-term acknowledged benefits of breastfeeding for mothers and their infants, worldwide rates trail behind international goals. Prior research confirms that breastfeeding is a nurse sensitive indicator and that problems with latching the baby and painful breastfeeding rank high among the reasons given for not continuing to breastfeed. The Lactation Assessment Tool (LAT) was previously evaluated in a study conducted in Latvia by nurse midwives.

Background/objectives: The projected increase from 58 million older adults in 2022 to 82 million by 2050 in the United States highlights the urgency of preparing nursing students to care for this aging population. However, studies reveal negative attitudes among nursing students toward older adults. A three-phased educational intervention that included an artificial intelligence (AI)-driven virtual simulation was implemented to address this.
