Abstract

Introduction: Interprofessional education is a teaching approach that brings together students or professionals from two or more health disciplines. Interprofessional simulation is a strategy for interprofessional education that aids in acquiring competencies for proper performance in multidisciplinary environments. An interprofessional training program was developed in a public hospital, which included simulation with the participation of several health professionals.

Objective: To know the professionals’ assessment of the training programme.

Material and Method: Quantitative, quasi-experimental study, carried out at the Hospital de Urgencia Asistencia Pública (HUAP), Santiago, Chile. A survey was the instrument used to determine the professionals' assessment of various aspects. The participants responded anonymously. Informed consent was used, and approval was obtained from an Ethics Committee.

Results: 106 professionals participated, of whom 71.70% were female, and 28.30% were male. The average score of the survey was 4.72 ± 0.10 for the female group and 4.62 ± 0.20 for the male group (p < 0.05). Aspects such as a respectful environment, the possibility of reflection, and the identification of professional roles were highly valued. The least valued aspects were related to the availability of equipment, the ability to perform checks and counterchecks of the actions, and the time and the extension and depth of the contents.

Conclusions: The interprofessional training programme obtained a high valuation, coinciding with the theoretical benefits of interprofessional education.
