| Summary: | Objectives: The study was aimed to create simulation environment with developing new education programmes
to increase the awareness of interprofessional collaboration and patient safety education in department of health
sciences in Hacettepe University in 2010.
Materials And Methods: Doctor candidates had courses about theoretical basic knowledge (28 hours),
orthopedic clinic case examples based on empirical learning (4 hours), simulation interventions on standard
patients with orthopedic clinical scenarios (28 hours) and solution meetings (4 hours) in the field of
physiotherapy occupation. A questionnaire including questions about information, attitude, behaviour and
awareness in the occupation of physiotherapist was applied 47 students at the beginning and the end of the
education programme.
Results: No statistically significant difference were found on answers to questions related to similar medical
courses during bachelor education (p=0.219), having academic degrees (p=0.180), interventions related to
patient safety (p=0.383), invasive practice (p=0.143) that demonstrated their awareness in the field of
physiotherapy occupation. There were significant differences related to questions about intensive care
employment (p<0.001), not have a responsibility of diagnosis (p=0.041), give an injection, or to take blood
(p=0.007), radiography consultation and prescribe medicine (p<0.001) that indicated the strengths of the
interprofessional collaboration and patient safety courses improved the awareness of the students.
Conclusion: New education programmes and methods aimed simulation environments has to develop in the
education of health professionals. In our country, this pilot study serves as a model in education in health
sciences. |
