Summary

Aging population is an important public health issue and require coordinated and comprehensive response. Medical and nursing schools need to address challenges in health care delivery, and interprofessional simulation-based education (IPSE) provides realistic learning experiences in which interprofessional communication, roles and teamwork can be developed and assessed.

The study aims to examine the effectiveness of delivering an IPSE program versus traditional course to nursing and medical students. The primary outcome is improved communication skills, assessed by Communication Skill Attitude Scale (CSAS) divided in two subscales: Positive Attitude Scale (PAS) and Negative Attitude Scale (NAS).

IPSE program

1. Pre-immersion preparation. A self-study course will be offered about lifestyle modification. Some readings will be suggested to introduce students to the concepts of health promotion and prevention of metabolic syndrome. 2. Immersion. Four different learning methods will be provided: I) four hours of didactic lectures followed by group discussion, II) four hours per student of role playing, III) 30' per students of standardized patient experiences and IV) 30' per students of a new immersive advanced simulation learning environment (e-REAL). Four case-studies will be used to create scenarious, including woman with menopause weight gain, obese young adult, obese child and adult with unhealthy behaviours.
