Exploring Self-Efficacy and Leadership Using Peer Learning in Interprofessional Clinical Simulation for Respiratory Therapists

Abstract Details

2016, Master of Science, Ohio State University, Allied Medicine.
Introduction: Interprofessional clinical simulation has been introduced as the new standard for healthcare education within which peers are able to collaborate about patient care in a real-life scenario. This type of educational tool has been linked to higher confidence in skill and communication practice. However, there has been a lack of regarding the peer interaction as a tool to precept these scenarios. This study describes the effects of peer learning in the context of interprofessional clinical simulation. Methods: This study used a pre/post-test survey design to assess self-efficacy changes as well as post-test likert-type scaling and open-ended reflection responses. Additionally, it utilized a strengths survey assessment for half of the participants. Results: A total of 29 students from the Respiratory Therapy program participated. Two-tailed Paired t-tests were utilized to assess changes in self-efficacy post-simulation demonstrating that students felt a statistically significant increase in most self-efficacy items for both the peer preceptor and peer learner including increased confidence in motivation, coping with conflict and communication skills. Additionally, independent sample t-tests were used to determine if there was any difference in perception of the peer learning experience based on role. There was no statistically significant difference based on role in any of the items assessed. Qualitative data suggested themes of confidence and perspective as being key components to a successful peer learning experience. Conclusions: Peer learning in the interprofessional clinical simulation environment leads to benefit for both the peer preceptor and peer learner. Participation in interprofessional clinical simulation results in increased self-efficacy and enhancement of leadership and communication skills which may impact future practice.
