About this study
Official title: Simulation-Based Interprofessional Education for Surgical Residents: A Prospective Study Design for Team-Based Competency Development
This single-center, prospective, single-arm pilot study will evaluate a simulation-based interprofessional education program for early-career operating room team members at Yongin Severance Hospital. Participants will include postgraduate year 1-2 surgical residents, newly appointed anesthesia nurse practitioners, and newly appointed operating room nurses. Participants will complete two simulation-based interprofessional education sessions, each including scenario-based team training and structured debriefing. Teamwork self-efficacy and readiness for interprofessional learning will be assessed before and after the educational intervention. The study will also assess program completion as a feasibility outcome. Optional semi-structured interviews may be conducted to explore participants' perceptions of the program and suggestions for improvement.
Read the detailed description
Effective teamwork and communication among operating room team members are important for patient safety and perioperative care. However, early-career surgical residents and nursing staff may have limited opportunities to learn team-based competencies together in a structured, interprofessional format. This study is a single-center, prospective, single-arm pilot study designed to evaluate the feasibility and preliminary educational effects of a simulation-based interprofessional education program for operating room teams. Eligible participants will be assigned to interprofessional teams consisting of surgical residents, anesthesia nurse practitioners, and operating room nurses. The educational intervention will include two simulation-based sessions conducted during the study period. Each session will last approximately 60 minutes and will include a scenario-based team exercise followed by structured debriefing. Representative scenario themes may include operating room safety events, communication challenges, equipment or instrument-related events, and intraoperative crisis management. The primary outcome is the change in teamwork self-efficacy from baseline to Week 7, assessed using a 15-item interprofessional teamwork self-efficacy questionnaire. Secondary outcomes include the change in readiness for interprofessional learning, assessed using the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale, and program completion rate. Optional semi-structured interviews may be conducted after completion of the educational sessions to explore participants' perceptions of the program, perceived relevance to clinical practice, and suggestions for improvement.
Interview participation and audio recording, if performed, will be optional and based on separate consent. No investigational drug, biologic product, or medical device will be used in this study.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Simulation-Based Interprofessional EducationBehavioural
The intervention consists of two 60-minute simulationbased interprofessional education sessions for operating room team members. Each session includes a representative operating room scenario and structured debriefing. Debriefing topics include role clarity, shared mental model, situational awareness, open communication, cross-monitoring, mutual respect, and application to clinical practice.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Simulation-Based Interprofessional Education | Experimental | Participants assigned to this single study arm will receive two simulation-based interprofessional education sessions during the study period. Each session will include a scenario-based operating room team exercise and structured debriefing focused on teamwork, role clarity, communication, situational awareness, and collaboration. Receives: Behavioral: Simulation-Based Interprofessional Education |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Change in teamwork selfefficacy score
Teamwork self-efficacy will be assessed using a 15-item interprofessional teamwork selfefficacy questionnaire. Each item is scored on a 6-point Likert-type scale, with higher scores indicating greater confidence in team-based competencies. The outcome will be calculated as the change in total score from baseline to Week 7.
Measured: Baseline and Week 7
Secondary outcomes (2)
Change in readiness for interprofessional learning score
Readiness for interprofessional learning will be assessed using the 19-item Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale. Items are scored on a 5- point Likert scale, and reverseworded items will be recoded according to the scoring plan. Higher adjusted scores indicate greater readiness for interprofessional learning. The outcome will be calculated as the change in overall score from baseline to Week 7.
Measured: Baseline and Week 7
Program completion rate
Program completion rate will be calculated as the proportion of enrolled participants who complete the baseline assessment, two simulationbased education sessions, and Week 7 post-intervention assessment.
Measured: Through Week 7
