Randomized Controlled TrialInterprofessional simulation-based training in gynecologic oncology palliative care for students in the healthcare profession: A comparative randomized controlled trial.
Preprofessional palliative care education may be inadequate, leaving a gap in health professional students' knowledge and understanding of managing patients with gynecologic cancer and their families. Interprofessional simulation-based training may be useful in helping health professional students gain the necessary skills required for palliative care. ⋯ The introduction of high-fidelity simulation and hybrid simulation or hybrid simulation-based interprofessional training in undergraduate education can increase students' palliative care knowledge, interdisciplinary education perception, and teamwork attitudes. Training programs that are used together with high-fidelity simulation and hybrid simulation applications in interdisciplinary training should be integrated into the undergraduate curricula of future cooperating health professions.
