q2 · i? · review · r3

The review reports, from Clay et al.'s mandatory two-part simulation with 144 medical and nursing students, that "interprofessional teams performed better for identification of pressure ulcer risk than single persons (p < 0.05)"; 46% of teams versus 10% of individuals identified the risk.

"In the team‐based simulation only 46% of the teams identified pressure ulcer risk properly. For the individual‐simulation it was even lower at 10%. It was shown that interprofessional teams performed better for identification of pressure ulcer risk than single persons (p < 0.05)"
