q2 · i? · review · r3

The review's synthesis of outcome timing across included articles; most assessments occurred immediately after training in simulated settings.

"Collaborative behaviors were observed before and after simulations in 49 (84.5%) articles. Thirty-nine (67.2%) of these articles reported some improvement in collaborative behaviors assessed and 10 (17.2%) articles did not report any change."

q2 · i? · review · r3

The review reports few longer-term measurements; of 15 articles including clinical outcome measures, 11 showed improvements and 4 showed no impact.

"Eight (13.8%) articles measured longer-term outcomes, either through simulation56,58–60 and/or in clinical settings.38,56,61–63 Fifteen (25.9%) articles included measures of the impact of the training on clinical outcomes, such as patient safety."

Discussion¶

Related Claims¶

• Comparative ISBTT studies suggest simulation added to training improves collaborative behaviors, with mixed results for modality and interprofessional versus uniprofessional comparisons — related
• Skill retention after simulation is rarely measured; at 2-month follow-up only the VR group maintained significant ISVS improvement — related
• Most ISBTT programs are one-time events involving two or three professions, with debriefing nearly universal and psychological safety rarely addressed — related
