q2 i? The full-intervention group (condensed TeamSTEPPS plus 11 simulation exercises over 12 months) significantly decreased its weighted adverse outcome score from 1.15 to 0.72 (P < 0.05); the training-only group remained stable and the control group worsened. → Costar 2020

The review reports the only identified study measuring transfer from a simulation intervention to the job: the full-intervention group's "weighted adverse outcome score from 1.15 to 0.72 (P < 0.05)", while the training-only group stayed stable (1.46–1.45, not significant) and controls rose from 1.05 to 1.50.

"The authors found that the group who received the full intervention (condensed TeamSTEPPS training coupled with 11 simulation exercises over the course of 12 months) significantly decreased their weighted adverse outcome score from 1.15 to 0.72 (P < 0.05) over the study period."
