Simulação realística na educação interprofissional de estudantes de graduação da área da saúde: Uma breve revisão da literatura

Abstract

Realistic simulation based on interprofessional education (IP) is one of the pillars of 21st century medical education. Such an approach to education associated with simulation features is a relatively new area, and some authors have reported their experiences with promising results. Although multidisciplinary care is important in clinical practice, traditionally, students from different health professions have little opportunity to work as a team during graduation, which does not allow real understanding of the other professional's need for more effective work. In this way, IP education allows students from different courses to learn to work together with more efficient forms of collaboration that promote the high quality of multiprofessional service, increase the confidence of the IP team and patient safety. Despite the differences in the populations evaluated, in the scenarios, environments, themes and technologies used in the simulation, the studies present positive results regarding the good acceptance by the participating students and the development of communication skills and technical knowledge in their area. However, new studies are needed to evaluate this type of training in order to solidify it as an educational tool to be implemented in graduate schools of courses for health professionals.
