Abstract
- Background
: This study aims to report the development process of a communication training program targeting residents and nurses in a university hospital and discuss the results of the analysis of questionnaire responses received from the participants. Methods : A training program comprising a lecture on prescription principles, team communication, role-playing using cases based on medical errors related to prescriptions was developed. This two-hour program was conducted four times from September to December in 2022, with 31 residents and 37 nurses. After the program, the participants completed a questionnaire about program satisfaction. Results : An analysis of the questionnaire responses received from 28 residents and 37 nurses revealed that participants had an average satisfaction score ranging from 4.18 to 4.44 for each item. No difference was found between the residents’ and nurses’ responses. The participants shared positive opinions regarding the efficiency of the role-playing experience. The areas highlighted as those requiring improvement were the inclusion of various cases, improvement of teamwork, and a reduction in lecture volume.
Conclusion
: The participants reported being satisfied with the two-hour program to improve prescribing-related communication for residents and nurses. Future research should improve the program contents by reflecting on the opinions of the participants, and grasp the efficacy of the program by using a tool to measure communication skills or attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration before and after the program.
