Postgraduate Interprofessional Case-Based Learning in Childhood Cancer: A Feasibility Study

Abstract

This paper presents a feasibility study assessing the acceptability, demand, implementation, and practicality of postgraduate interprofessional case-based learning in childhood cancer at Copenhagen University Hospital—Rigshospitalet. Healthcare professionals included nurses, doctors, social workers, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, pharmacists, pharmacologists, dieticians, nursing assistants, and professionals with a supportive function (teachers, secretaries, priests, and daycare workers). All participated in a postgraduate interprofessional case-based learning session. Feasibility was assessed using Bowen’s focus areas of acceptability, demand, implementation, and practicality. Before and after the intervention session, three measurement tools were used 2–3 weeks before participation and 3–4 weeks after participation to collect data: Assessment of Interprofessional Team Collaboration Scale, Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale, and Safety Attitudes Questionnaire. Representing 13 occupational groups, 49 participants completed the case-based learning sessions, indicating acceptability and practicality. The pre- and post-intervention questionnaires were completed by 79% of the participants, 88% of whom rated the professional content as good or very good. A change over time was detected on all three scales measuring mean difference post-intervention scores. The outcome measures can be used to assess the effect of the intervention. Postgraduate interprofessional case-based learning in childhood cancer is feasible in terms of acceptability, demand, implementation, and practicality. Implementation requires leadership commitment at all levels.

Application of hybrid BOPPPS teaching model in clinical internship in gynecology

“…With this knowledge comes self-con dence when they face patients and creating better treatment options and diagnostic. Previous studies have shown that case-based learning could play a supportive role in internship of medical students [10,11]. During the internship, they have to manage patients independently and prepare to presentation the case, so they have to fully engaged.…”

Clima de segurança nos ambientes de cuidado à saúde: revisão de escopo

“…(4,8,10) O hospital é o ambiente de cuidados com mais publicações. Isso se justifica dado à sua complexidade e diferentes perfis organizacionais (5,8,11,(13)(14)(15)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29) , reforçando a interferência da cultura de segurança em locais onde há maior probabilidade de riscos e, consequentemente, danos à saúde. Observa-se também a aplicação de estudos com a temática proposta em setores específicos como unidade de transplante de medula óssea, psiquiatria, centro obstétrico.…”

Application of the hybrid BOPPPS teaching model in clinical internships in gynecology

“…With this knowledge, trainee doctors had greater self-confidence when they faced patients, which led to better treatment options and diagnostics. Previous studies have shown that case-based learning could play a supportive role in medical student internships [ 12 , 13 ]. During internships, trainee doctors must manage patients independently and prepare to present cases, so they must be fully engaged.…”
