Abstract

Background: This study reports the first non-nursing application of the Jeffries Simulation Design Scale (SDS) tool in dietetics education to assess design features of two interprofessional simulation activities for perceived learner importance. Method: The SDS tool was modified to decrease nurse-specific terminology and increase usability, then administered to all nursing and allied health students prior to (n = 243) and after (n = 294) a palliative care simulation and a communication simulation. Results: Three hundred and thirty-four students (167 students each year in 2018 and 2019) from five disciplines (dietetics, exercise physiology, pharmacy, social work, and nursing) participated. Ratings by these mixed-profession groups emphasized the perceived importance of feedback, support, and fidelity, as has been reported previously for nursing-only groups. Conclusions: Further validation of the modified SDS tool for non-nursing application is warranted to provide simulation designers an evaluation tool to further improve simulation activities.
