Introduction: Simulation is a common and beneficial learning method in healthcare education. Interprofessional simulation combines both interprofessional collaboration and simulation, and it has been found to improve teamwork, interprofessional collaboration, and patient safety. This study aimed to evaluate medical and paramedical students' attitudes toward interprofessional simulation and their competence to act in acute situations.

Methods: High-fidelity interprofessional acute simulations focused on internal medicine emergencies and both child and adult resuscitation are part of medical and paramedical curricula at Tampere University and Tampere University of Applied Sciences. A total of 120 final-year medical students and 34 third-year paramedical students participated in these simulations in spring 2021 and were asked to answer pre- and post-questionnaires. The response rates were 91% (n=140) for the pre-questionnaire and 86% (n=132) for the post-questionnaire. A mixed method was used for analysis.

Results: The students' attitudes toward interprofessional simulations were positive, and interprofessional simulation was considered an effective and safe learning method. Students experienced interprofessional simulations as an excellent learning method. Before the interprofessional simulations, 66% of the students rated their skills to act in acute situations as good or very good, and after the interprofessional simulations, 95% of the students rated their skills to act in acute situations as good or very good. Effective debriefing and positive feedback were considered important for learning. Interprofessional simulations promoted understanding of other professions and interprofessional communication. When the students self-evaluated their skills to act in acute situations, improvement was detected.

Conclusions: Medical and paramedical students appreciated interprofessional collaboration. The students considered interprofessional simulation as an effective learning method and promoting the understanding of other professions. Results confirm that interprofessional simulation is also a good way to teach non-technical skills such as communication and teamwork.

简介： 模拟是医疗教育中常见且有益的学习方法。跨专业模拟结合了跨专业协作和模拟，已被发现可以改善团队合作、跨专业协作以及患者安全。本研究旨在评估医学生和护理技术学生的跨专业模拟态度及其在紧急情况下的行动能力。

方法： 高度仿真的跨专业急性模拟课程涵盖内科急症和儿童及成人复苏，是坦佩雷大学和坦佩雷应用科学大学医学与护理技术课程的一部分。2021年春季，共有120名四年级医学生和34名三年级护理技术学生参与了这些模拟，并被要求填写预测试问卷和后测试问卷。预测试问卷的回复率为91%（n=140），后测试问卷的回复率为86%（n=132）。采用混合方法进行分析。

结果： 学生对跨专业模拟的态度是积极的，他们认为跨专业模拟是一种有效且安全的学习方式。学生们将跨专业模拟视为一种优秀的学习方法。在参与跨专业模拟之前，66%的学生认为自己处理紧急情况的能力很好或非常好；而在完成跨专业模拟之后，95%的学生对自己的应急处理能力感到满意。有效的反馈和积极的评价被认为对学习非常重要。跨专业模拟促进了对学生其他职业的理解以及跨专业的沟通。当学生自我评估他们在紧急情况下的行动技能时，可以检测到改进。

结论： 医学生和护理技术学生重视跨专业合作。他们认为跨专业模拟是一种有效且促进理解其他职业的学习方法。研究结果表明，跨专业模拟也是教授非技术性技能（如沟通与团队合作）的良好途径。
