Overview

Educational intervention reveals increased comfort and skill in health history taking among interprofessional clinicians, highlighting the efficacy of community-partnered simulation.

Key Points

  • To develop, implement, and evaluate a community-partnered simulation learning activity designed to improve comfort and skills in taking health histories from transgender and nonbinary individuals among interprofessional healthcare learners.
  • Collaborated with academic faculty, simulation educators, a gender-affirming clinic, and transgender and gender-diverse community members who served as patient-teachers to design two clinical cases.
  • Assigned N=33 interprofessional learners (12 midwifery students, 16 women's health nurse practitioner students, and 5 obstetrics and gynecology residents) into groups of three to complete a case scenario followed by a structured debriefing.
  • Evaluated learner-reported comfort, clinical history taking skills, and attitudes using pre- and post-simulation assessments.
  • Learners demonstrated statistically significant improvements across all self-reported comfort and skill questions from pre- to post-simulation.
  • Attitude assessments showed no statistically significant differences between pre- and post-simulation responses.
