Description
Purpose: Employ a personal experience to advance inter-professional education and collaborative practice made by a case studies lecture, which refine and refresh the profession principles and values with healthcare students, explaining and suggesting ways to deal with ethical dilemmas that medical team face in their daily work routine in the hospital departments.
Background: September-October 2015, the refugee crisis in Europe, thousands of refugees (70% from Syria) took the relatively short voyage from Turkey to Lesvos Island in Greece by flimsy rubber boats. I volunteered with IsraAid NGO as a nurse who has a specialty for being an Arab speaker. After I processed my experience, I realized that the power and strengths that we had came from: teamwork, sharing the same terminology of values, goals and vision of the patient's holistic context, communication and collaboration. As an educator I felt that I have to share my human and profession experience with my healthcare students.
Description: I made a lecture that included case studies based on real photos taken from the shore. Each photo contains specific value or principle of the medical profession and nursing, includes ethical dilemmas, which we had to deal with in that disaster scene. The lecture has been presented to nursing students and it will be presented to medical students in the next year. Every case study was followed by a discussion with the students who shared their opinions, thoughts and perspectives of the values, principles and dilemmas like: decision-making, patient privacy and confidentiality, communication skills, responsibility, professional commitment, conflicts and ethical dilemma, teamwork and collaboration between staff, etc.
Preliminary Results: students described positive feedbacks by filling out an anonymous evaluation form. The ensuing discussions raised issues indicated a lack of knowledge and capacity dealing with certain dilemmas students may face in their close future professional life. The conclusion included coping strategies and conflict solutions.
Relevance to inter-professional education: The lecture has been presented to nursing students in a different year levels of education for engaging students in and preparing faculty for inter-professional education work.
Incorporation into education: the lecture will be presented in three Universities, to nursing and medical students.
Two to three measurable learning objectives relevant to the conference goals:
- Development unique education strategies based on personal/real or complicated situation like disaster scenes, focusing on team collaboration and teamwork, that can expose healthcare students to different work atmosphere based on the same values and principles, they may face in their close future professional life.
- The inter-professional collaboration with nursing and medical students will emphasize the same terminology that medical and nursing profession shares.
