Interprofessional simulated learning: Short-term associations between simulation and interprofessional collaboration

Validity and reliability of a multiple-group measurement scale for interprofessional collaboration
Background: Many measurement scales for interprofessional collaboration are developed for one health professional group, typically nurses.

To this end, the paper begins development of a new interprofessional collaboration measurement scale designed for use with nurses, physicians, and other professionals practicing in contemporary acute care settings.
