Popis: Effective teamwork is a critical component of maintaining patient safety. However, there is lack of clarity on the best teaching approach to interprofessional teamwork training in medical and nursing curricula. This study aimed to compare the effects of blended classroom plus clinical simulation versus clinical simulation alone on teamwork attitudes, perceptions and performance in medical and nursing students in Hong Kong. This was a pilot study with a mixed-method research design, with both quantitative and qualitative evaluations. Students who studied medicine or nursing courses at a university in Hong Kong were invited to this study. They were assigned into two groups: clinical simulation alone versus blended classroom plus clinical simulation. The primary outcome was attitudinal change related to teamwork behaviours, which was measured using the Human Factors Attitude Survey. The secondary outcomes were perceptions of team-based learning and teamwork performance, which were accessed by the Team-Based Learning Student Assessment Instrument and Ottawa Global Rating Scale, respectively. Four focus group interviews were conducted after the training sessions. Conventional content analysis using inductive coding was performed with the qualitative data. Forty-six students participated in this study. There was a significant increase in the participants' positive attitudes on teamwork for both groups (intervention
