| Summary: | Background:One of the barriers to interprofessional ethics education is a lack of resources that actively engage students in reflection on living an ethical professional life. This project implemented and evaluated an innovative resource for interprofessional ethics education.Objectives:The objective of this project was to create and evaluate an interprofessional learning activity on professionalism, clinical ethics, and research ethics.Design:The Brewsters is a choose-your-own-adventure novel that addresses professionalism, clinical ethics, and research ethics. For the pilot of the book, a pre-test/post-test design was used. Once implemented across campus, a post-test was used to evaluate student learning in addition to a student satisfaction survey.Participants and research context:A total of 755 students in six academic schools in a health science center completed the activity as part of orientation or in coursework.Ethical considerations:The project was approved as exempt by the university’s Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects.Findings:The pilot study with 112 students demonstrated a significant increase in student knowledge. The 755 students who participated in the project had relatively high knowledge scores on the post-test and evaluated the activity positively.Discussion:Students who read The Brewsters scored well on the post-test and had the highest scores on clinical ethics. Clinical ethics scores may indicate issues encountered in mass media.Conclusion:The Brewsters is an innovative resource for teaching interprofessional ethics and professionalism. Further work is needed to determine whether actual and long-term behavior is affected by the activity. |
