Background: Patient safety, morbidity, and mortality are directly correlated with interprofessional collaboration among health care practitioners. TeamSTEPPS offers a standardized curriculum for interprofessional teamwork training that can be incorporated into prelicensure education. This article describes the current state of the science related to the quantitative literature exploring the outcomes of TeamSTEPPS training in prelicensure health care practitioner students' education.
Method: The Whittemore's and Knafl's method guided this integrative review. The CINAHL and PubMed databases were queried and ancestral searches of the reference lists of all retrieved articles were conducted.
Results: Nine quantitative research studies were identified for inclusion in this integrative review.
Conclusion: The available literature suggests that using TeamSTEPPS within prelicensure education supports the development of teamwork knowledge and attitudes in interdisciplinary health care practitioner students. Most of the reviewed studies focused on nursing and medical students; thus, further research is needed on allied health care practitioner students. [J Nurs Educ. 2020;59(11):610-616.].
