Dutch TEAM tool validated for resus training
Translation and Validation of the TEAM-NL Instrument for Assessing Interprofessional Team Performance in Simulation-Based Resuscitation Training
Resuscitation Plus · 2026-10 · Added 22 October 2026
A Dutch translation of the TEAM team-performance instrument showed high internal consistency (Cronbach's α 0.93) and good three-rater reliability (ICC 0.78) across 104 simulated resuscitation team performances in ALS courses.
- Study type
- Other
- Design
- Cross-cultural translation and validation study
- Participants
- 52 participant groups, 104 observed team performances, 299 instructor ratings
- Main finding
- Internal consistency was high (α 0.93), three-rater reliability good (ICC 0.78) and the total score correlated strongly with global ratings (r 0.86), though ceiling effects affected all items
- Caveat
- Ceiling effects on every item and only moderate reliability with two raters
- Bottom line
- Context only
Why it matters in Australia (High relevance). TEAM is already used in resuscitation training internationally, so confirming its psychometrics in another language strengthens the assessment tools Australian instructors rely on.
Learning goal
Understand how structured team performance tools can strengthen debriefing quality in simulation-based resuscitation training.

Clearer AED voice prompts fix lay-user errors
A simulated cardiac arrest assessment of 81 final-year Spanish dental students found fewer than 10% correctly performed 8 of 10 AED steps with standard voice prompts (median time to shock 143 s), and a modified set of instructions significantly improved key actions.

Joint training linked to higher behavioural emergency confidence
City-wide single-group pre-post evaluation of a 4-hour interprofessional behavioural-emergency course in Taiwan: self-efficacy rose from 3.16 to 3.54 (dz 0.76) and cognition rose in the 395 paired attendees, but stigma scores did not improve; the authors note these are pre-post associations, not causal evidence.

Interprofessional simulation shapes student identity
An Australian exploratory qualitative study of undergraduate paramedic, nursing and medical students found an interprofessional simulation event challenged assumptions about professional hierarchy and role identity, prompting students to reconsider advocacy, handover and assertive communication.
