dc.description.abstract | Aim: The objective of this study was to explore nursing and physiotherapy students’ views on peer learning as an innovative learning strategy.
Background: Departments of nursing and physiotherapy at Oslo University College, Norway, initiated a cooperative project based on interdisciplinary
and cross-level learning in patient transfer activities. Patient transfer is based on natural human body movement patterns, ergonomics,
and communication skills. The project involved partnering second-year physiotherapy students as tutors with first-year nursing students
as tutees in a peer learning relationship.
Methods: In order to evaluate the project 990 students from both groups completed a questionnaire with closed- and open-ended questions.
Results: Even though the nursing students had a significantly higher score for theoretical knowledge and practical skills, both groups of
students seemed to agree that learning patient transfer with and from each other were considered advantageous.
Conclusions: The findings indicate that students valued the use value of this innovative method for interdisciplinary and cross–level learning. | en_US |
