BACKGROUND: Effective interprofessional teamwork is essential for the efficiency, safety and quality of healthcare system services and requires interprofessional education for medical students. Physical education is a simple and easy way to teach teamwork, which translates into team performance in the work environment. This study was conducted to examine the effectiveness of the physical education competition model, instead of the exams model, for improving teamwork skills among medical students.
METHODS: A quasiexperimental intervention design was used to measure the effect of a 16-week cheerleading programme on subjects' teamwork skills by completing a teamwork scale comprising four subdimensions, namely, personal characteristics, teamwork, leadership, and conflict management, before the start and at the end of the programme, and by comparing nonwinning to winning students to measure the effect of teamwork skills on team performance.
RESULTS: A total of 179 students completed the valid baseline and posttest (effective rate = 95.21%). The teamwork scale scores (B M = 4.81, R M = 5.05, p < 0.001) and 4 subdimension scores (personal characteristics p = 0.002, teamwork p = 0.028, leadership p < 0.001, conflict management p < 0.001) were statistically significant. Twenty-two of the 44 items in the scale improved significantly. The differences between students who won the competition and those who did not (N M=4.86, W M=5.14, p<0.01) were statistically significant, with no significant differences in personal characteristics p = 0.183; significant differences in the 3 subdimensions of teamwork p < 0.01, leadership p = 0.024, and conflict management p = 0.037; and a significant increase in 13 out of 44 self-efficacy items on the scale.
CONCLUSIONS: The "race for exams" physical education programme improved teamwork among medical students, and increased teamwork improved team performance. The "competition instead of examination" physical education programme provides a quantifiable method for improving interprofessional teamwork among medical students.
