Abstract Background Prior studies suggest interprofessional teamwork training improves trauma resuscitation team performance and outcomes. This study explores whether additional improvements are observed with advanced trauma nurse training in comparison with prior interprofessional teamwork studies conducted in the same setting. Methods This is a prospective, quasiexperimental preintervention and postintervention study incorporating TeamSTEPPS® with interprofessional simulations. Results Trauma nurses' self-confidence in skills increased significantly in all areas after training (p Conclusions Study findings support prior studies, suggesting teamwork training improves team attitudes and performance. Interprofessional trauma resuscitation team training provided every 6 months may support sustained improvement gains over time.
