Anesthesia technology students' perspectives on multidisciplinary preoperative education: Implications for interprofessional training.
Article in Journal of education and health promotion, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundMultidisciplinary preoperative education enhances patient comprehension, reduces anxiety, and improves safety outcomes. However, the perspectives of anesthesia technology students regarding their preparedness for such roles remain underexplored. This study assessed anesthesia technology students' perceptions of multidisciplinary collaboration in preoperative education and evaluated perceived curricular readiness. MATERIALS AND
methodsAn institution-based descriptive cross-sectional survey was conducted at Gulf Medical University, Ajman, UAE, between March 1
resultsMost respondents (93%) recognized multidisciplinary teamwork as essential to effective preoperative education, yet only 17% had observed consistent collaboration in clinical settings. Confidence in contributing to multidisciplinary education was reported by 37%, while 35% believed the curriculum had prepared them adequately. Thematic analysis revealed calls for enhanced simulation-based training, structured interprofessional opportunities, more precise role delineation, digital tools, and strategies to overcome language barriers.
conclusionWhile anesthesia technology students strongly value multidisciplinary collaboration, they report limited confidence and exposure during training. Targeted curricular enhancements, particularly simulation and structured interprofessional education, are needed to strengthen student readiness for preoperative patient education. These findings illustrate the value of integrating comprehensive communication and teamwork skills into anesthesia technology programs to optimize patient outcomes and interprofessional collaboration.
