摘要：

Introduction: The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) expert panel advocates for health profession students to learn to work together. 1 This study examined the impact of a single interprofessional experience on three cohorts of health profession students’ readiness, knowledge, and perceptions of working as a team. Method: Interprofessional student teams were randomly formed (n=594) representing dietetics, nursing, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and speech language pathology. A video-case was presented and students participated in a guided discussion related to roles and team goals. Interprofessional faculty members facilitated discussions and answered questions. A pre-post design was employed using mixed methodologies. Quantitative measures were the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) and the Interprofessional Education Perception Scale (IEPS). Results: Pre and post data were evaluated using paired sample t-tests (PAWS 17.0). Statistically significant improvements were seen from pre to post testing on the RIPLS (p=.000) and IEPS (p=.000). A semi-structured interview guide generated focus group qualitative data. Analysis of focus group transcripts revealed three themes: knowledge and respect, communication, and teamwork. Conclusion: The IPE forum had a positive influence on students’ attitudes towards working as a team and enhanced professional identity and perceived competency. Qualitative themes were consistent with the IPEC core competency outcomes. © 2013, Springer International Publishing.
