Abstract

Background

In the age of automation and technology, incorporating empathy in pre-licensure healthcare education is essential in providing empathic care to patients and co-workers. This can be achieved through interprofessional education (IPE).

Objective

To consolidate evidence to evaluate interprofessional education's impact on pre-licensure healthcare students' empathy levels.

Design

A mixed-studies systematic review following a convergent segregated approach.

Methods

Ten electronic databases were searched from their inception until 30 November 2023. Quantitative, qualitative, and mixed-method studies that explored the impact of IPE on the change in empathy level in pre-licensure healthcare students were reviewed. The methodological quality of the included studies was assessed using the Mixed-Method Appraisal Tool. Findings from the qualitative and quantitative aspects were analysed and synthesized separately using thematic and narrative synthesis. The findings were integrated by convergent synthesis.

Results

A total of 36 studies involving 3887 participants were included in this review, consisting of five quantitative, 14 qualitative and 17 mixed-methods studies. This review found that IPE enhanced the empathy level of students by improving their understanding of empathy and various empathic responses. Through IPE activities, students demonstrated empathy towards both patients and interprofessional peers. Three themes were generated through the synthesis of qualitative and quantitative results: (1) Empathy Awareness, (2) Internal Empathic Processes, and (3) Intentional Actions. The results showed that healthcare students exhibited empathic care behaviours towards patients and their interprofessional peers.

Conclusion

The findings of this review suggested that IPE was effective in improving awareness and knowledge of empathy and in providing empathy care to patients and interprofessional peers. This review encourages educators to implement IPE to pre-licensure healthcare students to increase their knowledge of the importance of providing empathic patient care and interprofessional empathy. Future research could explore more on the processes of interprofessional empathy in students.

跨专业教育对执照前医护学生移情能力的影响:混合研究系统综述
背景在自动化和技术时代,在执照前医疗保健教育中融入同理心对于为患者和同事提供同理心护理至关重要。目标整合证据,评估跨专业教育对执照前医护学生移情水平的影响。方法检索了十个电子数据库,检索时间从开始到 2023 年 11 月 30 日。综述了探讨 IPE 对执照前医护学生移情水平变化的影响的定量、定性和混合方法研究。采用混合方法评估工具对纳入研究的方法质量进行了评估。采用专题综合法和叙事综合法分别对定性和定量方面的研究结果进行分析和综合。本综述共纳入 36 项研究,涉及 3887 名参与者,其中包括 5 项定量研究、14 项定性研究和 17 项混合方法研究。综述发现,IPE 提高了学生的移情水平,增强了他们对移情和各种移情反应的理解。通过 IPE 活动,学生对病人和跨专业同行都表现出了移情。通过综合定性和定量结果,得出了三个主题:(1)移情意识;(2)内部移情过程;(3)有意行动。结果表明,医护学生对病人和跨专业同行表现出了移情护理行为。结论本综述的研究结果表明,IPE 能有效提高移情意识和知识,并为病人和跨专业同行提供移情护理。本综述鼓励教育者对执照前医护学生实施 IPE,以增加他们对提供移情患者护理和跨专业移情重要性的认识。未来的研究可以进一步探讨学生的跨专业移情过程。
