Abstract

Background

Interprofessional collaborative practice has caused considerable interest but the effects of integrating interprofessional education (IPE) into a nursing therapeutics subject have not been investigated.

Aim

To evaluate students’ attitudes, knowledge, skills, competency in interprofessional collaboration, and experiences in IPE.

Methods

A concurrent nested design was adopted. Students were assessed using scales before and after the programme. A focus group interview was also conducted.

Results

Among 159 nursing students, a statistically significant increase after the programme was found in knowledge of the roles and scopes of medicine, social work, pharmacy, traditional Chinese medicine, engineering, and law (p < 0.05), interprofessional team skills (p < 0.001), and competency (p < 0.001). Four main categories were identified: ‘‘thoughts on interprofessional collaboration,’’ ‘‘gains from the education programme,’’ ‘‘barriers to a positive learning experience,’’ and ‘‘working towards a better learning experience.’’

Conclusion

IPE had positive effects on students. The results provide valuable insights for educators to integrate IPE into the nursing curriculum.

跨大学跨专业教育计划对护理专业学生的影响：一项并行嵌套研究

背景跨专业合作实践已经引起了相当大的兴趣，但将跨专业教育（IPE）融入护理治疗学学科的效果尚未得到调查。目的评估学生对国际政治经济学的态度、知识、技能、跨专业合作能力和经验。方法采用并行嵌套设计。学生们在课程前后分别用量表进行了评估。此外，还进行了焦点小组访谈。结果159名护生对医学、社会工作、药学、中医药、工程、法律等专业的角色和范围的知识（p <； 0.05）、跨专业团队技能（p <； 0.001）、胜任力（p <； 0.001）均有显著提高。研究确定了四个主要类别：“对跨专业合作的思考”、“从教育项目中获得的收获”、“积极学习经历的障碍”和“为更好的学习经历而努力”。结论ipe对学生有积极的影响。研究结果为教育工作者将IPE纳入护理课程提供了有价值的见解。
