Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual interprofessional collaboration in public health educational intervention.
Design: Mixed-methods study.
Methods: Sample (N =171) consisted of community health nursing students, who completed an assessment after watching six videos, illustrating how various disciplines collaborate in a public health department.
Findings: Participants felt their interprofessional awareness, understanding, and collaboration intention increased; clarified discipline misconceptions, and application/utilization plans for this knowledge in practice were revealed.
Conclusions: Interprofessional collaboration in public health educational intervention was effective in increasing participants' interprofessional awareness, understanding, and intent to collaborate.
Clinical evidence: Educational intervention is a strategy to improve students' knowledge of interprofessional collaboration in public health.
