A multilevel model comprising quantitative self-reports, qualitative-interviews, and administrative patient data is used to examine structural relations between theoretical constructs. Results supported training's positive effect on IPvariables, including facilitator competencies, as well as patient satisfaction. Qualitative codings were also generally supported, such that “hindering factors” exhibited negative relations on interprofessional (IP) variables, facilitator competencies, and patient satisfaction, whereas “promoting factors” exhibited positive effects on said variables. Findings contribute to preliminary empirical validation of a newly developed IPE/collaboration (C) evaluation framework.

This study utilized data from a sample of 172 therapeutic service providers from various locations in the United States; practitioners were surveyed to explore locus of control and vicarious trauma. Results indicated that locus of control was associated with levels of vicarious trauma. Those in agency settings, as opposed to private practice, were more at risk of vicarious trauma. Furthermore, it was found that older practitioners reported a higher level of locus of control and lower vicarious trauma.
