There are consistent reports of poor interprofessional collaboration and communication between conventional health professionals and traditional and complementary medicine (TCM) professions. The application of IPE within courses that provide training in TCM requires close examination. This research aimed to identify the state of the art in IPE in TCM teaching. A scoping review was conducted. Thirteen databases were searched to identify citations up to March 2021. Thirty articles were selected after filtering for relevance against the inclusion criteria. The included articles were categorized into four a priori categories: Knowledge and Attitudes of students and professionals about TCM and IPE; Competencies of IPE in TCM; Teaching about TCM using IPE and Challenges and Opportunities for IPE in TCM. Nineteen of the included articles reported empirical research and primarily presented the evaluation of IPE activities within TCM courses or workshops; six studies consisted of texts with propositions and theoretical analyses; and five were case/experiential reports of IPE and TCM interventions, with or without evaluation of results. The studies report all health science students (undergraduate and graduate) exposed to IPE demonstrate a decrease in prejudice and an increase in knowledge about TCM. A sense of partnership developed through the collaborative competencies common to IPE and TCM and integrated care of patients. IPE in the context of TCM has been used for fostering integrative health care through the collaborative work of professional teams. Implementing IPE in TCM teaching requires inclusion in the curriculum, primarily undergraduate and research training.","PeriodicalId":50174,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interprofessional Care","volume":"62 1","pages":"1-13"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142225231","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A descriptive design with a qualitative approach was used. Data were collected through semi-structured individual interviews with 22 patients. Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis was used. The main finding was that patients were only included as passive participants. Although most patients wanted to be involved, they were hindered due to their health condition or excluded from care planning and decision-making. The patients needed family members' support to be involved. However, this need was not recognised by the interprofessional team of healthcare students.

This study evaluates the implementation of a co-designed IPE program and investigates what and how healthcare students learn and what factors influence their learning. A mixed-methods approach was used to evaluate three cases, with student participation in the IPE (n = 72). The study comprised pre- and posttests, focus groups, and interviews (n = 54). The results indicate that students developed their interprofessional skills and person-centered practice, as confirmed by both the students and educators in the interviews. Additionally, the findings suggest that others also learned from the program. The study emphasizes the influence of workplace learning culture, resources, organizational infrastructure for IPC, and educators' embeddedness in the care organization on learning outcomes. The findings suggest that IPE is stimulated and accelerated by existing IPC and can stimulate or accelerate existing IPC. As the enabling factors are interrelated, addressing them simultaneously on all organizational levels may result in the faster development of an IPE-ready organization.","PeriodicalId":50174,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interprofessional Care","volume":"19 1","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142198807","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This may be partly explained by potential misconceptions regarding IRT`s \"limitation\" to cross-sectional data. The aim of this study is to demonstrate how Item Response Theory (IRT) can be applied effectively in before-and-after designs in IPE research. Specifically, a two-week before-after design with survey methodology using the Extended Professional Identity Scale (EPIS), an interprofessional identity measure, was conducted among n = 146 mixed health-science students. Results indicated that EPIS increased significantly before-after intervention by .74 standardised mean differences, t146 = 7.73, p < .05. The before-after IRT model also gave a test-retest reliability estimate of .60 which was considered acceptable. Comparison of the IRT model with a conventional paired-t-test indicated similar effect size estimates of Cohen's d = .56 and .54, respectively. We demonstrate IRT`s flexibility to before-after studies in IPE. Application of this model can yield accurate changes in target IPE constructs, and it is advantageous to classical test theory vis-à-vis baseline differences.","PeriodicalId":50174,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interprofessional Care","volume":"89 1","pages":"1-4"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142198806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Taiwan is the fastest aging country in the world. In 2016, Taiwan implemented the Long-Term Care Plan 2.0 (TLTCP 2.0), aimed at providing integrated long-term care (LTC) services in communities. However, LTC service agencies have not been able to evaluate the level of integrated care they provide due to the lack of an effective assessment tool. To address this need, this study sets out to develop an integration assessment tool, namely the Self-Assessment for Service Integration in Long-Term Care (SASI-LTC), which will allow LTC agencies to self-evaluate their current level of integration from multiple perspectives. The SASI-LTC was developed based on Evashwick's framework, underwent two rounds of Delphi panels with twenty-six experts, and a pilot test with 243 valid questionnaires from administrators of Tier A agencies who are responsible for integrating LTC. The Delphi experts assessed the content with high levels of agreement using medians, the scale content validity index (SCVI) and item content validity index (ICVI). The SASI-LTC included four domains (inter-entity organization and management, integrated care coordination, integrated resources, and integrated information systems) with thirty items. The SASI-LTC showed good reliability (Cronbach's α = 0.94) and good validity, and a confirmatory factor analysis showed a good model fit index [χ2/df = 1.38; RMSEA = 0.040; CFI = 0.963; SRMR = 0.049] in pilot testing.

Results indicated that item and person statistics, unidimensionality, scaling performance, and local independence of the Individual JTOG were comparable between online and in-person samples, suggesting it is consistent in its measurement of CP competencies across collaborative settings. Psychometric properties were strong, but ceiling effects were present. Minor deviations were found in the Individual JTOG's unidimensionality between professional groups.
