Background

There are a variety of designs and implementation strategies reported for interprofessional education (IPE); however, most of these descriptions lack robust evaluations of interprofessional (IP) outcomes.

Interprofessional education activity

An IPE Workshop Series was implemented for preclinical and prelicensure students in eight health professions, consisting of four sessions: health professionals' roles and responsibilities (1A); introduction to patient safety (1B); IP diabetes management (2A); and IP pain management in the opioid epidemic (2B). For Workshops 2A and 2B, student perceptions of IPE were measured using the validated Students Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical Education Revised Version 2 and IP team care plans were assessed with a rubric. Five hundred twenty-seven students attended all four workshops and completed all surveys. Student perceptions of IPE and collaboration were significantly increased after completing the IPE Workshop Series. Most teams met or exceeded expectations on the diabetes team care plans for collaboration, addressing patient concerns, and gaps in care; however, most teams needed improvement on addressing additional workup and management. The pain management team care plans were below expectations for most teams.

Discussion

Student perceptions of IP collaboration increased and were maintained longitudinally indicating a positive impact on this IPE outcome; however, performance on team care plans did not meet faculty expectations suggesting areas for improvement in the design and evaluation for this outcome.

Implications

These findings reinforce the importance of evaluation to ensure IPE curricula are achieving IP outcomes, notably, utilizing validated instruments and incorporating faculty assessments that are appropriately leveled for learners.

针对临床前和执业前卫生专业学生的跨专业教育研讨会系列的设计和评估

背景

跨专业教育 (IPE) 报告了多种设计和实施策略；然而，这些描述中的大多数都缺乏对跨专业 (IP) 结果的可靠评估。

跨专业教育活动

为八个卫生专业的临床前和预授权学生实施了 IPE 研讨会系列，包括四个会议：卫生专业人员的角色和责任 (1A)；患者安全简介 (1B)；IP 糖尿病管理 (2A)；阿片类药物流行中的 IP 疼痛管理 (2B)。对于研讨会 2A 和 2B，使用经过验证的学生对跨专业临床教育修订版第 2 版的看法来衡量学生对 IPE 的看法，并使用评分规则评估 IP 团队护理计划。五百二十七名学生参加了所有四个研讨会并完成了所有调查。完成 IPE 研讨会系列后，学生对 IPE 和协作的看法显着增加。大多数团队都达到或超出了糖尿病团队协作护理计划的期望，解决了患者的担忧，和护理方面的差距；然而，大多数团队需要改进处理额外的工作和管理。疼痛管理团队的护理计划低于大多数团队的预期。

讨论

学生对知识产权合作的看法增加并保持纵向，表明对这一 IPE 结果产生积极影响；然而，团队关怀计划的表现没有达到教师的期望，表明在设计和评估方面需要改进这一结果。

影响

这些发现强调了评估的重要性，以确保 IPE 课程实现知识产权成果，特别是利用经过验证的工具并结合适合学习者的教师评估。
