The Effect of Contect, Input and Process in Achieving Interprofessional Communication and Teamwork Competences

Abstract

Background: Interprofessional Education (IPE) is a process occurs when students from two or more professions learn about and from each other to enable effective collaboration and improve health outcomes. Faculty initiated the IPE program called Community and Family Health Care - interprofessional Education (CFHC-IPE) that began in 2013 with the aim to build the capacity of community, family medicine and interprofesional. This study aims to evaluate the effect of context, input and process towards the achievement of interprofessional competences.Method: This study was a qualitative research design using a case study evaluation Context-Input-Process-Product (CIPP). Respondents of this study are five-IPE CFHC managers, three heads of study program, 10 lecturers and 35 students from PSPD, PSIK and PSGK. Data collected through FGD, in-depth interviews and document analysis. FGD and in-depth interviews conducted using an interview guide while document analysis carried out on the grand design CFHC-IPE. Results: Context evaluation shows that the needs assessment has not been carried out. Input evaluation shows that the preparation of the grand design CFHC-IPE is not align and debriefing facilitators need to be added. There were gaps in the implementation of learning activities and assessment and program monitoring was inadequate. IPE competencies in the first year on the student of 2014 were not achieved. Conclusion: Inter-professional communication and teamwork competence on student of class 2014 at CFHC-IPE program in the first year was not achieved and influenced by the weaknesses in the content, inputs and processes aspects.

Community-based educational design for undergraduate medical education: a grounded theory study

“…However, the impact of the CBE program may be less than expected, mainly if there are a lack of teachers who could facilitate the students to reflect on primary health care contexts [18]. Literature suggests that a clinical educator is a clinician who is advance in clinical practice, enthusiastically ‘putting theories into medical education practice’, and involve in research-based services [19].…”

How do medical students learn in an online community diagnostics program?

“…On the other hand, while community-based medical education (CBME) frameworks for understanding communities suggest opportunities for small group activities ranging from simple to complex learning, they often remain limited to general educational principles such as experiential learning, transformative learning, and feedback [ 37 ]. Even if CBME is implemented based on the principles of these educational theories, the impact on medical students' learning may be less than that expected if faculty lack understanding of education in this particular practice field [ 38 ]. In particular, physicians working in primary care settings are often entrusted with the education of medical students without adequate preparation in undergraduate medical education [ 39 ].…”
