The Impact of Structured Inter-professional Education on Health Care Professional Students' Perceptions of Collaboration in a Clinical Setting

Abstract: Purpose: To examine how a structured inter-professional education (IPE) clinical placement influences health care professional (HCP) students' perceptions of inter-professional collaboration (IPC) relative to that of students in a traditional clinical placement. Methods: This study used a mixed-methods design. The Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale (IEPS) was administered to HCP students (n ¼ 36) in two Toronto hospitals before and after a structured 5-week IPE clinical placement to examine changes i… Show more

“…Although the survey was administered to a student body that had been exposed to very few formal IPE experiences, the responses to many of the survey items showed very favorable attitudes towards interprofessionalism. This “ceiling effect”, which is also seen in other scales such as the RIPLS and IEPS, 17 can make it difficult to detect changes in interprofessional atttitudes in longitudinal studies. This effect suggests that some restructuring of items and response format may be needed to encourage a wider range of responses, such as using a 100-point slider bar instead of a traditional five-level Likert scale.…”

“…Findings suggest that structured interprofessional education clinical placements may provide students with valuable collaborative learning opportunities, enhanced respect for other professionals, and insight into the value of interprofessional collaboration in health care delivery. 24 The results of another study, conducted by the American Medical Association to evaluate changes in practice behaviors, suggest that a well-designed education intervention can enhance health professionals' confidence and clinical practice. 25 However, not all types of trainings have the same outcomes for all participants, although most training still received high evaluations.…”
