Background: Effective interprofessional collaboration may positively impact clinical outcomes, patient satisfaction, and cost effectiveness. However, educational silos and discipline-specific socialization have reinforced each health profession’s independent values, attitudes, and problem-solving approaches.Methods and Findings: Students’ (N = 376) attitudes about teamwork were measured with the Interprofessional Attitudes Scale, Teamwork, Roles, and Responsibilities subscale using a pretest-posttest design. Experiential learning strategies and a case study approach were used to introduce students to the roles and responsibilities of the students’ disciplines. There was a positive mean difference in pretest-posttest measures (p < .001) with a moderate effect size (r = .27).Conclusions: Providing opportunities for pre-licensure health sciences students to understand the roles and responsibilities of other disciplines through IPE co-curricular learning can enhance positive attitudes toward teamwork.

Background: To deal with problem sarising from miscommunication between health professions,  good collaboration between health workers must beim proved through Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC). Improvementof IPC can bed one by introduc in go ther professions and collaboration systems  since education period in campus through Interprofessional Education (IPE). In health polytechnic, IPE still a newthing in academicstage, andstill not implementedwell. IPE culture must beimproved in health institution so that collaboration ability of the student will formed before they entranced work climate.  One formof IPE implementation can bed one through case study approach between students with different majors. Purpose: This study aims to explore benefits of students in participating in IPE with a case study approach. Methods: this study used a qualitative design with a phenomenological method approach. The sample used was 12 informantsobtained through purposive sampling method. The student who agreed to be informant in theresearch, was involved in IPE simulation through case study. Student divided into small group discussion consisted of different majors, i.enursing majors, nutrision ist majors and midwifery majors. After simulation finished, the studen tasked about their experienced during simulation activity. Result;  Through the maticanalysis , wefound 4 the mesaccording to experience during IPE simulation; Cooperation and mutual understanding between professions, Imporved Problem Solving and Team Decision Making Ability, enlarge scientific knowledgeandeliminating professional selfishness or egoism. Conclusion; IPE with a case study approach can provide great benefits in increasing the ability of students to collaborate between different majors in solving patient health problems so that their implementation needs to be improved in thepre-clinical stage and during clinical practice.

Abstract Background High-quality patient care is a complex phenomenon that requires collaboration among healthcare professionals. Research has shown that Interprofessional Education (IPE) carries promise to improve collaborative work and patient care. So far, collaboration among various health professionals remains a challenge. Very few focus group discussions to determine the medical students’ readiness and positive attitudes towards IPE have been reported from the Arabian context. Methods A two-staged sequential mixed methods study was conducted among medical, dental, pharmacy, and health sciences students of the University of Sharjah United Arab Emirates. The perspectives of students toward IPE and collaborative practice were first gathered by administering a validated instrument, Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS). This was followed by focused group discussions. A quantitative as well as a qualitative data analysis was performed. Results This study cohort included 282 students. All respondents showed readiness to adopt IPE as all statements of the RIPLS inventory scored high median scores. All participants showed positive attitudes and readiness towards IPE. Three main domains of themes were generated from focus group discussions; prior knowledge, need for IPE framework and its implementation. Information workload, lack of clarity and less focused teaching pedagogies of IPE were considered as perceived barriers. Conclusion This study demonstrated a substantial agreement of medical and health sciences students towards readiness and perceived effectiveness of IPE. Educators are urged to embed new IPE programs into existing curricular frameworks, which can potentially enhance collaborative learning and improve quality of patient care.

Abstract: This article aims to reveal the media and learning strategies at SekolahLuar Biasa (SLB) Putera Asih Kediri. Education is something important for everyIndonesian citizen. It does not distinguish between gender, ethnicity, race, culture,religion, even for children with special needs (Anak Berkebutuhan Khusus/ABK).However, the media and learning strategies used by the teacher in an extraordinaryschool (SLB) are certainly different from the teachers in public schools. This articlewas written according to a qualitative research that used a case study approach toreveal the implementation of PBL in SLB Putera Asih Kediri. This article concludethat every school needs creative teachers to use media and learning strategi es. Forthis reason, it is expected that each young generation can utilize media and learningstrategies that are appropriate to the needs of the students. PBL is very relevantwith the needs of ABK in SLB because it can be combined with the teacheroriented study. PBL can be used as an alternative learning strategy to increase theunderstanding of ABK, so they can solve their daily problems

Background: Regional medical campuses are often challenged with providing effective interprofessional education (IPE) opportunities for medical students that are comparable to those at main campuses. At distributed teaching sites, there is often less IPE infrastructure and fewer learners of other health professions. On the other hand, distributed medical education (DME) settings often have community-based clinical environments and fewer medical students, which can provide unique opportunities for IPE curriculum innovation.Methods: At the Niagara Regional Campus (NRC) of McMaster University, the Horizontal Elective for Interprofessional Growth & Healthcare Team ENhancement (HEIGHTEN) was developed to provide first-year medical students the opportunity to learn from and work alongside nurses in a community hospital. This study assesses HEIGHTEN’s impact on students’ knowledge, confidence, and attitudes towards interprofessional care, as well as student satisfaction with the learning experience using a mixed methods evaluation.Results: Findings suggest that HEIGHTEN provided an enjoyable learning experience, fostered positive interprofessional attitudes and an appreciation for the nursing role. Voluntary participation by medical students was high and increased both within the regional campus and with students from other campuses travelling to participate.Conclusion: This model for IPE can be feasibly replicated by distributed teaching sites to provide medical students with hands-on, experiential learning early in training, leading to positive attitudes and behaviours supporting interprofessional collaboration (IPC).

The purpose of this paper is to examine and identify the problems that are the source of conflict over local elections in Talaga Raya District. This research focuses on conflicts that occur before and after local elections. By using a descriptive method and a case study approach, the results of the study showed that the conflict over the regional head election in Talaga Raya District originated from the Difference in Choice, Misunderstanding, Some Parties were disadvantaged and feeling sensitive. In addition, the conflict of local election which took place before and after the election had implications for the conflict over the control of fresh water sources which resulted in horizontal and vertical conflicts. Besides this conflict has also brought its own wisdom with the increase in the source of clean water which had only been one to three sources. Based on these results it can be said that besides bringing down the negative impacts of the conflict it can also bring down positive impacts in the Talaga Raya sub-district community. Therefore, in terms of conflict resolution, the government should be able to minimize the conflict as early as possible so it does not drag on so that it does not lead to physical conflict.

The Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) has published guidelines to promote interprofessional collaboration. These guidelines are encompassed in four core competency sets. The core competencies are: Core 1: Value/Ethics, Core 2: Roles and Responsibilities, Core 3: Interprofessional Communication and Core 4: Teams and Teamwork. IPEC has outlined sub-competencies for each, which can be interpreted as a compilation of principles, behaviors, precepts and competencies. Together they serve to promote direction for interprofessional collaboration amongst health care professionals. However, the compilation may need more explanation to guide education and practice. Though the sub-competencies described in each core overlap in their application, specifically, Core 2: Roles and Responsibilities is explored for its underpinnings. The literature to date reflects educational delivery modes, but specific content is sparse, and not in the totality of the representative sub-competencies. Much of the literature omits the background that creates the context, and the content for, our deeper understanding of the principles. Therefore, important information is missing that underpins the competency statement set to teach and to learn these sub-competencies. The aim was to identify principles and applicable content to both support learning and to address barriers to learning, which may be essential to implement the sub-competency statements. The sub-competencies independent of further elucidation are unlikely to yield the comprehension needed for implementation and discernible actions that prompt interprofessional collaborative success.

ObjectivesTo investigate nursing and medical students’ readiness for interprofessional learning before and after implementing geriatric interprofessional education (IPE), based on problem-based learning (PBL) case scenarios. To define the optimal number of geriatric IPE sessions, the size and the ratio of participants from each profession in the learner groups, the outcomes related to the Kirkpatrick four-level typology of learning evaluation, students’ concerns about joint learning and impact of geriatric IPE on these concerns. The study looked at the perception of roles and expertise of the ‘other’ profession in interprofessional teams, and students’ choice of topics for future sessions. Students’ expectations, experience, learning points and the influence on the understanding of IP collaboration, as well as their readiness to participate in such education again were investigated.DesignA controlled before–after study (2014/2015, 2015/2016) with data collected immediately before and after the intervention period. Study includes additional comparison of the results from the intervention with a control group of students. Outcomes were determined with a validated ‘Readiness for Interprofessional Learning’ questionnaire, to which we added questions with free comments, combining quantitative and qualitative research methods. The teaching sessions were facilitated by experienced practitioners/educators, so each group had both, a clinician (either geratology consultant or registrar) and a senior nurse.Participants300 medical, 150 nursing students.SettingTertiary care university teaching hospital.ResultsAnalysis of the returned forms in the intervention group had shown that nursing students scored higher on teamwork and collaboration post-IPE (M=40.78, SD=4.05) than pre-IPE (M=34.59, SD=10.36)—statistically significant. On negative professional identity, they scored lower post-IPE (M=7.21, SD=4.2) than pre-IPE (M=8.46, SD=4.1)—statistically significant. The higher score on positive professional identity post-IPE (M=16.43, SD=2.76) than pre-IPE (M=14.32, SD=4.59) was also statistically significant. Likewise, the lower score on roles and responsibilities post-IPE (M=5.41, SD=1.63) than pre-IPE (M=6.84, SD=2.75).Medical students scored higher on teamwork and collaboration post-IPE (M=36.66, SD=5.1) than pre-IPE (M=32.68, SD=7.4)—statistically significant. Higher positive professional identity post-IPE (M=14.3, SD=3.2) than pre-IPE (M=13.1, SD=4.31)—statistically significant. The lower negative professional identity post-IPE (M=7.6, SD=3.17) than pre-IPE (M=8.36, SD=2.91) was not statistically significant. Nor was the post-IPE difference over roles and responsibilities (M=7.4, SD=1.85), pre-IPE (M=7.85, SD=2.1).In the control group, medical students scored higher for teamwork and collaboration post-IPE (M=36.07, SD=3.8) than pre-IPE (M=33.95, SD=3.37)—statistically significant, same for positive professional identity post-IPE (M=13.74, SD=2.64), pre-IPE (M=12.8, SD=2.29), while negative professional identity post-IPE (M=8.48, SD=2.52), pre-IPE (M=9, SD=2.07), and roles and responsibilities post-IPE (M=7.89, SD=1.69), pre-IPE (M=7.91, SD=1.51) shown no statistically significant differences. Student concerns, enhanced understanding of collaboration and readiness for future joint work were addressed, but not understanding of roles.ConclusionsEducators with nursing and medical backgrounds delivered geriatric IPE through case-based PBL. The optimal learner group size was determined. The equal numbers of participants from each profession for successful IPE are not necessary. The IPE delivered by clinicians and senior nurses had an overall positive impact on all participants, but more markedly on nursing students. Surprisingly, it had the same impact on medical students regardless if it was delivered to the mixed groups with nursing students, or to medical students alone. Teaching successfully addressed students’ concerns about joint learning and communication and ethics were most commonly suggested topics for the future.

Speech-language pathologists and audiologists often share roles and responsibilities with other professionals as they contribute to the health and wellness of clients/patients in educational and medical settings. Emerging changes in the educational and health care landscapes in the United States are increasing the demand for interprofessional collaboration to improve treatment outcomes. Programs in Communication Sciences and Disorders need to be responsive to health care and educational reforms and expose students to collaborative learning opportunities with those outside their professions. This introductory-level article reviews terminology and concepts related to two approaches to training tomorrow's clinicians today, Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Interprofessional Collaborative Practice (IPP). The article also discusses the challenges and opportunities related to IPE and IPP, and makes a call to action for both approaches to address educational and health care changes in the United States.
