“…It is also utilised to guide research designs and data analyses, specifically those that use mixed method and qualitative methodologies. For example, using a sociomaterial lens can enhance the interpretation of cohort studies using standardised tools such as the Collaborative Practice Assessment Tool-Revised (Sy et al, 2019 ). While we recognise that conflict and resistance drawn from the existence of professional hierarchies and silos are inevitable, utilising a sociomaterial lens can help IPE and IPC scholars and practitioners to deconstruct the ‘why’ and the true meaning of interprofessionalism within specific health care contexts.…”

Learning and working together towards better health outcomes today have become more complex requiring an investigation on how interprofessional education (IPE) and interprofessional collaboration (IPC) practices could be sustained and further developed. Through a sociomaterial perspective, we can better understand IPE and IPC practices by foregrounding the material aspect of learning and working together and examining its relationship with humans and their interactions. This article aimed to examine existing literature that discusses the application of sociomaterial perspectives in IPE and IPC. A scoping review was conducted following Arksey and O’Malley’s framework to explore the extent within the current body of knowledge that discuss how sociomaterial perspective is applied in IPE and IPC practices. A systematic database search was performed in September 2021 to retrieve literature published from 2007 onwards, with forty-three papers meeting the inclusion criteria. These papers included research articles, book chapters, conference papers and commentaries, with the majority originating from Europe. The thematic analysis revealed the following themes: (1) power as a sociomaterial entity shaping IPE and IPC; (2) inclusion of non-health professionals in reimagining IPE and IPC practices, and (3) the critical understanding of sociomateriality. The findings suggest that a sociomaterial perspective can allow for the reimagination of the contemporary and future practices of interprofessionalism.

“…This step was found to be significant as numerous IPEC studies have highlighted how administrative support remains to be a major facilitator for successful IPEC programs worldwide. [6][7][8][9][10] The MOU specified the obligations of each university which included the technical, logistical, and financial concerns for the conference. Moreover, the steering committee had an open dialogue with the administrators from the host university (UST) to further discuss and clarify matters concerning the PhIPEC 2018 conference.…”

“…5 Locally, published works on IPEC started with the pilot implementation of IPE in a community-academe partnership towards community health development, 5 followed by an interprofessional approach used for infection control in hospitals in Manila, 6 and the survey studies on IPEC among Filipino occupational therapists, physical therapists, and speech-language pathologists 7 and Filipino mental health professionals. 8 While IPEC researches and activities are continually being explored in the Philippines, studies and programs are conducted independently by universities and organizations without parallel discussions and sustainable long-term plans related to the National Unified Health Research Agenda by Department of Science and Technology and the National Higher Education Research Agenda by CHED. One way of addressing this is to gather people from higher education institutions, professional organizations, and communities to conduct formal IPEC training, improve practice guidelines in health and social care, and streamline research and policy initiatives.…”

The Philippine Interprofessional Education and Collaboration (PhIPEC) Conference is the first-ever national program held in the Philippines on interprofessional education and collaboration (IPEC). This project, initiated through an inter-university partnership between University of Santo Tomas and Angeles University Foundation, aimed to facilitate uniform understanding of IPEC across higher education institutions and health facilities as well as to instigate IPEC related researches in the country. The two-day conference was able to gather over 80 participants from more than 10 health and social care professions and 15 speakers who shared their expertise in health education and practice. Aside from these, the initiative has also gathered more than 500 followings in Facebook Page and 161 members in the mailing list. With the turn-out of this initiative, there was a move to rename the group into PhIPEC Network. The network has been agreed upon to serve as an informal entity that represents a collective of Filipino health and social care professionals towards advocating collaborative learning and health care services. Future directions were also determined focused on considering IPEC initiatives in education, practice, research, and policies.

Interprofessional collaboration and barriers among health and social workers caring for older adults: a Philippine case study

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background There is limited information on how the barriers to interprofessional collaboration (IPC) across various professionals, organizations, and care facilities influence the health and welfare of older adults. This study aimed to describe the status of IPC practices among health and social workers providing care for older adults in the Philippines; investigate the perceived barriers to its implementation and perceived effects on geriatric care; and identify possible solutions to address the barriers limiting collaborative practice. Methods A case study approach was utilized employing 12 semi-structured in-depth interviews and 29 focus group discussions with care workers from selected primary health care units, public and private hospitals, and nursing homes that are directly involved in geriatric care delivery in two cities in the Philippines. Overall, 174 health and social workers consented to participate in this study. All interviews were audio-recorded and transcribed verbatim. An inductive thematic analysis using NVivo 12® was used to identify and categorize relevant thematic codes. Results Interprofessional geriatric care provided by health and social workers was observed to be currently limited to ad hoc communications typically addressing only administrative concerns. This limitation is imposed by a confluence of barriers such as personal values and beliefs, organizational resource constraints, and a silo system care culture which practitioners say negatively influences care delivery. This in turn results in inability of care providers to access adequate care information, as well as delays and renders inaccessible available care provided to vulnerable older adults. Uncoordinated care of older adults also led to reported inefficient duplication and overlap of interventions. Conclusion Geriatric care workers fear such barriers may aggravate the increasing unmet needs of older adults. In order to address these potential negative outcomes, establishing a clear and committed system of governance that includes IPC is perceived as necessary to install a cohesive service delivery mechanism and provide holistic care for older adults. Future studies are needed to measure the effects of identified barriers on the potential of IPC to facilitate an integrated health and social service delivery system for the improvement of quality of life of older adults in the Philippines.
