“…Interprofessional education (IPE) is one way to meet the requirement to manage complex patients and to provide an age-friendly care in multiprofessional teams [ 5 ]. However, teaching is still mainly silo orientated [ 6 ]. Therefore, the clear desire for increased interprofessional cooperation among health care professionals from policymakers, teachers, researchers and students [ 7 , 8 ] should be better reflected both in practice and in the educational curricula [ 9 ] focusing on the clinical learning environments.…”

Background An ageing population leads up to increasing multi-morbidity and polypharmacy. This demands a comprehensive and interprofessional approach in meeting patients’ complex needs. This study describes graduate students’ experiences of working practice based in interprofessional teams with complex patients’ care needs in nursing homes. Method Students from advanced geriatric nursing, clinical nutrition, dentistry, medicine and pharmacy at the University of Oslo in Norway were assigned to groups to examine and develop a care plan for a nursing home patient during a course. Focus groups were used, 21 graduate students participating in four groups. Data were collected during spring 2018, were inductively analysed according to a thematic analysis method (Systematic Text Condensation). An analytical framework of co-ordination practices was applied to get an in-depth understanding of the data. Results Three themes were identified: 1) Complex patients as learning opportunities- an eye-opener for future interprofessional collaboration 2) A cobweb of relations, and 3) Structural facilitators for new collective knowledge. Graduate university students experienced interprofessional education (IPE) on complex patients in nursing homes as a comprehensive learning arena. Overall, different co-ordination practices for work organization among the students were identified. Conclusions IPE in nursing homes facilitated the students’ scope from a fragmented approach of the patients towards a relational and collaborative practice that can improve patient care and strengthen understanding of IPE. The study also demonstrated the need for preparatory teamwork training to gain maximum benefit from the experience. Something that can be organized by the education institutions in the form of a stepwise learning module and as an online pre-training course in interprofessional teamwork. Further, focusing on the need for well thought through processes of the activity by the institutions and the timing the practice component in students’ curricula. This could ensure that IPE is experienced more efficient by the students.

“…Public health and health education students and professionals should expand their collaborative knowledge and skills by participating in a variety of educational opportunities to obtain continuing education in the approach. Attending professional meetings to learn about and discuss interprofessional practices with those from other disciplines may also lead to more innovation in the field (Ryland, Akers, Gowland, & Malik, 2017).…”

Interprofessional education involves programs that foster the partnerships of two or more individuals studying different health professions, thus allowing students to learn with and about the other professions. The Interprofessional Education Collaborative Competencies were updated in 2016 with a threefold purpose that included a greater emphasis on population health, thereby encouraging the health professions who typically work on an individual level to broaden their understanding of the field of public health. In the professional preparation of public health professionals and health education specialists, both foundational competencies and areas of responsibility imply and/or explicitly state that public health professionals and health education specialists must be able to work with interprofessional teams. Interprofessional collaborative learning activities have been recommended to be offered early and often during health professions training. Not only do public health and health education students benefit from inclusion in these interprofessional education activities but other health professions students also benefit from exposure to public health students and population health concepts. Public health and health education have contributed to leadership in interprofessional education initiatives and are well-situated to lend population health expertise to improve health care delivery as well as population and patient health outcomes.

BackgroundAn ageing population leads up to increasing multi-morbidity and polypharmacy. This demands a comprehensive and interprofessional approach in meeting patients’ complex needs. This study describe graduate students’ experiences of working in interprofessional teams with complex patients’ care needs in nursing homes.MethodStudents from advanced geriatric nursing, clinical nutrition, dentistry, medicine and pharmacy at the University of K in Norway were joined to groups to examine and develop a care plan for a nursing home patient during a course. Focus groups were used, where 21 graduate students participated in four groups. Data were collected during spring 2018 and were inductively analysed according to a thematic analysis method (Systematic Text Condensation) and discussed using four previously proposed types of coordination practices. ResultsThree themes were identified: 1) Complex patients as learning opportunities- an eye-opener for future interprofessional collaboration 2) A cobweb of relations, and 3) Structural facilitators for new collective knowledge. Graduate university students experienced IPE on complex patients in nursing homes as a comprehensive learning arena.ConclusionsInterprofessional education in nursing homes disclose challenges and possibilities to develop the health care service for elderly patients with complex care needs. It is important to experience complex situations during professional education, even if frustrating, when students have the possibility to discuss difficulties with each other and the faculty. Educators can arrange their IPE activity to foster more collaborative practices and potentially increase learning outcomes.
