The relationship between interprofessional education experience and perceptions, values, and attitudes towards interprofessional collaboration in dietetics practice

Interprofessional Competency Frameworks in Health to Inform Curricula Development: Integrative Review

“…Indeed, the WHO (2010) has been making recommendations since 2010, referring that IPE is key to guarantee that health students of today work as collaborative health professionals tomorrow, moving health systems from DOI: https://doi.org/10.36367/ntqr.6.2021.63-71 fragmentation to a strengthened position through sharing case management and providing better services to the community. This positive interaction is identified in the literature as interprofessional collaborative practice, where multiple health care workers, each one with different professional backgrounds, work together with patients to deliver the finest quality of care (Interprofessional Education Collaborative Expert Panel, 2011;Stadick, 2020). Several systematic reviews corroborate this perspective, describing positive outcomes in collaboration, team behaviour, mortality rates, error rates, patient length of stay, among others (Kent et al, 2018;Reeves et al, 2013;Reeves et al, 2016).…”

“…Despite policy advances, it is recognized that students are still educated in silos, which makes them reluctant to overcome challenges when working with other health care professionals, causing patient safety concerns and dissatisfaction towards interprofessional cooperation (Stadick, 2020;Verapen & Purkis, 2019). IPE intends to break professional barriers and create cohesion in the multidisciplinary team, in a personcentered paradigm.…”

“…This positive change supports research that demonstrates exposure to IPE increases the ability to work as a team and increases the value of working as a team member. [6][7][8][9][10] Additionally, there was a change in negative professional identity, indicating that the exposure to the IPE activities had a positive impact on respondents' identity.…”

“…Research has demonstrated positive outcomes when students are exposed to IPE concepts, particularly in the areas of understanding their own roles and responsibilities as health care professionals functioning within a team. [6][7][8][9][10] In addition, students gain awareness and understanding of the roles and responsibilities of other health care professionals, and there has been a positive increase in the communication that transpires among professionals because of IPE.…”

“…14 Many of these studies have reported an improvement in students' understanding of their individual professional roles and identities, the roles and identities of other health care professionals, and have improved their perceived value of interprofessional collaboration and education. [6][7][8][9][10] However, much of the prior work has targeted health care students or professionals in occupational therapy, physical therapy, physician assistants, and nursing. Athletic trainers serve as frontline health care workers providing services for athletic competitions and practices.…”
