Although widely endorsed and employed, there has been little research using validated and reliable instruments to evaluate the effectiveness of IPE in reaching established objectives, specifically improving attitudes toward other health professionals and readiness to learn interprofessionally.Methods: Multiple cohorts of students that participated in IPE were evaluated. The sample consisted of medical, nursing, pharmacy, physical therapy, respiratory therapy, medical technology, dietetic, and social work students. This study consisted of two parts. The first was a retrospective survey study pre/post-IPE. The second was a prospective static comparison of medical students 2-3 years post-IPE and a set of controls who had not taken IPE. Student attitudes were evaluated using the Attitudes To Health Professional Questionnaire (AHPQ), the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS), and subjective course evaluations.Results: Students generally showed an improvement in attitudes toward other professions and viewed other professions as more Caring and less Subservient following IPE. Students also demonstrated improved readiness to interprofessional learning. Overall students enjoyed the IPE experience. Readiness diminished 2-3 years after completing IPE. Students who had participated in IPE still demonstrated greater readiness than controls.Conclusion: This study demonstrates widespread benefits of IPE in improving readiness to interprofessional education and attitudes toward other health professionals. More research is needed to investigate if these results can be replicated in non-self selected populations and whether IPE effects interprofessional collaboration and ultimately patient care. 2013-08-26 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1367415484 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1367415484 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
