Collaboration among various professions often faces barriers owing to divergent perspectives, priorities, and expertise shaped by distinct socialization processes. These differences can hinder effectiveness, efficiency, and workforce well-being. The Extended Professional Identity Theory (EPIT) addresses this issue by fostering an interprofessional identity without weakening professional identities.

- The study investigates how primary and social care professionals view interprofessional collaboration (IPC) in addressing malnutrition and sarcopenia among older adults living in the community.
- The qualitative research involved online focus groups that revealed key areas of focus, including the need for smooth information exchange, regular consultations, and better involvement of older adults in IPC.
- The findings suggest that effective IPC relies on a strong synergy between healthcare professionals, supportive infrastructure, and active participation from older adults to be successful.
Article Synopsis
- Research using the Extended Professional Identity Theory (EPIT) has positively linked interprofessional identity to collaboration and improved team outcomes, but no Turkish version of the measuring tool, the Extended Professional Identity Scale (EPIS), existed.
- This study aimed to create and validate the Turkish EPIS (EPIS-TR) by adapting it linguistically and testing its psychometric properties with 405 students from eight professions across four Turkish universities.
- The EPIS-TR demonstrated strong psychometric properties, with good reliability (internal consistency of .93) and construct validity, indicating it is effective in measuring interprofessional identity among various professions.
Interprofessional Education (IPE) as a preparatory stage for Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is overlooked in some low-and middle-income countries, including Indonesia. One of the driving forces behind IPC is the development of Interprofessional Identity (IPI), which has yet to be assessed in the Indonesian context. Our study aims were translating and culturally adapting the Extended Professional Identity Scale (EPIS) and confirming its construct validity.

Proper care of these patients involves multiple professionals which requires optimal interprofessional collaboration to provide the best possible support. Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) goes beyond multi-professional collaboration.

Extended professional identity theory provides clues by combining two psychological identity approaches. The aim of this study is to investigate whether interprofessional identity is a source for intrinsic motivation towards interprofessional collaboration related to wider group membership.

In this study, we aimed to compare interprofessional identity of dietitians and physiotherapists, as well as attitudes towards, facilitators and barriers for, and occurrence of interprofessional treatment of malnutrition and sarcopenia by both professions.
Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was distributed from December 4, 2021 until January 31, 2022 through an international online network platform for professionals (LinkedIn).
Objectives: As impact of literature concerning this subject is scarce, the objectives of this study were to assess whether the Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) is decreased in patients with painful temporomandibular disorders as compared to the HRQoL in the general population, and to evaluate to what extent pain duration affects HRQoL.
Methods: Data concerning physical and mental health were retrieved from patients with painful temporomandibular disorders. Assessment tools used were: the Mandibular Function Impairment Questionnaire (MFIQ), the Short-Form-36 (SF-36), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Schedule (HADS), and the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ).
