Interprofessional experiences and attitudes toward interprofessional health care teams among health sciences students.

This study examined how the interprofessional experience, including education and practice, affects graduate health science students' attitudes toward interprofessional practice in health care teams. Data were collected from 227 graduate students, using the Attitudes toward Health Care Teams (ATHCT) scale. Both social work and other health science students had positive attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration with regard to its ability to improve the quality of a patient's care.

Attitudes toward interprofessional health care teams scale: a confirmatory factor analysis.

The purpose of this study was to assess reliability and validity of the adapted "Attitudes Toward Health Care Teams Scale (ATHCTS)" with graduate professional students. Data using a cross-sectional design were collected from 288 graduate students who were enrolled at an urban professional university in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was run and it was found that a two-factor ATHCTS better represented the sample.
