Understanding how students' motivation plays a role in students' engagement and achievement is essential to optimize efforts to improve learning and instruction.

Article Synopsis
  • Interprofessional education (IPE) enhances collaborative learning by utilizing teams, yet has previously overlooked how team dynamics influence IPE outcomes.
  • This study employed social interdependence theory (SIT) to analyze the impact of students' interprofessional attitudes at both team and individual levels on collaboration outcomes in IPE activities.
  • Findings revealed that attitudes focused on "teamwork, roles, and responsibilities" are crucial for achieving better goal outcomes, team effectiveness, and overall performance in healthcare education settings.

The Students' Perceptions of Physician-Pharmacist Interprofessional Clinical Education and its revision (SPICE, SPICE-R) were designed to understand medicine and pharmacy students' perceptions of interprofessional education and collaborative practice in managing complex health problems. The SPICE-R authors, however, suggested for additional items for subscales "roles and responsibilities for collaborative care" and "patient outcomes from collaborative practice". We added two items and introduced SPICE-R3 to differentiate it from the 10-item SPICE-R2 and to adapt the scale to a wider range of healthcare members.

Students' attitudes toward interprofessional teamwork can be linked to successful interprofessional education. This points to the importance of identifying a scale that may be useful in keeping track of the change in students' attitudes over time. In response to this, using a combination of within- and between-network approaches to construct validity, we examined the psychometric acceptability of the Interprofessional Attitude Scale (IPAS) involving 274 Chinese healthcare and social care pre-licensure students in Hong Kong.
