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.
Article Synopsis
- - This study explored what makes some teams successful in interprofessional education (IPE) programs, particularly in managing complex health issues, by comparing high-performing and low-performing teams.
- - Ten high-performing and seven low-performing teams were analyzed, focusing on their attitudes and achievements regarding teamwork, patient-centeredness, and diversity, with autonomous motivation playing a crucial role in team membership.
- - Findings indicated that successful teams valued collaboration and ethical practices more highly, and that being autonomously motivated influenced their group membership, thus highlighting the importance of motivation in team dynamics.
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.
