Introduction: Collaboration between nurses and doctors is necessary for offering care to patients. Using team performance assessment tools and surveying them can be effective in promoting inter-professional collaboration, and the lack of a credible tool to assess inter-professional collaboration competency between the two groups is a major challenge in the healthcare sector. The present study aimed to translate and conduct a psychometric investigation on the inter-professional education collaboration (IPEC) tool for the students of medicine and nursing.
Methods: The present study was a cross-sectional one conducted as a psychometric investigation of the IPEC tool at the Iran University of Medical Sciences in 2022. The initial tool contained 42 items developed according to a 5-point Likert scale, which was translated into Persian with the consent of the original researcher. The validity index and the content validity ratio were investigated by a panel of 11 specialists in medical and clinical education, and its construct validity was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis. Also, the second population of the study included medical and nursing students of Iran University of Medical Sciences and simple random sampling method. Moreover, the reliability of the instrument was investigated using internal consistency, Cronbach's Alpha, and test-retest methods.
Results: Based on the indicators calculated to perform a psychometric investigation over the above tool, it had acceptable reliability and validity according to the specialists. The tool evaluates inter-professional collaboration competency between the students of medicine and nursing across four areas (values and ethics, roles and responsibilities, inter-professional communication, and team-based care and teamwork). Moreover, Cronbach's Alpha coefficient for the tool was determined at 0.84.
Conclusion: The results of the study showed that the above tool could evaluate inter-professional competency as a valid and reliable questionnaire, and its results could be utilized in planning and education.

Article Synopsis
- The WHO's Global Patient Safety Action Plan calls for radical, interprofessional approaches to enhance team-based patient safety training for healthcare professionals.
- This study aimed to explore how cardiovascular surgeons and nurses experience mutual support in collaboration within the intensive care unit at Hacettepe University through qualitative interviews.
- Findings identified six themes related to mutual support and effective collaboration, demonstrating that teamwork and trust among professionals can significantly improve patient safety and foster a positive working environment.
Background: The operating room environment demands high levels of teamwork and interprofessional collaboration, yet current training programs often lack sufficient opportunities to develop these essential skills. Few studies have explored the impact of Interprofessional Education (IPE) based on digital information technology in improving the collaboration and learning among newly enrolled medical staff in the operating room.
Objectives: This study aimed to design, implement, and evaluate a digital information technology-based IPE training program for newly enrolled medical staff in the operating room.
