Abstract:
Purpose: : This study aimed to analyze the effectiveness of the interprofessional education (IPE) program for nursing and Health and Welfare students.
Methods: : This study used a quasi-experimental method (single group, before and after). The participants were 45 students from the nursing and Health and Welfare departments. Data were collected using a self-report questionnaire. Data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics, paired t-test using SPSS/WIN Statistics version 19.0.
Results: : After completing the IPE program, students’ readiness for interprofessional learning (t=4.76, p<.001), self-efficacy for interprofessional experimental learning (t=16.05, p<.001) and teamwork attitudes (t=5.59, p<.001) scores were significantly higher than before the program.
Conclusion: : The study results indicate that the IPE program for nursing and Health and Welfare students is effective in increasing their readiness for interprofessional learning, self-efficacy for interprofessional experimental learning and teamwork attitudes.
