Abstract

Background: Studies demonstrate that interprofessional education (IPE) enhances knowledge, skills, and attitudes across healthcare disciplines and improves patient-centered outcomes. Objectives: the aim of this study was to evaluate the feasibility and acceptability of the IPE curriculum among healthcare professionals.

Methods: The study was operation research using a posttest-evaluation design of an institution-wide IPE curriculum that was conducted at purposefully selected hospitals affiliated with MOHP. The study included 62 participants of health care providers. Nearly half of the participants (46.8%) were clinical pharmacists, 32.3% were critical care physicians and 21% were high nurses.

Results: Clinical pharmacists demonstrate higher percentages in the pass score with statistically significant differences than high nurses and critical care physicians in module 1. The trainees showed positive perceptions of participants for IPE. The male participants and high nurses show higher mean total scores of IPE with no statistical significance difference. However, the participants of the curative sectors and institutions get higher mean total scores of IPE that are statistically significant than other workplaces.

Conclusions: The high knowledge score post-intervention and positive perceptions of participants for IPE in our study solidify the extra benefit for IPE programs to be used by healthcare professionals more widely. This study endeavored to document a successful model of IPE implementation that could be replicated in other contexts. This may open the door for decision-makers and medical educators in Egypt to recognize the pressing need to start interprofessional education for healthcare practitioners early in undergraduate programs to improve the quality of patient care.
