Abstract

Interprofessional education (IPE) has received increasingly more attention over recent years. The objectives of this study were to assess 1) how nursing students' considerations concerning their own oral health and oral health-related knowledge changed from before to after experiencing IPE; 2) how nursing students', dental students', and pediatric dentistry residents' IPE-related attitudes and Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) scores changed after experiencing an IPE rotation; and 3) how these groups' attitudes and RIPLS scores were related. Data were collected from three groups who participated in an IPE rotation: thirty-eight of forty third-year dental students (95 percent response rate), all thirty-three nursing students (100 percent), and all six pediatric dentistry residents (100 percent) prior to the rotation, and 100 percent of each group after the rotation. As a control group, data were also collected at the beginning of the winter term from first-year dental students (104 out of 105; 99 percent response rate) and second-year dental students (102 out of 116; 88 percent); the same groups were surveyed at the end of term, with response rates of 98 percent for first-year students and 89 percent for second-year students. After the rotation, the nursing students' tooth brushing frequency increased, and their comfort level with dental visits and oral health-related knowledge improved. The dental students rated the importance of nurses' having oral health-related knowledge and skills lower than did the nursing students and pediatric dentistry residents. The groups' RIPLS scores correlated with these importance ratings. Overall, while the nursing students showed positive responses to IPE, the dental students' attitudes and RIPLS scores did not change as a result of the IPE experience. Future research should explore the conditions under which dental students are impacted by IPE.

摘要

近年来，跨专业教育（IPE）受到了越来越多的关注。本研究的目的是评估：1）护理学生在经历 IPE 前后，对自身口腔健康和口腔健康相关知识的考虑有何变化；2）护理学生、牙科学生和儿童牙科住院医师在经历 IPE 轮转后，其与 IPE 相关的态度和跨专业学习准备量表（RIPLS）评分有何变化；3）这些群体的态度和 RIPLS 评分之间的关系。研究数据来自三组参与 IPE 轮转的人员：三十八个三年级牙科学生（95%的回应率）、所有三十三个护理学生（100%）和所有六个儿童牙科住院医师（100%）在轮转前，以及轮转后每个组的 100%。作为对照组，还在冬季学期开始时从一年级牙科学生（104 人中有 105 人，99%的回应率）和二年级牙科学生（116 人中有 102 人，88%）中收集数据；同一组在学期末进行调查，一年级学生的回应率为 98%，二年级学生的回应率为 89%。轮转后，护理学生刷牙频率增加，对看牙医和口腔健康相关知识的舒适度提高。牙科学生对护士具备口腔健康相关知识和技能的重要性评价低于护理学生和儿童牙科住院医师。这些群体的 RIPLS 评分与这些重要性评价相关。总体而言，虽然护理学生对 IPE 表现出积极的反应，但牙科学生的态度和 RIPLS 评分并未因 IPE 经历而改变。未来的研究应探讨在何种条件下，牙科学生受到 IPE 的影响。
