Interprofessional education (IPE) offers a possible way to improve interprofessional collaboration and patient care. Current research addressing the effectiveness of IPE in dementia care is limited. A protocol is described for a systematic review to investigate the evidence for the influence of IPE on collaborative knowledge and skills; interprofessional practice and the delivery of dementia care.
We will search the following electronic databases: PubMed, EMBASE, The Cochrane Library, PsycINFO CINAHL, Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts (ASSIA), ERIC British Education Index (BEI) and the Healthcare Management Information Consortium (HMIC). Additional studies will be identified by manually searching relevant journals and the reference list of selected studies. The selection of the studies, data collection and quality appraisal will be performed independently by two reviewers. Data will be initially analysed through a narrative synthesis method. If a subset of data we analyse appears comparable, we will investigate the possibility of pooling such data via formal meta-analysis analytical techniques.
Ethics approval will not be required as this is a protocol for a systematic review. This systematic review aims to establish the effectiveness of IPE programmes on collaborative professional practice and the delivery of care for people with dementia. The findings of this systematic review may also identify specific gaps in the evidence informing a future agenda for research, policy and practice. It will be published in a peer-reviewed journal.

跨专业教育（IPE）为改善跨专业协作及患者护理提供了一种可行途径。目前关于IPE在痴呆症护理中有效性的研究有限。本文描述了一项系统评价的方案，以调查IPE对协作知识与技能、跨专业实践及痴呆症护理提供方面影响的证据。
我们将检索以下电子数据库：PubMed、EMBASE、Cochrane图书馆、PsycINFO、CINAHL、应用社会科学索引与摘要数据库（ASSIA）、教育资源信息中心（ERIC）、英国教育索引（BEI）以及医疗保健管理信息联盟（HMIC）。通过手动检索相关期刊及所选研究的参考文献列表来识别其他研究。研究的筛选、数据收集及质量评估将由两名评审员独立进行。数据最初将通过叙述性综合方法进行分析。如果我们分析的数据子集看起来具有可比性，我们将研究通过正式荟萃分析技术合并此类数据的可能性。
由于这是一项系统评价的方案，无需伦理批准。本系统评价旨在确定IPE项目在跨专业协作实践及为痴呆症患者提供护理方面的有效性。本系统评价结果还可能识别出证据中的特定差距，为未来研究、政策及实践议程提供参考。研究结果将发表在同行评审期刊上。
