To prepare for the modern collaborative healthcare system, health science academia is charged with educating future professionals to be competent members of the interprofessional team. The purpose of this pilot study was to assess self-efficacy for interprofessional education (IPE) in medical laboratory technology, dental hygiene, and nursing students before and after an IPE session. The specific topic of ethics was the focus of the session. The interprofessional seminar was designed to compare the codes of ethics from each programme through discussion and a case-based approach. The Self-Efficacy for Interprofessional Experiential Learning scale was used to collect quantitative data. A total of 75 participants rated self-efficacy for IPE before and after the educational offering. A paired sample t-test was used to analyse data. Significant results were found in students' pre- and post-test scores that indicated increased levels of self-efficacy related to working as a collaborative team for the benefit of the patient. Overall, there was an increase in participants' self-efficacy after collaborating with students from different health professions programmes. Healthcare students that learn together are more confident in their abilities to implement a team-structured approach, and understand that doing so will foster optimal patient wellbeing.
为了筹备现代协作式医疗系统，健康科学学术界肩负着教育未来专业人员，使其成为跨专业团队中称职成员的重任。这项试点研究的目的是评估医学检验技术、口腔卫生和护理专业学生在跨专业教育（IPE）课程前后的跨专业教育自我效能感。课程的重点是伦理这一特定主题。跨专业研讨会旨在通过讨论和基于案例的方法，比较各专业的伦理准则。使用跨专业体验式学习自我效能量表收集定量数据。共有75名参与者在教育课程前后对IPE自我效能感进行了评分。采用配对样本t检验分析数据。在学生的测试前和测试后分数中发现了显著结果，表明与作为协作团队为患者谋福利相关的自我效能感水平有所提高。总体而言，与来自不同健康专业课程的学生合作后，参与者的自我效能感有所增强。一起学习医疗保健知识的学生对实施团队结构化方法的能力更有信心，并明白这样做将促进患者的最佳健康状况。
