As the value of interprofessional practice becomes increasingly recognized, it is critical to educate social work students so that they understand the importance of interprofessional practice, and the role that social workers play. The objective of this research was to understand social work students' experiences, attitudes, and perspectives toward interprofessional practice. A cross-sectional, non-probability convenience sample was used (N = 125), with data collected from students in a large school of social work in New York State in order to understand their experiences in the field and classroom. Results of a linear regression showed that overall, students had positive perspectives on interprofessional collaboration, with one of the strongest predictors being students' positive attitudes toward interprofessional practice. The results also point to students having limited experience in working in interprofessional teams and exposure to training, either on the job or in the classroom. To help students gain more experience and training, fieldwork opportunities in interprofessional practice can be expanded, and more courses can be offered, particularly collaborating with other academic disciplines.
随着跨专业实践的价值日益得到认可，对社会工作学生进行教育至关重要，以使他们了解跨专业实践的重要性以及社会工作者所扮演的角色。本研究的目的是了解社会工作学生对跨专业实践的经验、态度和看法。采用了横断面、非概率方便抽样（N=125），从纽约州一所大型社会工作学校的学生那里收集数据，以了解他们在实地和课堂上的经验。线性回归的结果表明，总体而言，学生对跨专业合作持积极的看法，其中最强的预测因素之一是学生对跨专业实践的积极态度。结果还表明，学生在跨专业团队中工作和接受培训的经验有限，无论是在职还是在课堂上。为了帮助学生获得更多的经验和培训，可以扩大实习机会，并提供更多课程，特别是与其他学术学科合作。
