Effective interprofessional collaboration is a required competency for all health professionals including physiotherapists. Little is known about new graduate physiotherapists' self-efficacy and readiness for interprofessional collaboration. A sequential mixed-methods design was used to examine and explore (a) new graduate self-efficacy and (b) new graduate perception of the role and influence of curricular activities on their readiness for interprofessional collaboration. New graduate physiotherapists completed a self-efficacy measure based on the Interprofessional Care Core Competencies Global Rating Scales, and semi-structured interviews were undertaken and subjected to framework analysis. 150 surveys were completed (response rate 91%). Less than one quarter of all participants or that they were confident in relation to all interprofessional competencies. New graduates attributed their self-efficacy to being directly exposed to interprofessional collaboration in a clinical setting during their placement year. The results demonstrate that new graduate physiotherapists have high self-efficacy communicating with other professionals and understanding their roles, however they have low self-efficacy with interprofessional conflict resolution and providing feedback to others. This study has implications for supporting new graduates in practice, and for preparing physiotherapy students for interprofessional collaboration.
有效的跨专业合作是所有医疗保健专业人员（包括物理治疗师）必备的能力。对于新毕业的物理治疗师的自我效能感和对跨专业合作的准备情况，我们知之甚少。本研究采用序贯混合方法设计，从（a）新毕业的自我效能感和（b）新毕业的感知作用和课程活动对其跨专业合作准备情况的影响两个方面进行了检查和探讨。新毕业的物理治疗师完成了基于跨专业护理核心能力全球评定量表的自我效能感测量，同时进行了半结构化访谈，并进行了框架分析。共完成了 150 份调查问卷（回应率为 91%）。不到四分之一的参与者表示他们对所有跨专业能力都有信心。新毕业生将他们的自我效能感归因于在实习期间在临床环境中直接接触跨专业合作。研究结果表明，新毕业的物理治疗师在与其他专业人员交流和理解他们的角色方面具有很高的自我效能感，但在处理跨专业冲突和向他人提供反馈方面的自我效能感较低。这项研究对支持新毕业的物理治疗师在实践中的发展以及为物理治疗学生做好跨专业合作准备具有重要意义。
