Research attention has been paid to providing evidence on undergraduate/pre-licensure health sciences students' interprofessional education competency requirements, placements, and attainment. Although interprofessional facilitator training has been identified as critical to interprofessional learner outcomes, scant research has examined student perceptions of valued facilitator competencies. This short report investigates students' views of important attributes for interprofessional facilitation using a cross-sectional observation-survey design. A survey was conducted in a pre-licensure sample of = 343 students (response rate 68%) from four health professions (nursing, midwifery, physical therapy, and occupational therapy). After completing a semester-long interprofessional education course, students completed a survey vis-à-vis rating the importance of interprofessional facilitator competency with regard to 25 abilities, 12 teacher profiles, and 10 characteristics. Taken together, results indicate the need for a multifaceted view of interprofessional facilitator competencies. Our findings will inform training targeted to specific facilitator competencies, as needed for optimizing the delivery of interprofessional education.
研究关注为本科/执业前卫生科学学生的跨专业教育能力要求、实习和达标提供证据。尽管已经确定跨专业协调员培训对于跨专业学习者的成果至关重要，但很少有研究探讨学生对有价值的协调员能力的看法。本简短报告使用横断面观察调查设计，调查了学生对跨专业促进的重要属性的看法。在来自四个健康专业（护理、助产学、物理治疗和职业治疗）的 = 343 名学生（响应率为 68%）的执业前样本中进行了一项调查。学生在完成一个学期的跨专业教育课程后，完成了一项关于 25 项能力、12 个教师形象和 10 个特征的跨专业协调员能力重要性的调查。综合来看，结果表明需要对跨专业协调员能力进行多方面的评估。我们的研究结果将为培训提供信息，针对特定的协调员能力进行培训，以优化跨专业教育的实施。
