Inter Professional Education and Collaboration (IPEC) is grounded on mutual respect, enhances collaborative practice, and increases satisfaction among health care professionals.
The study was conducted to assess the level of knowledge and readiness for IPEC among nursing students.
The student's level of knowledge was assessed using a 20 item questionnaire while their readiness for IPEC was measured using the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) comprising 19 items. A total of 125 nursing students participated in the study and data was analyzed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 25 DISCUSSION: The mean level of knowledge was 44.41 with SD of 4.72. The mean readiness score was 79.09 with the SD of 11.77. There is no significant association between the knowledge and readiness of nursing students regarding IPEC and their demographic variables at 0.05 confidence level.
Majority of the students had moderately adequate knowledge about IPEC and high level of readiness towards IPEC. This implies that when appropriately implemented, the students will reap the benefits of IPEC, which has the potential to improve their ability to provide holistic nursing care to their patients.
跨专业教育与协作（IPEC）基于相互尊重，可增强协作实践，并提高医护人员的满意度。
开展该研究以评估护理专业学生对IPEC的知识水平和准备程度。
使用一份包含20个条目的问卷评估学生的知识水平，同时使用包含19个条目的跨专业学习准备度量表（RIPLS）测量他们对IPEC的准备程度。共有125名护理专业学生参与了该研究，并使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS）25版对数据进行分析。讨论：知识的平均水平为44.41，标准差为4.72。准备程度的平均得分为79.09，标准差为11.77。在0.05的置信水平下，护理专业学生关于IPEC的知识与准备程度及其人口统计学变量之间无显著关联。
大多数学生对IPEC有适度充分的了解，并且对IPEC有较高的准备程度。这意味着如果适当实施，学生将从IPEC中受益，这有可能提高他们为患者提供整体护理的能力。
