Students in their final years of medicine, nursing and pharmacy degrees were invited to participate in an interprofessional influenza vaccination training course and clinic. Twenty-four students (8 from each discipline) were selected to participate. After vaccination training these students administered free influenza vaccines under supervision in two student-led clinics to 546 students in health and allied health programs prior to their clinical placements.
To evaluate the students' experience of the interprofessional vaccination training and clinic, and to evaluate the experiences of students who received their vaccination in the student-led clinic.
Before and after participating, students completed a questionnaire evaluating their perceived knowledge of influenza vaccinations, and their skills and confidence in administering vaccinations and the Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS). Eighteen students completed both the pre- and post-questionnaires. All students who received their flu vaccination were also asked to complete a short patient evaluation survey.
The course resulted in significant increases in the students' perceived knowledge of influenza vaccinations (27.5% increase, p<0.001), skills in managing patients receiving influenza vaccines (23.9% increase, p<0.001) and confidence level to administer influenza vaccines (46.0% increase, p<0.001). While there was no significant change in any subscales of the RIPLS, open-ended responses indicated that the students enjoyed and could see the benefits of meeting and learning with and from students from other health disciplines. Of the students who received their influenza vaccination, 97.7% were very likely or somewhat likely to recommend the clinic to fellow students.
The interprofessional vaccination training and influenza vaccination clinic provided effective interprofessional vaccination training and afforded an authentic interprofessional experiential opportunity.
医学、护理和药学专业最后一年的学生被邀请参加一个跨专业流感疫苗接种培训课程及诊所活动。挑选了24名学生（每个专业8名）参与。经过疫苗接种培训后，这些学生在两个由学生主导的诊所中，在监督下为546名健康及相关健康专业项目的学生在临床实习前免费接种流感疫苗。
评估学生对跨专业疫苗接种培训及诊所活动的体验，以及评估在学生主导诊所接种疫苗的学生的体验。
参与前后，学生完成一份问卷，评估他们对流感疫苗接种的认知、接种疫苗的技能和信心，以及跨专业学习准备量表（RIPLS）。18名学生完成了问卷前测和后测。所有接种流感疫苗的学生还被要求完成一份简短的患者评价调查。
该课程使学生对流感疫苗接种的认知显著提高（提高27.5%，p<0.001），管理接种流感疫苗患者的技能显著提高（提高23.9%，p<0.001），接种流感疫苗的信心水平显著提高（提高46.0%，p<0.001）。虽然RIPLS的任何子量表都没有显著变化，但开放式回答表明，学生们喜欢并能看到与其他健康专业的学生见面交流并相互学习的好处。在接种流感疫苗的学生中，97.7%的学生非常可能或有些可能会向同学推荐该诊所。
跨专业疫苗接种培训和流感疫苗接种诊所提供了有效的跨专业疫苗接种培训，并提供了一个真实的跨专业体验机会。
