This project carried out in cooperation between the University of Applied Sciences for Health Professions Upper Austria (UASHPUA) and the Medical Faculty of Johannes Kepler University Linz (MFJKUL), describes the feasibility, i.e., the planning and implementation, and presents selected results of an inter-university lecture on interprofessional cooperation.
The lecture "Grundlagen zu interprofessioneller Zusammenarbeit im Gesundheitswesen (IPZ3I)"/"Introduction to interprofessional cooperation in health care (IPZ3I)" as well as an interprofessional job shadowing were designed. The pilot lecture started in the winter semester (WS) 2019/20. An evaluation of IPZ3I was undertaken by means of a questionnaire.
IPZ3I was held in the WS 2019/20 for 296 students from nine different health care professions and included a specialist lecture, the presentation of the professions, and interprofessional case processing. In the evaluation approx. 80% of the students described a better understanding of the interprofessional collaboration. More than 70% regard interprofessional courses in education as important or very important. The majority of respondents indicate that after completing the lecture they can make recommendations for action for interprofessional cooperation.
The joint lecture IPZ3I will be maintained at both universities. The process of evaluation and adaptation of curricula at UASHPUA is currently underway. This includes, for instance, consultations with the curriculum officers at MFJKUL, and the exploration of further possibilities to identify and to implement joint interprofessional teaching aspects in the curricula. This shall be achieved by considering the existing resources, increasing student numbers at MFJKUL as of 2023, planned curricula revisions as well as using possible synergies aiming at an extension of the existing cooperation.
本项目由上奥地利应用科学大学健康职业学院(UASHPUA)与林茨约翰内斯开普勒大学医学系(MFJKUL)合作开展,描述了合作讲座的可行性,即规划和实施,并展示了跨学科合作讲座的部分成果。
设计了题为“基础跨专业合作在卫生保健(IPZ3I)”/“介绍跨专业合作在卫生保健(IPZ3I)”的讲座以及跨专业实习。试点讲座于 2019/20 冬季学期开始。通过问卷调查对 IPZ3I 进行评估。
2019/20 冬季学期,来自九个不同医疗保健专业的 296 名学生参加了 IPZ3I,包括专业讲座、专业介绍和跨专业案例处理。在评估中,约 80%的学生表示对跨专业合作有了更好的理解。超过 70%的人认为教育中的跨专业课程很重要或非常重要。大多数受访者表示,在完成讲座后,他们可以为跨专业合作提出行动建议。
两所大学将继续举办联合讲座 IPZ3I。目前正在 UASHPUA 进行评估和调整课程的过程。这包括与 MFJKUL 的课程官员进行磋商,以及探索进一步的可能性,以确定和实施课程中的联合跨专业教学方面。这将通过考虑现有的资源、2023 年增加 MFJKUL 的学生人数、计划的课程修订以及利用可能的协同作用来实现,旨在扩大现有合作。
