Interprofessional Education (IPE) activities are a first experience of real-world patient care practice for students, where collaboration with different professions is appreciated. Methods and timing of inclusion of IPE are not well-defined, and it is interesting to assess students' perception on IPE activities.
To assess changes in pharmacy students' perception of IPE before (t0) and after (t1) an IPE activity.
The 'Student Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical Education-Revised 2' (SPICE-R2) tool was adopted to assess perception of IPE activities in third year pharmacy students, final year pharmacy students and in postgraduate Doctorate in Pharmacy (PharmD) students at t0 and t1.
The SPICE-R2 tool was completed at t0 and t1 by 61 students: 12 third year pharmacy students, 13 final year students and 36 PharmD students. A significant improvement between t0 and t1 ( < .05) was measured in the three groups of students for all three subscales of the tool. The largest improvement was observed in the 'Roles/Responsibilities for Collaborative Practice' subscale in all three groups of students.
Perception of IPE was positively increased in all three student groups. The results could be useful to support the design of IPE activities within pharmacy programmes.
对于学生来说，跨专业教育（IPE）活动是他们第一次体验真实的患者护理实践，在这种实践中，不同专业的合作是值得赞赏的。IPE 的纳入方法和时间尚未明确，评估学生对 IPE 活动的看法很有意思。
评估药学专业学生在 IPE 活动前后（t0 和 t1）对 IPE 的看法的变化。
采用“学生对跨专业临床教育的感知修订版 2（SPICE-R2）”工具，在 t0 和 t1 时评估三年级药学学生、四年级药学学生和药学博士（PharmD）学生对 IPE 活动的感知。
在 t0 和 t1 时，有 61 名学生完成了 SPICE-R2 工具的填写，包括 12 名三年级药学学生、13 名四年级学生和 36 名 PharmD 学生。在三个学生群体中，所有三个工具子量表的 t0 和 t1 之间均有显著改善（<.05）。在所有三个学生群体中，“协作实践的角色/责任”子量表的改善最大。
所有三个学生群体对 IPE 的看法都有了积极的提高。这些结果可以为药学课程中 IPE 活动的设计提供支持。
