To examine peer-reviewed literature involving undergraduate interprofessional education (IPE) focusing on musculoskeletal (MSK) healthcare professions.
Methodological searches were conducted on electronic databases PubMed, Scopus, ERIC, and ProQuest. No date restrictions were applied. English sources (qualitative and quantitative methodological studies, conference papers and proceedings, systematic reviews, grey literature, unpublished materials, theses, and dissertations) were included. A researcher, independent reviewer, and research librarian completed the search and data extraction from June to October 2023. Disagreements were resolved by discussion. ATLAS.ti was used to analyze data by generating codes linked to the text. Findings were reported in a narrative format and by using tables.
Initially, 2894 articles were retrieved and screened for relevance. After rigorous screening procedures, 18 articles from various countries were deemed eligible for inclusion. The included studies were conducted within the date range of 2010 to 2024. The included studies employed mixed methods (n = 9), quantitative (n = 5), and qualitative (n = 4) approaches. Combined medical and physiotherapy student cohorts were prominently featured in 67% (n = 12) of the reviewed studies. All 18 studies incorporated the implementation and/or evaluation of an IPE intervention. Thematic analysis revealed 5 overarching themes, encompassing the benefits, barriers, interventions, strategies, evaluation, and general findings related to IPE.
The reviewed literature emphasizes a significant gap in IPE initiatives concerning various MSK health providers, including chiropractors, podiatrists, biokineticists, and osteopaths. This paucity accentuates the need for further exploration and evaluation of IPE within MSK-specific contexts, crucial for addressing and mitigating the escalating global burden of MSK diseases.
研究经同行评审的涉及本科跨专业教育（IPE）且聚焦于肌肉骨骼（MSK）医疗保健专业的文献。
在电子数据库PubMed、Scopus、ERIC和ProQuest上进行方法学检索。不设日期限制。纳入英文资料（定性和定量方法学研究、会议论文及会议记录、系统评价、灰色文献、未发表材料、学位论文和博士论文）。一名研究人员、独立评审员和研究馆员于2023年6月至10月完成检索和数据提取。通过讨论解决分歧。使用ATLAS.ti通过生成与文本相关的代码来分析数据。研究结果以叙述形式并通过表格呈现。
最初检索到2894篇文章并筛选其相关性。经过严格筛选程序后，来自不同国家的18篇文章被认为符合纳入标准。纳入研究的时间范围为2010年至2024年。纳入研究采用了混合方法（n = 9）、定量方法（n = 5）和定性方法（n = 4）。联合医学和物理治疗专业学生群体在67%（n = 12）的综述研究中显著出现。所有18项研究都纳入了IPE干预措施的实施和/或评估。主题分析揭示了5个总体主题，包括与IPE相关的益处、障碍、干预措施、策略、评估和一般研究结果。
综述文献强调了在涉及包括整脊师、足病医生、生物动力学家和整骨疗法医生等各类MSK健康提供者的IPE倡议方面存在重大差距。这种不足凸显了在MSK特定背景下进一步探索和评估IPE的必要性，这对于应对和减轻不断升级的全球MSK疾病负担至关重要。
