Support for interprofessional education (IPE) is growing, with regulatory bodies requiring its inclusion in undergraduate healthcare programmes. Although the IPE Core Competencies and Guidelines offer principles for guiding IPE implementation, they lack practical application guidance. Bridging this gap necessitates tools to translate these frameworks into actionable practices. We developed an IPE strategy to overcome barriers by providing a clear roadmap to IPE implementation.
The study designed a three-round E-Delphi. Initially, the research team created 24 strategic statements by consolidating existing IPE competencies. In Round 1, the panel could accept, reject, modify or add new statements. In Round 2, they could accept, reject or modify the revised statements. By Round 3, the panel either accepted or rejected the final statements. The research team analysed the levels of consensus, set at 80% agreement, and thematically analysed the free-text comments.
The Delphi panel consisted of 41 participants in Survey 1 and 43 in Surveys 2 and 3. The study began with 24 strategic statements across three priority areas. By the end of the Delphi process, this increased to 28 statements. Study consensus levels ranged from 74.29% to 100%, and participant retention rates were 85.4%, 67.4% and 62.7%, respectively.
The use of the E-Delphi method demonstrates its value in gathering diverse input, fostering consensus and enhancing the quality and relevance of IPE strategic development by integrating a broad range of perspectives. Further research on the scalability and long-term effects of this IPE strategy is warranted.
对跨专业教育（IPE）的支持正在增加，监管机构要求将其纳入本科医疗保健课程。尽管IPE核心能力与指南提供了指导IPE实施的原则，但它们缺乏实际应用指导。弥合这一差距需要将这些框架转化为可操作实践的工具。我们制定了一项IPE战略，通过提供明确的IPE实施路线图来克服障碍。
该研究设计了三轮电子德尔菲法。最初，研究团队通过整合现有的IPE能力创建了24条战略声明。在第一轮中，专家小组可以接受、拒绝、修改或添加新声明。在第二轮中，他们可以接受、拒绝或修改修订后的声明。到第三轮时，专家小组要么接受要么拒绝最终声明。研究团队分析了设定为80% 一致同意的共识水平，并对自由文本评论进行了主题分析。
德尔菲专家小组在第一次调查中有41名参与者，在第二次和第三次调查中有43名参与者。该研究从三个优先领域的24条战略声明开始。到德尔菲过程结束时，声明增加到28条。研究的共识水平在74.29% 至100% 之间，参与者保留率分别为85.4%、67.4% 和62.7%。
电子德尔菲法的使用证明了其在收集多样化意见、促进共识以及通过整合广泛观点提高IPE战略发展的质量和相关性方面的价值。有必要对这一IPE战略的可扩展性和长期影响进行进一步研究。
