Interprofessional education (IPE) seeks to promote interprofessional competencies among care providers, to help improve quality of care and patient safety. Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) and teamwork are particularly important in perinatal care. Therefore, we introduced , an interprofessional patient safety training for students in perinatal care. Here, we aim to present its concept and formative evaluation results.
The training programme designed for midwifery, nursing and medical students, focuses on IPC core competencies and safety communication techniques pertaining to perinatal care. It consists of two one-hour training sessions implemented in the setting of an inter-professional training ward in the local postpartum care unit of an academic university hospital. Additionally, skilled practice trainers supervised practical application of learning contents in the ward. Formative evaluation involved semi-structured interviews with practice trainers, focusing on relevance and feasibility.
Practice trainers reported overall acceptance of the training content. High individual motivation was identified as a key success factor for implementing IPE and IPC. Leaders' support and structural feasibility were also identified as critical factors. The remaining challenges for future training adaptations need to be considered for sustainable transfer to safe perinatal care practice.
Our formative evaluation and preliminary experiences of revealed several critical success factors and barriers for IPE and IPC in perinatal care. We identified critical challenges and opportunities for future project refinement, serving as a blueprint for similar initiatives in perinatal care and beyond.
跨专业教育（IPE）旨在提升医疗服务提供者的跨专业能力，以帮助提高医疗质量和患者安全。跨专业协作（IPC）和团队合作在围产期护理中尤为重要。因此，我们推出了一项针对围产期护理专业学生的跨专业患者安全培训。在此，我们旨在介绍其概念和形成性评估结果。
该培训项目专为助产、护理和医学专业学生设计，侧重于围产期护理的IPC核心能力和安全沟通技巧。它包括在一所学术大学医院当地产后护理单元的跨专业培训病房环境中开展的两次一小时培训课程。此外，专业的实践培训师监督学习内容在病房中的实际应用。形成性评估包括对实践培训师进行半结构化访谈，重点关注相关性和可行性。
实践培训师报告了对培训内容的总体认可。高度的个人积极性被确定为实施IPE和IPC的关键成功因素。领导者的支持和结构可行性也被确定为关键因素。未来培训调整中仍存在的挑战需要加以考虑，以便可持续地转化为安全的围产期护理实践。
我们对围产期护理中IPE和IPC的形成性评估及初步经验揭示了几个关键的成功因素和障碍。我们确定了未来项目改进的关键挑战和机遇，为围产期护理及其他领域的类似举措提供了蓝图。
