Evaluation of an interprofessional educational program in nursing home practice: a mixed methods multiple-case study.

Research has shown that interprofessional collaboration (IPC) and education (IPE) may potentially lead to better care for residents in nursing homes, but their implementation is challenging. This study evaluates the implementation of a co-designed IPE program and investigates what and how healthcare...

      ab: Research has shown that interprofessional collaboration (IPC) and education (IPE) may potentially lead to better care for residents in nursing homes, but their implementation is challenging. This study evaluates the implementation of a co-designed IPE program and investigates what and how healthcare students learn and what factors influence their learning. A mixed-methods approach was used to evaluate three cases, with student participation in the IPE (n = 72). The study comprised pre- and posttests, focus groups, and interviews (n = 54). The results indicate that students developed their interprofessional skills and person-centered practice, as confirmed by both the students and educators in the interviews. Additionally, the findings suggest that others also learned from the program. The study emphasizes the influence of workplace learning culture, resources, organizational infrastructure for IPC, and educators' embeddedness in the care organization on learning outcomes. The findings suggest that IPE is stimulated and accelerated by existing IPC and can stimulate or accelerate existing IPC. As the enabling factors are interrelated, addressing them simultaneously on all organizational levels may result in the faster development of an IPE-ready organization.
