ABSTRACT

Objective: Interprofessional education (IPE) promotes effective collaboration among healthcare professionals and has been increasingly implemented in Korea. And a Korean-style IPE assessment tool was recently developed but has not been implemented in practice. Therefore, this study applied the newly developed assessment tool to real-life educational settings to evaluate its effectiveness. Methods: Seven university departments participated in the IPE course. A total of 62 students and seven professors used the IPE assessment tool, which was developed in a previous study, to evaluate the core IPE competencies, before and after the program. Results: After the IPE course, the scores increased from 4.5 to 4.7 in the learning stage and from 4.4 to 4.7 in the behavior stage. Subsequent stage scores were also high: 4.7 in the reaction stage, 4.6 in the professor result stage, and 4.8 in the team member result stage. In the learning stage, ‘Values/ethics for inter-professional practic’ and ‘Roles/responsibilities,’ significantly increased, and in the behavior stage, all competencies significantly increased. Learning, behavior, and reaction stages were positively correlated, as were the four core competencies, with moderate-to-high correlations. Conclusions: In this study, a newly developed Korean-style IPE assessment tool was evaluated, and it was confirmed that the IPE program at the target university significantly improved the core competencies of participating students in the learning and action stages.
