Abstract
Background: Currently, one of the focal points in recent health policy is the collaboration between health professionals. Interprofessional education can provide a foundation for the development of health professionals that focus on the involvement and understanding of each other’s roles.
Objectives: To study the competency of Interprofessional Education between Applied Thai Traditional Medicine students and Modern Medicine Students with a model of Interprofessional Education.
Methods: Quantitative research was carried out by collecting information from those who participated in The Inter-Professional Education (IPE) model, which consisted of 48 third-year students of applied Thai traditional medicine and 16 fifth-year modern medical students in the academic year 2019; to which Interprofessional Collaborative Competency Attainment Survey (ICCAS) was used. Five aspects of competency were evaluated in three periods: before, immediately after and after one year of the program. Analysis was done by descriptive statistics and comparing the groups using the Mann-Whitney U Test.
Results: Before the program, the students from both groups had moderate scores in team work. Both groups had an increase in their average scores after the program was over and one year after the program, where the average scores increased over time. Average score of both students on understanding roles and responsibilities was the most improved in collaboration working with others which was statistically significant. In a comparison of average score between both groups of students, the average score was higher in the following periods but there was no significant difference between both groups.
Conclusions: Both groups of students gained competency in Interprofessional Education. This gain in competency will aid in providing good health care service for the patients and the public. Moreover, the Interprofessional Education program is a pedagogical approach that creates mutual understanding as well as minimizing the conflict between health professionals.
