Abstrakt: Background: With a growing population of older people in all Western countries, interprofessional education (IPE) can help to prepare students for the complex care for these patients. Which aspects of this complex care could benefit from IPE? In this study we evaluated the differences in content of health care plans made by students who participated in IPE.
Methods: Undergraduate nursing and medical students were included and attended four sessions in which they wrote a health care plan for a paper-based geriatric patient case. Approximately half of the students were included in the IPE-group. To evaluate the content of interprofessional collaboration between the students, the other half of the students were included in a 'uniprofessional education' (UPE) group. UPE-students made the health care plan alone. In the IPE-group a medical and a nursing students compiled the health care plan together. All health care plans were assessed by comparing them with a validated health care plan. We zoomed into the differences in the content of the health care plans, and calculated a score ratio, proportion of correct items.
Results: The health care plans made by IPE-students had an average score ratio of 0.31. The health care plans made by UPE-students had an average score ratio of 0.22. Most differences were found in the subcategories medication, nursing actions and aftercare. Specific items within these categories were more frequently thought of in the IPE-group than in the UPE-group, for example delirium interventions and consultation with a transfer nurse.
Conclusion: This study gives insights into which health care actions are more often considered by interprofessional couples in IPE than by students in UPE. Awareness of these items in clinical practice could make a difference in the care for older patients.
