Abstrakt: In this study, we sought to assess the changes in the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) of athletic training program (ATP) and nurse practitioner (NP) graduate students before and after an acute care interprofessional education (IPE) workshop. This was a descriptive KAP survey to be taken by participants before and after the IPE event. This survey was administered using a QR code that participants scanned. The study occurred at the University of Central Florida College of Nursing before and after acute care skills were taught and practiced by each program's students. A total of 35 students from a professional master's ATP and an adult gerontology acute care NP program were present at the workshop. Thirty-two students took the preworkshop survey, while 30 students completed the postworkshop survey. In this study, we aimed to measure the change in perceptions about the knowledge, skills, teaching, and IPE understanding of each respective program after the educational workshop. Surveys were distributed before the IPE workshop and then again after the workshop concluded. The survey responses were scored on a 5-point Likert scale. Scores for each section were averaged, and statistical analysis was done using repeated measures analyses of variance for total and subsection scores for both programs. A significant increase was found for each group in IPE understanding, knowledge, skills, and teaching scoring (P <.05) with moderate to large effect sizes. Participating in this acute care IPE workshop showed significant increases in perceptions of the KAP among ATP and NP students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
