Summary
An online interprofessional education (IPE) dementia case study successfully enhanced health science students' collaborative skills and client-centred mindsets. This approach is vital for improving dementia care quality.
Area of Science:
- Gerontology
- Medical Education
- Health Sciences
Background:
- High-quality dementia care necessitates interprofessional collaboration.
- Developing client-centred mindsets is crucial for health science professionals.
- Existing interprofessional education (IPE) models require adaptation for online delivery.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop and evaluate an online interprofessional education (IPE) dementia case study.
- To enhance collaborative interprofessional capabilities among health science students.
- To foster client-centred mindsets essential for effective dementia care.
Main Methods:
- A mixed-methods research design was employed.
- The Interprofessional Socialization and Valuing Scale (ISVS) was administered pre- and post-intervention.
- Thematic analysis was conducted on qualitative free-text responses.
Main Results:
- Significant improvements in ISVS scores were observed post-participation.
- Qualitative data indicated a positive shift towards interprofessional collaboration.
- Students demonstrated enhanced client-centred care perspectives.
Conclusions:
- The online IPE case study effectively improved students' collaborative abilities.
- The initiative successfully cultivated client-centred mindsets crucial for dementia care.
- This online IPE model prepares future health professionals for complex dementia care needs.
