This study shows that interprofessional education programs significantly enhance dual identity development in health students. The interprofessional socialization framework effectively guides students toward collaborative professional identities.
Area of Science:
- Health Professions Education
- Social Psychology
- Interprofessional Studies
Background:
- Growing acknowledgment of interprofessional socialization (IPS) in literature.
- Paucity of research on socialization processes for dual identity development.
- Need to understand how health professions students develop professional and interprofessional identities.
Purpose of the Study:
- Assess the effect of an interprofessional socialization (IPS) based interprofessional education (IPE) program intervention.
- Examine the impact on students' IPS process.
- Investigate dual identity development in health professions students.
Main Methods:
- Concurrent embedded mixed-method design.
- Intervention: IPS-based IPE program for 108 pre-licensure students across seven health professions.
- Analysis: Latent Growth Curve (LGC) modeling and thematic content analysis.
Main Results:
- Significant and consistent growth rate in dual identity development observed.
- Thematic analysis revealed four key themes: uniprofessional education as a barrier, IPS program as an eye-opener, learning to collaborate, and collective unified team.
- Integrated findings support the interprofessional socialization framework.
Conclusions:
- Interprofessional socialization programs positively influence dual identity development.
- The IPS framework provides a valuable structure for understanding and fostering interprofessional collaboration.
- IPE interventions are crucial for preparing students for interprofessional practice.
