Background:
Interprofessional collaboration and teamwork have been identified as priorities for delivering quality client care. Improved teamwork, communication, and collaboration among healthcare professionals improve client outcomes. Nurse professionals are challenged to be equally engaged with other healthcare professionals to develop a culturally competent client-centered plan of care.
Purpose:
The purpose of the current project was to examine the effectiveness of a multifaceted educational intervention on prelicensure nursing students' development of interprofessional competencies with teams and teamwork, communication, roles and responsibility, values, and ethics.
Methods:
Metrics used included the Interprofessional Collaboration Competency Attainment (ICCAS) and the Assessment of Collaborative Environments (ACE-15) surveys.
Results:
The results support practical and statistical significance in the students' self-reported collaborative competence across all items of the ICCAS at p < 0.000 level, and across each individual item.
Conclusions:
The multifaceted educational strategy effectively engaged prelicensure nursing students with other healthcare disciplines to develop a client-centered plan of care and achieve interprofessional competencies.
