Keywords:
Inter-professional education, perception, readiness, undergraduate healthcare studentAbstract
This study aims to describe the perceptions of and readiness
for IPE among nursing, medical and pharmacy students. The
quantitative descriptive study was conducted in an IPE which held at
the three faculties of a private university in Central Java, Indonesia. The
IPE was delivered in two sessions with a seven-stage tutorial. The
sample was taken using proportionate random sampling and engaged
83 of 425 students. A mean score analysis found that the mean value of
students’ perception was 88.04 (SD 6.72) for medical students, 84.66 (SD
10.26) for nursing and 81.14 (SD 10.41) for pharmacy students.
Meanwhile, the pharmacy students have the highest readiness for the
IPE followed by nursing and medical students with 73.45 (SD 7.85),
72.34 (SD 7.35) and 71.32 (SD7.36), respectively. Overall, the students
have positive perceptions and readiness toward the program. It may be
due to cognitive ability, culture effect, socialization, early clinical
experience and IPE exposure in curricula.
