Abstract
Background: There are over 120 instruments that have been identified to assess the impact of IPE. It is not clear which of these is most appropriate to utilize throughout a university-wide curriculum to assess knowledge, skills, abilities and attitudes towards IPE. This study compared two instruments, the Student Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical Education-Revised (SPICE-R) and the Team Skills Scale (TSS) in an elective interprofessional health promotion course for vulnerable populations through the context of community engagement.
Methodology: In its third offering, 27 students enrolled in the semester-long course (9 exercise science, 2 nurse practitioner, 6 occupational therapy, 7 pharmacy, and 3 social work). The students were divided into three teams each assigned a client with complex health and social issues. They engaged in learning activities, discussed team skills, and developed a collaborative agreement. The TSS and the SPICE-R instruments were administered at the beginning and the end of the course. Mean pre and post scores were compared using paired student's t tests.
Results: There were statistically significant improvements for all independent TSS questions after the course intervention with the exception of two. Mean total TSS scores were pre-60.1+10.5 and post-71.1+9.10.1, p
