Abstract
Inter-Professional Education (IPE) is considered to be essential to prepare students to readily work as a part of an interdisciplinary team. A quasi experimental research with one group posttest-design was conducted to examine the effectiveness of IPE on collaborative competency of Inter-professional practice and happiness of undergraduate students. The sample consisted of 26 undergraduate students selected by volunteer sampling, including fourth year nursing students from Borommarajonani College of Nursing Changwat Nonthaburi, medical students from Pranangklao Hospital, teaching profession students from Kasetsart University, and IT engineering students. The Interprofessional Collaborative Competencies Attainment Survey: ICCAS and Oxford Happiness Questionnaire: OHQ were used. Data were analyzed using percentage, mean, and standard deviation.
The results showed that overall competency level was high (mean 4.13, SD=.16). Analysis of each domain found that the communication competency was at a high level (mean 4.29, SD=.18), followed by conflict management/resolution and team functioning (mean 4.15, SD=.16), roles and responsibilities (mean 4.13, SD=.16), collaboration (4.08, SD=.15), and patient/family-centered approach (mean 3.96, SD=.15). Happiness of undergraduate students was high (mean 5.22, SD=.44). The educational institutes should continuously apply inter-professional education for their students every year.
