Factors influencing behavioral intentions of graduating pharmacy students regarding interprofessional collaboration - a theory-driven qualitative study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Interprofessional collaboration enhances the use of competencies of different medical team members. Additionally, pharmacists' involvement in patient care has been shown to improve their outcomes and seems particularly valuable in chronic diseases. Therefore, due to the aging of society and the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases, efforts are needed to involve pharmacists more broadly in patient care. However, there is a limited understanding of what factors could influence their willingness to participate in an interprofessional care team, especially among pharmacy students only entering the profession. This study aimed to fill these knowledge gaps by exploring graduating pharmacy students' intentions in this regard guided by the theory of planned behavior.
