Effectiveness of Interprofessional Education on Improvement of Learning Outcomes among Undergraduate Nursing Students: A Meta-Analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

In today's complex healthcare environment, nurses do not work in isolation. Successful patient outcomes depend on seamless collaboration among nurses, doctors, pharmacists, and other professionals. Interprofessional education (IPE) ensures that future nurses are equipped with the teamwork, communication, and decision-making skills necessary for delivering safe and effective patient care. Despite its recognized importance, studies reveal mixed results on the effectiveness of IPE, particularly among nursing students.

Objectives

This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the impact of IPE on key learning outcomes among undergraduate nursing students, focusing on teamwork, communication, self-efficacy, and professional attitudes, compared to traditional education methods.
