Abstract:

Objective To review the scope of teaching methods，objects，evaluation method and content，implementation effects of interprofessional education（IPE） for nursing postgraduates，and explore the application status of interprofessional education activities，so as to provide guidance for future research. Methods Based on the scope review method，we searched Wanfang，CNKI，VIP，PubMed，Web of Science，Embase，EBSCO（Medline，CINAHL），Ovid literature databases. The search period was from the database establishment to April 2022. Then，we identified relevant studies，screened the literature according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. In addition，data were extracted from included literature，and research results were collected，summarized and reported. Results A total of 16 relevant papers were included. The teaching methods of IPE include interprofessional courses，interprofessional training program. IPE objects have a wide range of majors and student levels，including undergraduates，postgraduate students，and doctoral students majoring in medicine，health science and sociology. The evaluation methods of IPE mainly include questionnaire，knowledge test，focus group interview and course evaluation. IPE teaching practice has positive effects on improving the interprofessional attitude，knowledge，and skills of nursing master students，enhancing their confidence in interprofessional collaborative，and improving role cognition level. However，IPE teaching activities also have some problems，such as the conflict of curriculum arrangement，the lack of teacher resources and the increasing burden of students and teachers. Conclusion The application of IPE practice in nursing postgraduates abroad has achieved good results. Nursing educators in China can learn from their experience，construct IPE courses and team training programs，and effectively promote the development of IPE in nursing postgraduate education.
