Working Together with Adults
An Implantation, Interprofessional Education in Geriatric Care
Abstract
The older population is increasing in developed and developing countries. The growing elderly population will produce positive and negative effects. High elderly populations will be a national burden if the elderly suffer with health problems. The aging population has high demands of comprehensive care. Effective team-based health care through inter-professional collaboration among health care providers is important to face the complexity of health problems in the elderly to improve the quality of care and patient outcomes. Interprofessional collaborative practices should be initiated in undergraduate phases through Interprofessional Education (IPE). This study uses a qualitative approach to explore the effectiveness of IPE in geriatric care through a short course of IPE program. The study shows that there were several advantages of the course of IPE learning in geriatric care from students’ perspectives. The students were able to demonstrate collaboration in assessment, planning, and intervention for improving elderly health. The students can improve their communication skills among health care students from other professions. However, there were challenges of IPE implementation in geriatric care.
