Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To describe an interprofessional communication course in an academic health sciences center and to evaluate and compare interpersonal and interprofessional communication self-efficacy beliefs of medical, nursing, and pharmacy students before and after course participation, using Bandura's self-efficacy theory as a guiding framework.

DESIGN: First-year nursing (n=36), first-year medical (n=73), and second-year pharmacy students (n=83) enrolled in an interprofessional communication skills development course voluntarily completed a 33-item survey instrument based on Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) core competencies prior to and upon completion of the course during the fall semester of 2012.

ASSESSMENT: Nursing students entered the course with higher interpersonal and interprofessional communication self-efficacy beliefs compared to medical and pharmacy students. Pharmacy students, in particular, noted significant improvements in communication self-efficacy beliefs across multiple domains postcourse.

CONCLUSION: Completion of an interprofessional communications course was associated with a positive impact on health professions students' interpersonal and interprofessional communication self-efficacy beliefs.

Keywords: Interprofessional communication; interpersonal communication; self-efficacy beliefs
