Interprofessional education: merging nursing, midwifery and CAM.
British Journal of Nursing : BJN 2014 July 11
AIM: To ascertain the value of bringing together undergraduate students from nursing, midwifery, and complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) to determine what they could learn from each other.
BACKGROUND: Interprofessional education (IPE) is a growing field promoting interaction between professional groups, collaborative working and quality of health. In conventional health, IPE has a role to play in undergraduate education. No studies have been undertaken to investigate the integration of CAM students and conventional undergraduate healthcare students.
METHOD: In a mixed-method study, in 2010, a sample of third-year students enrolled on adult nursing, midwifery, homeopathy and complementary therapies degree courses took part in two workshops and a focus-group discussion.
FINDINGS: Six themes were identified from qualitative data analysis: interaction; breaking down prejudices; knowledge of self; knowledge of others; common aims; and organisational limitations.
CONCLUSION: The common aim of patient-centred care allowed students to recognise the benefits of a more integrated health system.
