Abstract
Purpose: To evaluate the effectiveness of a virtual interprofessional collaboration in public health educational intervention. Design: Mixed-methods study. Methods: Sample (N =171) consisted of community health nursing students, who completed an assessment after watching six videos, illustrating how various disciplines collaborate in a public health department. Findings: Participants felt their interprofessional awareness, understanding, and collaboration intention increased; clarified discipline misconceptions, and application/utilization plans for this knowledge in practice were revealed. Conclusions: Interprofessional collaboration in public health educational intervention was effective in increasing participants’ interprofessional awareness, understanding, and intent to collaborate. Clinical Evidence: Educational intervention is a strategy to improve students’ knowledge of interprofessional collaboration in public health.
