Skewness Kurtosis The Shapiro-Wilk test Results: Research Question 1: To what extent do attitudes of nurse educators toward interprofessional educational experiences change following participation in the conference SS1: Teamwork 7 Co-operation (Items 1 - 9) SS2: Negative Professional Identity (Items 10 - 12) SS3: Positive Professional Identity (Items 13 - 16) SS4: Roles and Responsibilities (Items 17 - 19) p = 0.0099 p = 0.8590 p = 0.0045 p = 0.2655 was enough not enough was enough not enough Research Question 2: To what extent do attitudes of nurse educators toward teaching communication skills within an interprofessional environment change following participation in the conference? RIPLS question 5: Communication skills should be learned with other health care students. Analysis indicated there was enough evidence to claim a statistically significant difference (p = 0.0311) between the pretest and posttest responses in attitudes of nurse educators toward teaching communication skills within an interprofessional environment, in terms of question 5. Research Question 3: To what extend do attitudes of nurse educators' toward teaching teamwork skills within an interprofessional environment change following participation in the conference? RIPLS question 8: Team-working skills are essential for all health care students to learn. There was not enough evidence to claim that there was a statistically significant difference (p = 0.2532) between the pretest and posttest responses in attitudes of nurse educators toward teaching skills skills within an interprofessional environment, in terms of Q8. SS1: Teamwork 7 Co-operation (Items 1 - 9) SS2: Negative Professional Identity (Items 10 - 12) SS3: Positive Professional Identity (Items 13 - 16) SS4: Roles and Responsibilities (Items 17 - 19) p = 0.4815 p = 0.7318 p = 0.2091 p = 0.0401 not enough not enough not enough was enough Research Question 5: Are there significant differences in changes in attitudes related to IPE among nurse educators who are engaged in clinical teaching and nurse educators who are not engaged in clinical teaching? SS1: Teamwork 7 Co-operation (Items 1 - 9) SS2: Negative Professional Identity (Items 10 - 12) SS3: Positive Professional Identity (Items 13 - 16) SS4: Roles and Responsibilities (Items 17 - 19) p = 0.6182 p = 0.3329 p = 0.2728 not enough not enough not enough not enough Conclusion: Highlights a gap in the literature. Attitudes of nurse educators regarding communication and teamwork. Need for faculty education. There remains nurse educators that have not practiced in an IPE setting nor taught IPE concepts. Overall positive attitudes. Positive change in attitudes in communication. Recommendations for the Future: Research Repeat study with larger number of participants. Include how those implementing IPE overcome barriers. Longitudinal studies to determine impact on practice. Practice Clinical strategies for both faculty teaching and student experiences Implementation of IPEC core competences. Education IPE faculty development and teaching strategies on multiple levels.
