Professional and Interprofessional Identity Formation in Healthcare Students During Placement in an Interprofessional Training Unit – A Multicentre Quantitative Study
We found that a one-week interprofessional placement significantly increased students' interprofessional identity, with midwifery students showing the largest raise. Students with a higher PI also had a higher IPI before the ITU placement, suggesting a stronger PI is associated with a greater propensity for fostering IPI. Possible explanations for these findings are offered.
