Experiences of students and health care professionals from an interprofessional HIV training workshop: a mixed-method study

< .001) across all six ICCAS domains: communication, collaboration, roles and responsibilities, collaborative patient/family-centeredness, conflict resolution, and team functioning. Median changes were greatest in team functioning and patient-centered care domains. Qualitative data from 15 interviews corroborated these findings, revealing enhanced communication, mutual respect across professional roles, and increased readiness for interdisciplinary collaboration. However, participants also cited persistent ambiguities in role clarification and challenges in sustaining collaborative behaviors post-training. Embedding IPE within continuing professional development frameworks could reinforce sustained collaboration and address structural challenges unique to LMICs. This study contributes to the limited empirical literature on IPE implementation in resource-constrained settings and supports calls for intentional, systemic investment in interprofessional training to advance patient-centered, team-based HIV care.
