The effects of interprofessional education – self-reported professional competence among prehospital emergency care nursing students on the point of graduation- A cross-sectional study

In the 1980s, the World Health Organisation raised the issue of interprofessional education (IPE) and said that it would be an advantage for undergraduate students to train together since they would work together in their professional lives (WHO, 2010). Students who participate in IPE strengthen their professional identity, gain a deeper understanding of the importance of teamwork, and acquire increased capability in interdisciplinary communication (Baker et al., 2008; Darlow et al., 2015; Morphet et al., 2014).
