Q2. What is the role of the integration of health and social care in the United Kingdom?
This integration combines the services of health boards and local councils to reduce the numbers of unecessary admissions to hospitals by providing a more coordinated, cost effective approach to the provision of quality health and social care.
Q3. What did the authors find to be the significant effect of prior IPE experience on staff?
These studies highlighted that prior uncertainties, doubt and ambiguity related to the value of IPE for students, decreased once staff experienced IPE as a facilitator.
Q4. What is the effect of previous experience of IPE on staff attitudes to IPW?
These findings suggest that a greater sense of professional identity and professional culture as well as a lack of understanding of roles and responsibilties may influences attitudes to IPW and IPE.
Q5. What is the effect of previous experience of IPE on staff?
As qualified healthcare professionals, staff with experience of IPE in their pre-qualifying training felt more prepared for IPW and had increased self-awareness of positioning in a team, compared to those without prior IPE experience (Pollard & Miers, 2008).
Q6. What other variables were considered to influence attitudes to IPE?
The effects of othervariables such as professional experience, income, job satisfaction, gender on attitudes were considered briefly by some researchers.
Q7. What influences were considered as possible influences on attitudes?
The differences in attitudes between regions and locality of hospitals was also considered as a possible influence on attitudes, although researchers acknowledged that this relationship would need to be further explored (Jové et al., 2014).
Q8. What factors were considered in some of the studies?
Other possible influencing factors such as age, gender, professionalexperience and income were considered in some of the studies, although the strength of these correlations were varied and inconsistent.
