---|---|---|
Interprofessional home visits in primary healthcare were an appreciated and effective pedagogical learning activity with a sustainability dependent on organisational factors | Home visits as an educational IPL activity | – Student activating in an effective way – Instructive IPL activity when many professions participated – The supervisor was a facilitator, which can be a new role for some supervisors |
The activity was highly valued by the participants | – The students developed both in their professional and in their interprofessional roles – The supervisors experienced the activity as instructive and beneficial for patient care – Interprofessional assessments led to quality improvement for the patient |
|
Facilitating factors and challenges for the learning activity | – Difficult for supervisors to allocate time for the seminars – To organise the activity required extensive planning, but there were tricks to facilitate it – Finding the right patient was a key factor, but it turned out to be difficult – Designating sufficient time for organising the activity was perceived as a prerequisite |
|
Organisational prerequisites for IPL and teamwork in primary healthcare | – Separate organisations and geographical distances made cooperation more difficult – The financial compensation for supervision was less than the reimbursement for care visits – Support from the local management could make a big difference – More engagement from and better co-planning with health education programmes would facilitate IPL – Experience of interprofessional collaboration in the present clinical work varied |
|
Opportunities for dissemination | – The learning activity must be simplified if more students are to be able to participate – If there is to be dissemination, supervisors must be more involved – The project has opened for increased interprofessional collaboration in some cases – Support from the adjunct clinical lecturers was important |
