Abstract

［Purpose］An interprofessional healthcare student group developed and conducted a diabetes education program for diabetes patients. This study examined the effects of this experience on their recognition of an interdisciplinary team approach to medicine. [Methods] Interviews were conducted involving 13 healthcare students after the interprofessional diabetes education program, and the obtained data were analyzed using the Steps for Coding and Theorization （SCAT）. ［Results］“（1） The relationships with patients”, “（2） understanding the specialty of their own and other professionals”, and “（3） awareness obtained by participating in IPE for the promotion of an interdisciplinary team approach to medicine” were extracted as major categories, and were regarded as important to provide an interdisciplinary team approach to medicine. Also,students’ involvement with patients involved 3 processes: 〈understanding patients〉, 〈responsibility for patients〉, and 〈intervention for patients〉, and the level of emphasis placed on each process varied according to the faculty. After the participation in interprofessional education （IPE）, medical, nursing/pharmaceutical, and dietetic students deepened their understanding of: the roles of other professionals, those of their own and other professionals, and their own specialty, respectively. ［Discussion］The content and duration of clinical training conducted at each faculty had affected the process of involvement with patients. Pre-program learning at each faculty is necessary for the identification of their own specialty, and the development of a relationship with other professionals requires the accumulation of interchange experiences, suggesting the need to establish a continuing IPE program.
