Methods: A questionnaire was administered to students at Nagasaki University School of Medicine in Japan during each of three consecutive years (N=2244). The Readiness for In-terprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) was administered in addition to a questionnaire to evaluate interest in community medicine. The Kruskal-Wallis and Steel-Dwass tests were used to determine differences between school years. Correla-tion between the RIPLS score and interest in community medicine was evaluated with Spearman's rank correlation co-efficient. Relationships between RIPLS score and demo-graphic parameters, and interest in community medicine were evaluated with multiple linear regression analysis.
Results: Eighty-four percent (1891/2244) of students re-sponded. The RIPLS score was highest in school year 1, fol-lowed by year 6, year 5, year 3, and years 4 and 2. Interest in community medicine correlated with the RIPLS score (rs = 0.332, p < 0.001), but less in year 1 (rs = 0.125, p = 0.002) than in other years. RIPLS score was significantly associated with gender, age, school year, interest in community medicine, but not the year that the survey was conducted.
Conclusions: Community-oriented interprofessional educa-tion has the potential to improve attitudes towards interpro-fessional learning. When introducing this promising educa-tion into the curriculum from year 1, attracting students' interest in community medicine should be considered., 長崎大学学位論文 学位記番号: 博(医歯薬)甲第1315号 学位授与年月日:令和3年3月3日, Author: Yusuke Matsuzaka, Yuko Hamaguchi, Ayako Nishino, Kumiko Muta, Ikuko Sagara, Hiroyuki Ishii, Ikue Noguchi, Sayaka Kuba, Yuji Shiotani, Takashi Mine, Tatsuki Ichikawa, Hiroki Ozawa, Toru Yasutake, Alan Kawarai Lefor, Sumihisa Honda, Takahiro Maeda, Yasuhiro Nagata, Citation: International Journal of Medical Education, 11, pp.240-244; 2020, Nagasaki University (長崎大学), 博士(医学) (2021-03-03)},
