Development of a questionnaire to assess student behavioral confidence to undertake interprofessional education activities

How does interprofessional education affect attitudes towards interprofessional collaboration? A rapid realist synthesis

Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) in healthcare is regarded as important by professionals, as it increases the quality of care while decreasing costs. Interprofessional education (IPE) is a prerequisite for IPC and influences learners' attitudes, knowledge, and collaboration skills. Since attitudes shape behavior, understanding how they are formed is crucial for influencing IPC in learners' professional practice. We investigated what kind of IPE works, for which students, how, and in what circumstances to develop positive attitudes towards IPC. Using realist synthesis, we extracted causal mechanisms that produce positive attitude outcomes and the conducive contexts that trigger them. Our analysis resulted in six plausible context-mechanism-outcome configurations that explain positive attitude development. Positive IPC attitudes are more likely to arise in contexts where IPE provides time and facilities for formal and informal interactions, as this allows learners to get to know each other both professionally and personally, fostering trust, respect, and mutual liking. Additionally, positive attitudes are more likely in contexts where the IPE curriculum is perceived as career-relevant and boosts confidence. Key mechanisms of positive attitude development include getting to know the other learners professionally and personally, experiencing positive affect during IPE, and learners experiencing mutual dependence. Sustained positive attitudes are more likely to develop when there is organizational support for IPC and professionals attend IPE on an ongoing basis, allowing the attitudes and values expected in IPC to be positively reinforced and eventually integrated into the learners' personal value system.

The Acceptability of Traditional Culture under the Background of Deep Learning

The cultural values of a country impact its national psychology and identity. Citizens' values and public opinions are conveyed to state leaders over the media and other information channels, both directly and indirectly influencing decisions on foreign policy. The traditional cultural values that affect the psyche of the Chinese people are harmony, generosity, morality, courtesy, wisdom, honesty, loyalty, and filial piety. This study aims to analyze the attitudes of Chinese college students toward traditional culture. The reliability and effect factors of the traditional culture acceptability questionnaire are set in the context of deep learning. A questionnaire on traditional culture education of college students is compiled using the indicator evaluation methods, and the current situation of traditional culture education is investigated for college students. A total of 300 valid respondents are returned from five universities including Shanghai Jiaotong University, Fudan University, Yunnan University, Kunming University of Science and Technology, and Yunnan Normal University. Results show that 28% of college students believe that practical activities including visiting and learning and traditional festival commemoration are the most effective ways to educate traditional culture for them, which accounts for the largest percentage. Similarly, 19% of students suggest online publicity, while 16% believe that lecture reports are particularly important, and 12% of students advocate the teaching courses. In addition, about 23% of the students choose other methods, such as seminars, setting up Chinese culture festivals, and building cultural associations. The outcomes of this study provide data support for identifying the shortcomings in traditional cultural education and formulating strategies.
