Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES The present study aimed to investigate the effects of interprofessional education on healthcare providers' intentions to engage in an interprofessional shared decision-making (IP-SDM) process at emergency department and exploring the affecting factors on their intentions. METHODS We conducted the study through a sequential explanatory mixed method (quantitative-qualitative) design. All ED residents and nurses from two university hospitals were invited and assigned to the intervention and control groups. The intervention group was exposed to case-based learning sessions conducted by applying interprofessional strategies. The intentions of the participants engaged in IP-SDM were assessed before and 2 weeks after the intervention by a questionnaire designed based on the theory of planned behaviour. The questionnaire scores were compared between the intervention and control groups using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA). Partial eta-squared (η2 ) was used for effect size calculations in ANCOVA. Subsequently, to explore the affecting factors in engagement in IP-SDM, qualitative data were collected through semi-structured individual interviews. The inductive content analysis approach by Elo and Kyngas was employed to analyze the qualitative data. RESULTS Out of 117 potentially eligible healthcare professionals, 113 completed the study in the intervention (n = 55) and control (n = 58) groups. The results showed that the difference between the mean scores of the learners in the intervention (1.41 ± 0.27) and control (0.80 ± 0.52) groups was statistically significant (P-value = .00001). The main effect of the intervention and a large educational effect size for the intervention were found to be statistically significant F (1, 11) = 180.54, P-value = .00001, η2 = 0.62. The qualitative data analysis showed two main categories of "team-based facilitators" and "contextual challenges" as the main affecting factors in the engagement of participant in IP-SDM. CONCLUSION Our findings suggested that applying interprofessional education strategies could improve the learners' intention to engage in IP-SDM. Moreover, the results showed that the interprofessional collaboration among team members, adherence to the team-based care principles, and administrative support at different levels could be the influential factors the intentions of the participants to engage in IP-SDM.

Abstract
To guide interprofessional education (IPE), a variety of frameworks have been suggested for defining competency in interprofessional practice, but competency-based assessment remains challenging. One self-report measure developed to facilitate competency-based assessment in IPE is the IPEC Competency Self-Assessment. It was originally described as a 42-item measure constructed on the four domains defined by the Interprofessional Education Collaborative (IPEC) Expert Panel. Response data, however, identified only two factors labeled Interprofessional Interaction and Interprofessional Values. In this study, we tested a revised 19-item, two-factor scale based on these prior findings with a new sample (n = 608) and found good model fit with three items not loading on either factor. This led to a 16-item instrument, which was then tested with an additional sample (n = 676). Internal consistency was high, and scores for both subscales showed variance based on prior healthcare experience. The interprofessional interaction subscale was primarily comprised of items from the Teams and Teamwork domain, with one item each based on competencies from the Interprofessional Communication and Values/Ethics domains; and scores varied by year of enrollment. The interprofessional values subscale was comprised solely of items from the Values/Ethics domain. Scores for both subscales were strongly correlated with scores from the Interprofessional Socialization and Valuing Scale. This study further establishes the validity, reliability, and usability of an assessment tool based on interprofessional competency. The findings also suggest the constructs underlying the subscales may be affected differently by experience and training. Additional study using longitudinal data is needed to test this hypothesis.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the viewpoints of Iranian health-care team directors regarding factors that are influential in leading an interprofessional team in the emergency department. The study was conducted using in-depth individual interviews and inductive content analysis. The study took place in the emergency departments of three teaching hospitals in Tehran. We used purposeful criterion sampling and interviewed 15 health-care team directors including 12 emergency medicine specialists and 3 nursing directors. Each interview lasted 60 to 90 minutes. All interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. Participants' statements were used to freely generate the initial data codes (open coding). Then, the initial codes were arranged into subcategories, which were later grouped together into categories. Finally, by comparing and contrasting categories, three main categories were identified: (a) effectiveness of the team-based leadership, (b) strategies of advancing interprofessional collaboration, and (c) weakness in overcoming team challenges. In the present study, the main factors that affected developing interprofessional collaboration in the Iranian emergency department were the development and support of leadership at the team and organizational levels, and implementation of staff development strategies at the individual and team levels.

Abstract
This paper presents a study that aimed to develop and validate a theory-based instrument for the assessment of readiness to change for interprofessional collaboration in healthcare (IPC-TTM). The instrument was developed in the Persian language and tested in the Iranian context. Healthcare professionals from medical and nursing professions participated in the assessment of validity and reliability of the instrument. We conducted this psychometric study in two phases: First, the questionnaire was developed based on the transtheoretical model (TTM) through literature review and expert panel. Then, in the validation phase, we held three modified Delphi rounds to assess the content and face validity of the questionnaire. We used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to evaluate the fit of the questionnaire as applied to modified TTM. Reliability of the final instrument was tested by assessing the test-retest reliability of instrument items with Kappa coefficient. We also calculated the intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Cronbach's alpha to assess the test-retest reliability and internal consistency of the instrument sub-scales. The initial item pool consisted of 30 items and three sub-scales (Attitude, Intention, and Action). The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed with 17 items. Based on the CFA results two additional items were deleted to increase the fit of the model. The final instrument was confirmed with 15 items and three sub-scales. Reliability assessment on the 15-item instrument showed an acceptable test-retest reliability of the instrument items. ICC values for the Attitude, Intention, and Action sub-scales of the instrument were calculated as 0.82, 0.73, and 0.71, respectively. Moreover, Cronbach's alpha for the Attitude, Intention, and Action sub-scales were 0.85, 0.73, and 0.77, respectively. This study offers a new theory-based instrument to measure readiness to change for interprofessional collaboration in healthcare in the Iranian context. The questionnaire can be used for 'needs assessment' in developing tailored educational interventions and self-assessments in interprofessional education studies.

Abstract
This study aimed to assess the effectiveness of an interprofessional education model (IPE) based on the transtheoretical model to improve the participants' interprofessional collaborative practice. The study was conducted in Iran using a controlled before-and-after study design. The participants (n = 91) were the residents of emergency medicine and nurses of the emergency units from two teaching hospitals affiliated to Iran University of Medical Sciences. The participants in the intervention group (n = 40) were 22 residents and 18 nurses. The control group (n = 51) consisted of 20 residents and 31 nurses. The participants were classified based on their stage of readiness to change. The interventions were two-day workshops for each stage (i.e., attitude and intention). We used the Interprofessional Collaborator Assessment Rubric (ICAR) to assess the effectiveness of the developed model. The interprofessional collaboration of the participants in the intervention and control groups was assessed at four time points before and after the intervention in the real emergency unit environment. Student's t-test and repeated measures analysis of variance (RM-ANOVA) were used to analyse the data. We used partial eta-squared (η2) for effect size calculations. The mean values of ICAR scores in the intervention and control groups were 95.63 ± 19.14 and 89.19 ± 16.11 before the intervention. The mean values of ICAR scores at 3 months after the intervention were 99.82 ± 22.32 and 88.29 ± 16.87 in the intervention and control groups, respectively. After 6 months, the mean values of ICAR scores of the intervention and control groups were 98.6 ± 23.40 and 87.98 ± 16.01, respectively. The results showed that the intervention had a medium educational effect size (partial η2 = 0.06) on performance of the participants. Our results showed that an IPE model that is tailored to the learners' stage of readiness to change improves interprofessional collaboration in the participants. The developed model could be applied for improving interprofessional collaborative performance in other IPE programmes.
