Research trends in interprofessional education programs related to medication for undergraduate nursing students: a scoping review

Purpose: This study investigated how interprofessional education (IPE) related to medication for un-dergraduate healthcare students, including nursing students, has been designed and conducted. Fur-thermore, the outcomes of these IPE programs were evaluated. Methods: A scoping review was per-formed to understand the content and methods of IPE on medication for undergraduate healthcare students, including nursing students. A literature search was done using PubMed, Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Embase, Research Information Sharing Service, and Korean Nurs-ing Database in English between January 2000 and December 2022. In total, 14 papers were selected and reviewed. Results: Eleven research studies were conducted on the implementation of one-time IPE on medication safety or errors. Among them, six studies focused on providing IPE to nursing stu-dents alongside medical and pharmacy students, while three studies targeted nursing and medical students, and two studies focused on nursing and pharmacy students. The most commonly employed educational method was simulation, which was utilized in 12 studies. All studies consistently reported a positive impact on attitudes toward IPE and effective communication. Additionally, five studies eval-uating medication knowledge reported improvements in participants’ understanding of drugs. Conclu-sion: The effects of IPE related to medication for undergraduate nursing students have been con-firmed. It is necessary to introduce IPE in the field of pharmacology.
