Objective To explore the effectiveness of interprofessional education in innovative training course instruction.Methods Convenience sampling was used to select second-year nursing undergraduates at a university,and they were grouped into an intervention group made up of students from the 2020 nurs-ing students(n=41)and a control group made up of those from the 2019 nursing students(n=41).The control group participated in a regular innovative training course,while the intervention group engaged in an interprofessional one.Interviews were conducted after the course to find out how the nursing students rated their innovative abilities and to compare the learning outcomes,interprofessional collaboration com-petencies,and readiness for interprofessional learning between the two groups.Results 4 themes were ab-stracted from the interviews:stimulating imagination,provoking curiosity,experiencing the unknown and challenges,and growth.After the course,students in the intervention group were more creative in their learning outcomes and had higher scores for interprofessional collaboration competencies and readiness for interprofessional learning than those in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusions The interprofessional innovative training course not only improves the effectiveness of traditional innovation training implemen-tation,but has the potential to enhance the innovative abilities of nursing students as well as the readiness for interprofessional learning and competencies.
