A quasi-experimental study on the impact of interprofessional education on collaborative attitudes among midwifery, nursing, and medicine students in Brussels, Belgium.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
introductionInterprofessional education (IPE) positively influences students' attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration, as demonstrated by multiple studies. However, few studies have examined IPE effects across more than two disciplines. Further investigation is needed to assess its impact on students' attitudes across diverse healthcare fields. This study aimed to evaluate shifts in students' attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration and their perceptions of the intervention's educational value and satisfaction.
methodsThe IPE intervention took place at Erasmus Brussels University of Applied Sciences in Brussels, Belgium between 2021 and 2022. Final-year nursing and midwifery students, along with fourth-year medical students, were randomly assigned to heterogeneous teams to address topics such as Basic and Advanced Life Support. The study used a quasi-experimental design with pre- and post-test evaluations, employing the Interprofessional Education Perception Scale (IEPS) to measure attitude shifts. Additionally, qualitative assessment was conducted using an open-ended question.
resultsA total of 269 healthcare students participated. Significant improvements in competence, autonomy, and perception of collaboration were found post-intervention (p<0.001). Positive attitude shifts were consistent across age, gender, and educational backgrounds. Qualitative data highlighted strong student support for the intervention and recognition of its educational value.
conclusionsThis study underscores the need for structured IPE pathways and early integration into healthcare curricula. It also highlights existing gaps in IPE and offers recommendations for enhancing midwifery education and practice.
