Evaluating the impact of an interprofessional education intervention on health profession students' perceptions and collaborative competencies in Lebanon: a quasi-experimental study.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
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
backgroundWith increasing complexity in patient care, IPE has been proposed to improve interprofessional teamwork and improve outcomes. This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of a structured IPE activity on students' collaborative perceptions and competencies.
methodThis study employed a quasi-experimental pre-post intervention design to assess changes in perceptions and self-reported competencies using validated tools (SPICE-R2 and ICCAS). The IPE intervention comprised a full day didactic sessions and case studies. Paired-samples t-tests, repeated measures ANOVA, and MANCOVA were utilized to assess changes and identify predictors.
resultsA total of 182 students (pharmacy: 66.5%, nutrition: 15.9%, and biomedical sciences: 17.6%) were included, with 154 students (84.6%) responding to the postsurvey. The pre-activity total SPICE-R2 score was moderately high (40.81 ± 6.09), and increased significantly to 45.65 ± 5.61 (p < 0.001) post-activity, with all subscales of interprofessional teamwork, roles and responsibilities, and patient outcomes showing significant improvements (p < 0.001). The pre-activity total ICCAS score was moderately high (73.13 ± 7.35), and increased significantly to 87.51 ± 5.25 (p < 0.001) with the greatest gains observed in communication (+ 4.13), conflict resolution (+ 3.04), and team functioning (+ 2.10). Compared with pharmacy students, nutrition students showed greater improvements in both SPICE-R2 (B = 9.193, p < 0.001) and ICCAS (B = 6.605, p = 0.007) scores. Students with prior health education and IPE exposure reported greater improvements in both SPICE-R2 and ICCAS scores (p < 0.05). Conversely, clinical employment significantly predicted lower gains on the SPICE-R2 (B=-3.136, p = 0.047).
conclusionThe intervention led to significant improvements in interprofessional collaborative perceptions and competencies. Future longitudinal evaluations are needed to assess sustained impact and transfer to clinical practice.
