Interprofessionelle Lehre zum Thema Demenz und Delir
摘要
The increase in age-associated cognitive disorders presents particular challenges for inpatient care. An effective interprofessional collaboration is fundamental for patient care and is particularly crucial for the management of patients with delirium. Interprofessional education (IPE) can improve the understanding of other professions and one’s own role during training.
ObjectivesThe development of an interprofessional teaching course (LV) in the interdisciplinary area (QB) 7 “Medicine of aging and elderly people” aims to introduce various healthcare professions to the care of older adults with dementia and delirium.
MethodsThe development of the course is based on the National Competence-Based Learning Objectives Catalogue for Medicine (NKLM 2.0). The Interactive, constructive, active, passive (ICAP) model was used to structure the teaching methods. The evaluation was carried out using questionnaires consisting of 23 Likert-scaled items on the organization, structure, interprofessionalism and overall assessment of the course.
ResultsAn interprofessional course with a duration of 240 min for up to 40 participants from 5 professional groups was developed and implemented in 12 courses. A total of 358 students and trainees participated. Of the participants 281 (78.5%) completed the questionnaire. Based on the German grading system, the course received an overall grade of 2.0 (“good”).
DiscussionThe topic of “dementia and delirium” is well suited for IPE, as all participating professions care for this patient population and could enrich each other with their expertise. Structural optimization is needed regarding time management and didactics.
