摘要目的：确定保健专业学生和合格的卫生专业人员对跨学科卫生工作者团队的知识，态度和看法。设计：横断面描述性研究。单位：斯泰伦博斯大学（泰格伯格校区）和泰格伯格学术医院，西开普省。主题：样本（n = 529）包括一年级的学生，最后一年的学生和工作的专业人员在医学，营养学，物理治疗，职业治疗和言语语言和听力治疗领域。结果测量：自我管理，面部验证问卷。结果如下：与一年级学生相比，最后一年级学生对每个专业的理解都有所增加。然而，当工作的专业人士的理解相比，最后一年的学生，这种改善并不明显。结果表明，在联合健康科学的实践范围的理解增加（p值= 0.001），并同意，患者将始终受益于跨学科的方法。结果发现，更好的患者预后与跨学科团队提供的护理密切相关。这种关联从一年级学生到最后一年级学生都有增加（p值= 0.019）。在跨学科团队中，医生被认为是最有价值的。联合健康科学获得了可比的价值评级。经验越丰富，参与者就越不愿意承担另一个学科的角色。营养师的角色的知识从一年级的学生增加到最后一年的学生（p值= 0.001），但它仍然是相同的专业人士。结论：根据多年的经验，保健专业学生和专业人员的态度和看法有所增加，并发生了积极的变化。
Abstract Objective: To determine the knowledge, attitudes and perceptions of healthcare students and qualified health professionals regarding the interdisciplinary health worker team. Design: A cross-sectional descriptive study. Setting: Stellenbosch University (Tygerberg Campus) and Tygerberg Academic Hospital, Western Cape. Subjects: The sample (n = 529) consisted of first-year students, final-year students and working professionals in the fields of medicine, dietetics, physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech-language and hearing therapy. Outcome measures: Self-administered, face-validated questionnaire. Results: There was an increase in knowledge in the final-year students when compared to the first-year students of their understanding of each profession. However, this improvement was not apparent when the working professionals’ understanding was compared to the final-year students. The results indicated an increase in understanding of the scope of practice of allied health sciences (p-value = 0.001), and agreement that the patient would always benefit from an interdisciplinary approach. It was found that better patient prognosis was strongly associated with the care provided by an interdisciplinary team. This association increased from first-year students to final-year students (p-value = 0.019). Doctors were considered to be most valuable in the interdisciplinary team. The allied health sciences received comparable value ratings. The more advanced the years of experience, the less comfortable participants were to assume some of the roles of another discipline. Knowledge of the role of the dietitian increased from first-year students to final-year students (p-value = 0.001), but it remained the same for the professionals. Conclusion: There was an increase in knowledge and a positive change in the attitudes and perceptions of healthcare students and professionals in accordance with years of experience.
