Summary: This systematic review explores the potentialities and limitations of Interprofessional Education (IPE) on the teaching and learning of undergraduate students in the health area. The study reveals that IPE has the potential to enhance learning from each other and about them, increase the value of education and interprofessional practice, and promote patient-centered health care. However, there are also barriers and difficulties related to IPE that need to be addressed.

Summary: This study documents the experience, lessons learned, and future outlook of an online course on Global Health Challenges and One Health. The course faced challenges such as language and technology access barriers, difficulties in scheduling group meetings across different time zones, and high workload per credit in some institutions. However, synchronous activities conducted in small groups, such as debates, journal clubs, and case studies, were found to have a significant impact on the learning process with increased student participation. Some students also reported establishing research and work partnerships with participants from partner institutions. The study highlights the importance of international exchange in improving collaboration between institutions and the development of technical, intercultural, and interdisciplinary competencies through working in small interprofessional groups.

Summary: This study conducted a systematic review to investigate the implementation of IPE in university-based undergraduate curricula, with a focus on teaching and learning approaches. The findings revealed that simulation-based education, e-learning, and problem-based learning were the most common methods used to deliver IPE. Additionally, there was a lack of IPE programs in the Middle East region. The evidence synthesized in this review can support curriculum planners and educators in designing IPE programs.

Summary: This systematic review examines the potential and limitations of Interprofessional Education (IPE) from the perspective of undergraduate students. The study found that most students have a positive perception of IPE, and highlights the need for more robust assessment instruments to measure its impact. Further research is recommended to assess the longitudinal effects of IPE on undergraduate teaching and learning.

Summary: This article presents an integrative review on interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) for community-dwelling older adults, focusing on barriers and facilitators to its success. The analysis of the literature identified several challenging factors for IPCP models, as well as facilitators. The authors emphasize the importance of adapting IPCP models to the care setting and client needs, as well as providing interprofessional education opportunities for team members. Healthcare policies and funding structures should also address IPCP for community-dwelling older adults to ensure its success and sustainability.

Summary: This study explored the behavioral intentions of final-year undergraduate students and new graduate nurses towards medication safety in four countries. The findings indicated that both student nurses and new graduate nurses showed positive attitudes, subjective norms, perceived behavior control, and intentions towards practicing medication safety. However, the differences among countries require further investigation on the factors influencing attitudes towards medication safety among student nurses and new nurse graduates.

Summary: This study compared the differences in stress responses and performance outcomes between desktop virtual reality (VR) and face-to-face simulation training in managing clinical deterioration. The results showed that both desktop VR and face-to-face simulation training significantly increased participants' physiological and psychological stress responses, with no significant differences between the groups. There were also no significant differences in confidence levels and performance outcomes between medical and nursing students in the VR and face-to-face simulation groups. Thus, desktop VR can provide similar performance outcomes as conventional simulation training.

Summary: This study aimed to explore adaptations made to the Clinical Reasoning Cycle (CRC) model for the practice of Forensic Mental Health Nurses (FMHN). Through the Nominal Group Technique, the research team reached consensus on two proposed changes. Nurses identified the need to include offense and risk issues, while also emphasizing the importance of recovery-oriented care. However, there was some reluctance among nurses for the nursing team to "own" the model.

Summary: This study explores interprofessional collaboration in patient education among healthcare professionals. The findings highlight the importance of role clarification, communication infrastructure, shared space for collaboration, interprofessional trust, and organizational support. Developing trustful relationships and providing additional infrastructural support, guidelines, and training are necessary for delivering patient education. Future research could focus on patients' perspectives and optimize their learning needs through a multidisciplinary approach.

Summary: This study examined the association between safety attitudes, quality of care, missed care, nurse staffing levels, and the rate of healthcare-associated infection (HAI) in adult intensive care units (ICUs). The results showed that positive safety culture and better nurse staffing levels can lower the rates of HAIs in ICUs. Higher levels of job satisfaction among ICU nurses, lower proportions of missed nursing care, and higher nurse staffing are associated with lower rates of HAIs.

Summary: This study examined the behavioural, normative, and control beliefs of registered nurses in Saudi Arabia regarding end-of-life care for patients with advanced and life-limiting illnesses. The study also identified the barriers and facilitators they encountered in providing such care. The findings revealed that multidisciplinary team collaboration was seen as the most efficient way to deliver end-of-life care, while discussing end-of-life care with patients or families was believed to lead to feelings of hopelessness. Paradoxically, many nurses held the negative belief that patients at the end of life should receive both curative and palliative care.

Summary: This study aimed to examine the impact of unit safety culture, nursing unit characteristics, and missed care on pressure injury rates in Saudi Arabian hospitals. The results showed that nursing units with higher safety culture scores were associated with lower pressure injury rates and lower nurses' perceptions of the frequency of pressure injuries. Additionally, an increase in the frequency of missed nursing care was linked to higher rates of pressure injuries.
