Abstract:Objective To explore the application effect of interprofessional education (IPE) model in vocational training of radiographers in cardiac catheterization room. Methods Ten radiographers working in the Cardiac Catheterization Room, West China Hospital, Sichuan University (hereinafter referred to as “our hospital”) from September 2018 to February 2019 were selected as the research objects, and 20 doctors or nurses working in the cardiac catheterization room of our hospital during the same period were randomly selected to participate in the questionnaire survey. IPE model was used to teach radiographers for a period of six months. Before and after the teaching and training, the radiographers were evaluated theoretically and operationally, and the radiographers were self-evaluated on the teaching effect. According to the questionnaire survey results of doctors and nurses, the team cooperation of radiographers was evaluated. Results The theoretical scores, operational scores and total scores of radiographers after IPE teaching and training were higher than those before IPE teaching and training, with statistical significance (all P < 0.05). After the completion of IPE teaching and training, radiographers have published many articles and patented many inventions. The self-evaluation scores of self-confidence, knowledge, clinical experience, teamwork and scientific research ability of radiographers after IPE teaching and training were all higher than those before the teaching and training, with statistical significance (all P < 0.05). Clinical skills, cooperation evaluation and team relationship scores of radiographers after IPE teaching and training were higher than those before the teaching and training, with statistical significance (all P < 0.05). Conclusion The rational application of IPE model in the vocational training of radiographers in cardiac catheterization room not only helps to improve the clinical skills, psychological quality and scientific research ability of the technicians, but also strengthens the cooperation tacit understanding and cohesion of the surgical team in cardiac catheterization room.
