BACKGROUND: The oral-systemic connection is a critical yet under-addressed component of geriatric care, despite the high burden of oral disease and preventable morbidity among older adults. Interprofessional education (IPE) offers a strategy to strengthen team-based communication, clarify professional roles, and support collaborative preventive care.
OBJECTIVES: To describe the development and implementation of a joint nursing-dental IPE session integrating geriatric oral health, oral cancer screening, and vaccination content, and to evaluate students' post-session perceptions of interprofessional collaboration using the Student Perceptions of Interprofessional Clinical Education-Revised (SPICE-R) instrument.
METHODS: A 2-hour, case-based IPE session was delivered to 73 predoctoral dental students and 4 graduate nursing students from two institutions using a flipped-classroom model with pre-work, skills-based instruction, and interprofessional case planning. Learner perceptions were assessed post-session using the validated 10-item SPICE-R instrument. Descriptive statistics summarized responses, and internal consistency was measured using Cronbach's alpha.
RESULTS: Seventy-seven learners completed the post-session survey. Mean item scores ranged from 3.70 to 4.34 on a 5-point Likert scale. The mean total SPICE-R score was 41.78 ± 8.77. Subscale mean scores were 4.22 ± 0.96 for Teamwork and Team-Based Practice, 4.18 ± 0.86 for Roles and Responsibilities, and 4.12 ± 0.91 for Patient Outcomes from Collaborative Practice. Internal consistency was excellent (α = 0.97).
CONCLUSIONS: This educational session demonstrated feasibility and was associated with favorable post-session perceptions of interprofessional collaboration. However, findings should be interpreted cautiously because the evaluation primarily reflects dental student perceptions due to the substantial imbalance in professional representation.
