Abstract

The purpose of this quantitative study was to examine the interprofessional learning (IPL) orientations of registered nurses (RNs) returning to school to further their education. Among RNs, there was an association between the IPL mean score and the self-efficacy mean score. Participants on average scored similar IPL (4.032) and self-efficacy (3.820) mean scores. In addition, the standard deviations of IPL (0.763) and self-efficacy (0.673) were similar, indicating that there was an association between these two variables. The study also explored the relationships between interprofessional learning orientation (IPLO) and career variables, age, tenure in the field of nursing, workplace, and program of study. The data revealed that increased values of three of these variables (age, self-efficacy, and the dummy-coded variable representing the Masters of Science in Nursing (MSN)) were significantly associated with higher IPLOs. The other variables (tenure in the field of nursing and workplace) presented a less significant association. The former three variables allowed for a better prediction regarding the interaction between the student and IPL training.
