6 95 Interprofessional skills and motivation one year after IPE RESULTS Group characteristics A total number of 127 students were included in the study. In both, UPE and IPE groups, the majority was female, which reflects the gender distribution in both medical (≈70%) and nursing curricula (≈90%) in the Netherlands (CBS, 2016; Paauw, 2023). Gender, age and the proportion of nursing students versus medical students was not statistically different between both groups (Table 6.1). Table 6.1: Group characteristics at T1 Uniprofessional Education N=68 Interprofessional Education N=61 p-value Nursing students n(%) 28 (41%) 30 (49%) 0.381 Female n(%) 57 (84%) 43 (71%) 0.091 Age, years (±sd) 21.8 (±2.7) 21.0 (±2.6) 0.080 Prior IPE experience n(%) 5 (7%) 4 (6%) 1.000 % Nursing students, % Female, % prior IPE experience: Fisher’s exact Age: Independent samples T-test At T2 and T3 not all included students filled out the SRQ-A and at T3 not all students filled out the ICCAS. At T2 students received the questionnaire in the classroom, but at two session the questionnaire was not handed out or students forgot to fill it out (missing n=25). At T3 the questionnaires were sent by email. Despite multiple reminders, not all students responded to the mail (missing n=68). It could be that some students at T2 or T3 had already quit their educational program, but because of privacy reasons we were not kept informed about their personal circumstances. The proportion of nursing versus medical students that responded to the questionnaires at T3, between the UPE and IPE groups differed (Figure 6.3).
