Objectives

Narrative objectives1

The objective of this study is to evaluate changes in participants' self-rated confidence and skills in activities related to communication with patients and families and interprofessional collaboration, as well as changes in moral distress measured using the Japanese version of the Measure of Moral Distress for Healthcare Professionals (MMD-HP), before and after participation in IMPACT-IPE in Japan, an interprofessional education program consisting of pre-workshop e-learning and a workshop. In addition, changes in care processes and clinical outcomes among patients admitted to the ICU before and after implementation of the program will be explored.

Assessment

Primary outcomes

Change in the score on the IMPACT-IPE self-assessment scale, which assesses activities related to communication with patients and families and interprofessional collaboration, from baseline before starting the IMPACT-IPE in Japan program to 3 months after completion of the workshop.

Key secondary outcomes

1. Change in the total score of the Japanese version of the Measure of Moral Distress for Healthcare Professionals (MMD-HP) from baseline before implementation of the program (before starting the e-learning) to 3 months after completion of the workshop.
2. Changes from baseline in the IMPACT-IPE self-assessment scale score and the total score of the Japanese version of the MMD-HP within 1 week and at 1 and 6 months after completion of the workshop.
3. Monthly number of interprofessional conferences per 1,000 ICU patient-days before and after implementation of the program.
4. Proportion of ICU admission episodes with an ICU length of stay of 5 days or longer in which at least one interprofessional conference was conducted during the ICU stay.
5. ICU length of stay, status at ICU discharge, hospital length of stay, and status at hospital discharge before and after implementation of the program.

Interventions/Control_1

Participants will receive IMPACT-IPE in Japan, an interprofessional education program consisting of pre-workshop e-learning and a synchronous online workshop. The e-learning materials will take approximately 20 minutes in total and will be completed before the workshop. The 90-minute workshop will be conducted via Zoom and will include interprofessional discussion, role-play, and reflection using case scenarios and simulation videos. Each participant will attend the workshop once in principle. Each session will include approximately 5 to 10 participants and, in principle, participants from multiple professions.
