Outline of Final Research Achievements

In this study, we developed a scale to evaluate the practice of interprofessional collaboration aimed at supporting the independence of stroke survivors. Additionally, we examined the impact of the quality of interprofessional collaboration on the outcomes of stroke survivors. The "Therapist Collaborative Practice Scale (TCPS)" developed in this study is designed to assess the interprofessional collaboration practices of therapists in rehabilitation wards during the recovery phase. A retrospective cohort study using the TCPS suggested the effectiveness of interprofessional collaboration for stroke survivors requiring less self-care assistance at admission.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

本研究により開発されたTCPSを用いることにより，これまで不明瞭とされてきた多職種連携の質を評価することができる．また，本研究結果から，患者に提供される多職種連携による支援の質が患者の転帰に影響を及ぼす可能性が示唆された．これらの結果は，臨床現場の医療従事者を対象とした多職種連携教育（Interprofessional Education: IPE）の重要性を強調している．今後十分な検証を要するが，TCPSは，多職種連携を客観的に評価でき，IPEの効果の比較を可能にすることが想定される．
