Abstract

Interprofessional education (IPE) is important for health profession students’ character development. More studies are still needed to measure the perception of the facilitators, especially those who are not faculty members and are less familiar with academia. This study aimed to determine the IPE perception of healthcare professionals working in Surakarta public health facilities who are preparing to facilitate IPE. This was a pilot study where data were obtained through an online survey containing the revised version of the Interdisciplinary Education Perception Scale. The Mann–Whitney U test was used to compare the difference between each variable, and the results were categorized by the participants’ gender, profession, and workplace. A total of 38 healthcare workers participated from a regional general hospital and several community health centers in Surakarta. They consisted of 60.5% female, and the doctor profession as the highest proportion. They generally have a positive perception of IPE, with an overall mean score of 66.07 (SD = 4.97). Furthermore, there was no significant difference between the compared mean scores included in each subscale except between male and female participants in the Perceived Need for Cooperation subscale (p = 0.02). The participants generally have a positive perception of IPE.
