Shaping interprofessional identity and attitudes: scenario-based training in oral-systemic patient management.
Article in BMC medical education, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundInterprofessional education (IPE) prepares health professionals for collaborative practice, yet dentistry, medicine, and nursing in Türkiye are predominantly taught in disciplinary silos. Scenario-based learning (SBL) provides authentic, context-rich experiences that can enhance interprofessional identity, attitudes, and teamwork, particularly for oral-systemic health management. This study aimed to evaluate the impact of a one-day SBL-based IPE program on extended professional identity, dual identity, and interprofessional attitudes among health professions students.
methodsA quantitative, quasi-experimental design was used with 24 dentistry, medical, and nursing students. The intervention, developed using Kern's six-step approach, comprised two oral-systemic health scenarios, structured debriefings, and short lectures. Validated Turkish versions of the Extended Professional Identity Scale (EPIS-TR), Dual Identity Scale (DIS-TR), and Interprofessional Attitudes Scale (IPAS-TR) were administered pre- and post-intervention. Data were analyzed using Wilcoxon signed-rank tests, Spearman correlations, and importance-performance analysis (IPA).
resultsPost-intervention, EPIS-TR scores increased significantly for Belonging, Commitment, Belief, and the total score (p < 0.05). DIS-TR showed significant gains in Interprofessional Belonging, Professional Belonging, Dual Identity Achievement, Cross-Disciplinary Stereotype, and total score (p < 0.05). For IPAS-TR, significant improvements occurred in Teamwork, Roles, and Responsibilities and the total score (p < 0.05). Correlation analysis indicated strong positive associations between EPIS and IPAS (ρ = 0.56, p < 0.001), and moderate correlations between EPIS-DIS (ρ = 0.45, p = 0.001) and IPAS-DIS (ρ = 0.42, p = 0.003). IPA revealed performance gains across all competencies, with teamwork, ethics, and communication rated high in both importance and performance. National and institutional awareness of IPE remained high in importance but lower in performance, suggesting areas for further development.
conclusionsA single-day, scenario-based IPE intervention significantly improved interprofessional identity and selected attitudes among health professions students in Türkiye. Enhancements in belonging, commitment, and teamwork demonstrate that short, structured SBL activities can bridge disciplinary divides, clarify roles, and strengthen readiness for collaborative, patient-centered care. Incorporating such interventions into core curricula and aligning accreditation standards with interprofessional competencies could support the integration of oral health into holistic healthcare delivery.
