Randomized trial evaluates collaboration in preventive care for older adults through interprofessional education sessions.

The aim is to develop and evaluate a joint nursing-dental IPE session focusing on geriatric oral health and collaboration.
A 2-hour interprofessional session delivered to 73 dental and 4 nursing students using a flipped-classroom model.
Post-session perceptions assessed using the SPICE-R instrument with descriptive statistics and Cronbach’s alpha for consistency measurement.
Seventy-seven learners completed the post-session survey.
Mean total SPICE-R score was 41.78 ± 8.77 on a 5-point scale.
Subscale mean scores were 4.22 for Teamwork, 4.18 for Roles and Responsibilities, and 4.12 for Patient Outcomes.
Internal consistency of the instrument was excellent at α = 0.97.
