Introduction: Systematic and meta-analysis of quantitative and qualitative studies that assessed the effect of IPE on teamwork and communication. These findings evaluate the potential qualities of IPE in the healthcare context.
Methods: In the literature review, 25 studies were developed through electronic databases and manual searches, and a total of 2,500 relevant articles were identified. The meta-analysis of 15 studies with a relative sample size of 1800 participants.
Results: The results of the literature review, including the meta-analysis, were grouped into three overarching themes: Strategies for IPE, Aspects of IPE, and Difficulties of IPE.
Conclusions: To sum up, this study has shown positive results regarding IPE's impact on teamwork and communication in the health services environment. The study conclusions indicate that IPE methods can support a more collaborative and patient-centered style of health care.
