Facteurs associés à l’implantation d’un programme de formation interprofessionnelle au sein d’un Centre de santé et de services sociaux au Québec
INTRODUCTION: Interprofessional collaboration emerged as one of the key aspects that have to be consolidated to improve the organization of primary care and to ensure an appropriate access to available resources. In order to increase interprofessional collaboration, it has been suggested that health sciences professionals should be trained in an interdisciplinary fashion, especially during clinical training.  OBJECTIVES: The aim of this research is to measure the degree of implementation of an initiative in interprofessional education (IPE) which takes place in the Health and social service centre (HSSC) studied, as compared to the initially proposed model. Furthermore, the objective of this research is to understand how systemic factors, organizational factors and the training program’s attributes influence the IPE initiative’s implementation. METHODS: This is a case study based on an HSSC located in the greater Montreal region in Quebec, Canada. Data was collected through 11 semi-structured interviews performed with professionals and administrators responsible for the IPE initiative’s implementation, together with one student who participated in the IPE initiative during his clinical training. An analysis of administrative and clinical documents regarding the IPE initiative’s implementation was also performed.  RESULTS: The implementation of the IPE initiative is still an ongoing process as it is showed by the medium-high presence of the different elements which define the IPE implementation and the generally low intensity of these elements. Systemic factors, organizational factors and the training program’s attributes influence the implementation of the IPE initiative in a clinical setting and there is an interaction between all of these factors. An analysis of the different factors influencing the implementation of an IPE initiative in a clinical setting should also consider the different factors influencing the development of collaborative practice in this environment.
