Abstract
AIMS:
This study aims to explore healthcare professionals' perceptions of Inter-professional Practice (IPP) in a tertiary setting and to identify training and collaboration gaps to enhance team dynamics, communication, and patient outcomes in specialized healthcare.
Methods:
A cross-sectional study was conducted from January to June 2024 on 100 healthcare professionals (from medicine and allied, surgery and allied, gynecology, pediatrics, and basic sciences) working at Rawalpindi Medical University and its allied hospitals after obtaining ethical approval and informed consent. Data was collected through non-random convenience sampling. Participants completed a closed-ended questionnaire featuring the Inter-professional Socialization and Valuing Scale (ISVS) via Google Forms, with clear instructions provided. SPSS version 27 was used for data analysis, applying descriptive statistics.
Results:
The study results indicated that participants acknowledged the benefits of inter-professional collaboration. The highest scores were associated with a strong belief in their "self-perceived ability to work with others." Following closely was a high recognition of the "value in working with others," while the lowest scores reflected their comfort level in collaborating with others. Experience was found to positively influence both comfort and the perceived value of working collaboratively. By harnessing the collective expertise of diverse healthcare professionals, a more cohesive and effective care environment can be created.
Conclusion:
Healthcare professionals highly value interprofessional collaboration, particularly in teamwork and communication. Experience improved comfort and perceived value in collaboration, underscoring the importance of cultivating a collaborative mindset. Addressing these gaps through targeted training could enhance team dynamics and improve patient care in specialized settings.

Key words: Health Personnel, Inter-professional Education, Socialization, Professional Practice, Inter-professional Relations, Tertiary Healthcare.
