| Abstract | Introduction: Team building is a real-world necessity in military and civilian health care settings. Interprofessional education (IPE) is therefore an essential component of health care education. At the Uniformed Services University, there are continued, deliberate attempts for IPE to occur to successfully prepare students to work together and adapt to ever-changing contexts. Although past quantitative research has analyzed interprofessional collaboration among military medical students, this study explores the interprofessional experiences of family nurse practitioner (FNP) students during a military medical field practicum. Materials and methods: This study was reviewed by the Uniformed Services University Human Research Protections Program Office (Protocol DBS.2021.257). We used the qualitative transcendental phenomenological approach to design our study. We analyzed the reflection papers of 20 family nurse practitioner students who participated in Operation Bushmaster in order to explore their interprofessional experiences. Our research team coded and categorized the data, developing textural and structural descriptions of these categories, which served as the results of our study. Results: We present the study's three key findings that students expressed and include perspectives from their viewpoints to illustrate each theme. The three themes related to IPE are (1) quality of integration determines perception of experience, (2) challenges inspire continued growth, and (3) increased self-awareness of one's own strengths. Conclusions: It is important for educators and leaders to find ways to allow for positive team integration and cohesion so that students do not feel overwhelmed by their perceived lack of knowledge or experience. Educators can use that perception to motivate a growth mindset so that they can continually seek out ways to improve and grow. Additionally, educators can prepare students with adequate knowledge to ensure that each team member meets mission success. Finally, to continually develop, students need to have awareness of their own strengths as well as areas for growth to enhance their own performance as well as that of the military interprofessional health care teams. |
