Abstract
Background :
Interprofessional education improves nurses' knowledge and thus improves the quality of medical services and patient care. Considering that there are no necessary training courses in the field of medical imaging in the curriculum of the undergraduate course, it seems that nurses' learning in this regard reduces the mental stress of the nurse and the patient to perform the imaging process and increase the success of proper imaging. Which can lead to timely and correct diagnosis of the disease. The aim of this study was to determine the needs and extent of nurses' learning about the concepts, applications and risks of medical imaging methods and based on the needs assessment conducted by nurses in the form of in-service training courses.
Conclusion:
The results of this study showed that the ADDIE model and its evaluation structure were suitable for interprofessional learning of nurses in the field of medical imaging. In the context of "Imaging Concepts", the educational needs of nurses in the field of imaging, the existing problems in the field of interprofessional education, the importance of knowledge of the content and the learning environment of these skills were obtained. Despite the use of interprofessional education approach for thirty years at the international level and especially in developed countries, given the fact that there is still no accurate knowledge of this educational approach in the health education system in Iran and few studies to identify it. It has been done to the health community of the country and also the above-average readiness of learners for this style of education was effective and its positive consequences were significant, so using this model to design and implement continuing education and empowerment courses is recommended.
