Abstract
Healthcare providers are challenged with keeping abreast of new developments in prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of disease, while facing rapidly evolving guidelines and busy schedules. The purpose of this Doctor of Nursing Practice project was to implement a 5-month interprofessional clinic education program using a journal club format at an integrative medical clinic in Honolulu, Hawaii to increase health professionals’ current knowledge, literature reading, self-reported application of evidence to practice, and participation in discussion and awareness of interprofessional approaches. The effect of the clinic education program was evaluated with pre- and post-program surveys using the 5-point Likert scale. Additionally, journal club methods were evaluated following each journal club using the 5-point Likert scale. Additional questions were asked following the program to assess attendance, most and least beneficial factors, and interest in program continuation. Unique characteristics of this journal club are the inclusion of administrative staff members in addition to health professionals, and to report success with a relatively short 20-minute journal club meeting time. The findings reported here are broadly applicable and indicate that clinics may adapt to meet the needs of their unique setting and realize the benefits.
