abstract = {Background: Inter-professional and interpersonal relationships in collaborative work
environments can prove to be critical elements in healthcare practice. When
implementers fail to understand the importance of a collaborative perspective, this can
lead to communication problems which ultimately harm the users.
Objectives: To improve the inter-professional collaborative work skills of Mexican
students in their first year of medical and nursing degrees through the use of a training
program geared toward development of interpersonal skills and interdisciplinary work. Results: The control group of medical students showed a deterioration in the
development of collaborative work skills (p < 0.01), whereas in the experimental group
this deterioration was not present. In the experimental group of nursing students, a
significant increase in the development of collaborative work skills (p < 0.05) was
observed. The differences were clearly due to the professional area of study (p < 0.001).
Conclusion: There are differences in collaborative work skill development among
different professional areas. These differences can be reduced through the
implementation of a program aimed at developing collaborative work and interpersonal
skills in the early stages of training.},
