Theme 1: Personal and Professional Development for Nursing Leader

Description for the program to be taken by a nursing leader

Interprofessional education (IPE) in healthcare entails activities where students from varying professions, such as biomedicine, nutrition, pharmacy, and dentistry, learn to cultivate interprofessional collaboration and communication during professional training. On Monday, 4^th October 2021, I was involved in an online IPE event on Microsoft teams regarding smoking cessation as a potential intervention against tobacco use. The event comprised Dr. Shouq Fahad, an assistant professor in health sciences, and students from different healthcare disciplines. The people in the event interacted through Jamboard.

The IPE event started with an ice-breaking session where all members introduced themselves, their professional roles, and their hobbies and interests. First, Dr. Shouq Fahad introduced himself as the facilitator of the IPE event. Second, he asked all students to introduce themselves, stating their names, professions, hobbies, and interests. Third, he divided students from different medical disciplines into groups because teamwork is vital in health care delivery. Third, he instructed group members to familiarize themselves with their partners.

The introductory session was crucial to understanding the perspectives of different members involved and their likes and dislikes, important in fostering collaboration and communication between other healthcare professionals. Finally, the session ended with Dr. Shouq Fahad’s remarks on the significance of multidisciplinary communication and collaboration in patient care delivery. Interprofessional education promotes communication and cooperation, enhancing professional growth and improving patient health outcomes.

The next session comprised of a discussion about tobacco use and prevention strategies. All members involved in the event had tremendous knowledge to share regarding the effects of tobacco use on a person’s health. For instance, Faizun, one of the IPE activity members, indicated that tobacco use could lead to diseases, such as lung disease, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, and chronic obstructive disorder (COPD). Tobacco use also causes adverse health effects, including addiction, dependence, and increases the likelihood of developing tuberculosis.

In addition, I explained to the group that tobacco use was one of the leading health problems in Qatar. Moreover, Fatima indicated that inadequate regulation was the reason behind the high prevalence of tobacco use in Africa compared to America and Europe. Abdulla, another member of the IPE event, stated that risk factors of tobacco use included age, education, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status.

The group discussed medications that help a person to stop using tobacco, including Chantix and Zyban. Furthermore, we analyzed various global initiatives for smoking cessation, including warning labels, age restriction, tobacco prevention campaigns, changing how smoking is portrayed on social media, and banning smoking in public areas. The IPE event helped me to realize the significance of incorporating different professions in smoking cessation.

Finally, we discussed Ms. Saleh’s case study involving smoking cessation. Ms. Saleh is a 48-year-old female who uses six to eight cigarettes per day. Her father, a smoker, died six months ago, motivating her to quit smoking. Dr. Shouq Fahad asked the group to develop a smoking cessation strategy summarizing critical points in the Jamboard.

We started by asking Ms. Saleh questions regarding her smoking problem using the 5A’s strategy: asking the patient regarding her tobacco use, advising her to quit, assessing her readiness to quit, assisting her in stopping smoking, and arranging follow-up care. We did not use 5 Rs (Relevance, Risks, Rewards, Roadblocks, and Repetition) to convince Ms. Saleh to quit smoking because she was already motivated. We wrote what we learned from the IPE session and the significance of interprofessional collaboration in smoking cessation interventions.

A nursing leader must appreciate advancement of their education
