About the ISVS

There is a need for measures of interprofessional socialization (IS) to investigate the role of interprofessional education in preparing health care students and practitioners to take part in interprofessional health care teams. The ISVS is a self-report measure. It asks you about your beliefs, behaviours, and attitudes when you when you work with colleagues from other disciplines.

The 21-item Interprofessional Socialization and Valuing Scale (ISVS-21) is a refined measure (from a previously published 24-item measure) that can be used with practitioners and students. This is available in English and German. Healthcare practitioners or students complete the ISVS themselves. Click here to access the ISVS-21 or bundle both tools below.

These two equivalent 9-item forms (ISVS-9A and ISVS-9B) can be used for pre-post study to assess change in IS after interprofessional education.
