The purpose of this study is to examine the relationships among specific variables identified in research literature as obstacles and benefits to interprofessional collaboration-- academic education, interprofessional education, teamwork & communication skills, and trust-- as it relates to the participation of clergypersons in interprofessional collaborative practice. The sample consisted of ordained Christian clergypersons in Florida. The participants were asked to voluntarily complete a survey questionnaire. In order to adequately address the objective, standard multiple regression analysis was applied to analyze the data. The model of four variables can account for 25% of the variation of interprofessional collaborative practice. Stepwise regression was used to analyze significant influences in the model. The results revealed that the education (academic and interprofessional) variables explained significantly 20% of the variance of interprofessional collaborative practice. Clinical implications are discussed; this includes exploring opportunities to enhance clergypersons' interprofessional education experience. / A Dissertation Submitted to the Department of Family and Child Sciences in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of
