【Purpose】This study aims to evaluate the effect of under- and post- graduate inter-professional education （IPE）s to inter-professional work （IPW） during nursing. 【Methods】 We provided a self-administered questionnaire to 2625 nurses on their background and experience of IPE and “Recognition” and “Practice” for “Competency of IPW （38 items）.” 【Results】 Responses of 1791 nurses （68.3%） were analyzed. “Recognition” was significantly higher than “Practice.” Under- and post- graduate IPEs were effective for “Values/Ethics,” however, postgraduate IPE was also effective for “Role/Responsibility,” “Communication,” and “Teamwork” of “Practice.” Under- plus post- graduate educations were more effective for “practice.” 【Discussion & Conclusion】 We conclude that continuous under- and post- graduate IPEs were required to effective IPW on nurses.
