Background: In interprofessional education (IPE) with problem-based learning (PBL), commonly termed interprofessional PBL (IPBL), students from various health professions engage in small group discussions facilitated by tutors. The group dynamics can be compromised by various critical incidents, potentially leading to group dysfunction. Objective: This study aimed to develop an instructional audiovisual tool that illustrates critical incidents within IPE discussions, designed to enhance tutors' ability to identify and effectively intervene in these situations. Methods: A two-phase research and development study was conducted, preceded by a qualitative study to identify potential critical incidents in IPE discussion. The first phase involved developing audiovisual media based on qualitative findings. In the second phase, a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) was conducted with five experienced IPE tutors to identify the critical incidents portrayed in the video and giving feedback to formulate appropriate interventions. Results: The audiovisual tool portrayed three primary critical incidents: professional stereotyping initiated by the tutor, imbalanced participation among group members, and pseudo-collaboration during a report-writing task. This tool was also provided with possible interventions for each situation. The FGD results indicated that all five tutors successfully identified the three incidents. They concurred with the proposed interventions, which included maintaining neutrality to avoid professional stereotypes, managing balanced participation, and fostering true collaboration through clear task delegation. Conclusion: The audiovisual tool is effective for helping tutors identify critical incidents in IPE discussions. This tool will be utilized to provide tutors with practical experience before facilitating IPE sessions.
