Marriage and Family Therapists' Perspectives of Working With Couples Impacted by Aphasia: General Perceptions and Response to Relationship-Centered Communication Partner TrainingChristensen, Madison Rae 28 March 2024 (has links) (PDF)
The psychosocial needs of couples impacted by aphasia are often unmet. Sixty-one marriage and family therapists' (MFTs) experiences, perceived knowledge, confidence, comfort, and barriers in working with couples impacted by aphasia, and their interactions with speech-language pathologists (SLPs) were investigated using survey methodology. All MFTs were licensed, practicing in the US, and had at least 3 years of experience. Participants completed the following in order: (a) a pre-intervention survey, (b) one of two intervention conditions, and (c) a post-intervention survey. Twenty-eight respondents were randomly assigned to an education-alone intervention and 33 respondents were assigned to an education plus Relationship-Centered Communication Partner Training program (RC-CPT). The results of the present study suggest that MFTs who participated in this survey consider providing therapy to couples impacted by aphasia to fall within their scope of practice and already feel comfortable with various skills needed to provide therapy to this population. Aphasia education alone and education plus RC-CPT can both improve MFTs' knowledge, confidence, and comfort in working with couples impacted by aphasia but being shown a model of RC-CPT likely helped MFTs better visualize therapy, which bolstered changes in respondents' perceptions. Future development of RC-CPT should prioritize MFT involvement as collaborators and consultants. Continuing education courses and interprofessional collaboration are needed to better address the psychosocial needs of people with aphasia (PWA) from an interdisciplinary perspective.

Spiller yrkesbakgrunn og rolle en rolle? : En kvalitativ studie om kommunikasjon i det tverrfaglige folkehelsearbeidet. / Professional background and roles : A qualitative study of communication in the interprofessional collaboration of public healthTysland, Kjersti Høibø January 2012 (has links)
Bakgrunn: Forskning viser at tverrfaglig samarbeid er vanskelig. Folkehelsearbeid er sektorovergripene og krever ofte at ulike fag og sektorer samarbeider. Hensikt:Formålet med denne studien er å få større innsikt i hva roller og yrkesbakgrunn betyr for kommunikasjonen i samarbeideti folkehelse. Metode:Studien har benyttet triangulering som strategi med dokumentgranskning, tre teamobservasjoner og 12 individuelle semistrukturerte intervju. Det er benyttet en fenomenografisk tilnærming til analyse av intervjuene. Resultat: Dokumentgranskningen ga forståelse for sammensetningen i de observerte teamene.Observasjonen ga rom for å analysere den muntlige kommunikasjonen og metakommunikasjonen, mens intervjuene ga innblikk i kommunikasjonen som helhet og dens kompeksitet. Intervjuanalysen ga de fire hovedkategoriene; Representasjon av yrker og sektorer,Deltakere som samarbeider i team, Person og menneske i samarbeidet og Betydning av helhet. I analysen kom det fram at yrkesbakgrunn har betydning for kommunikasjon og samarbeid. En er preget av faget som yrkesutøver. Ulik kompetanse og bredde i representasjon bidrar til en rikere diskusjon og et breiere grunnlag for løsninger. Mange av faktorene var ellers uavhengig av yrke og kunne heller relateres til egenskaper hos den enkelte. Evne til å se utover eget fag og ha forståelse for betydningen av andre yrkesgrupper er vesentlig. Konklusjon: Studien viser tverrfaglig samarbeid og kommunikasjon som fungerer og synliggjorde betydningen av trygge fagpersoner med blikk for helhet og evne til refleksjon. Funnenepeker på ulike faktorer av betydning for roller og kommunikasjon slik som tillit, respekt, likeverd, læring og åpenhet. Rollen og hvordan den bekles harbetydning for kommunikasjonen. Yrkesbagrunnen får betydning gjennom den enkelte deltaker og dennes rolle,men da som en del av hele personenmed sine egenskaper, sin personlighet og innstilling. Folkehelsearbeid er et område ingen eier men alle har del i og ansvar for. / Background:Research shows that interdisciplinary collaboration is difficult. Public health work spansmany sectors and demands collaboration among different professionsand sectors. Purpose:This study aimed to gain greater insight into the impact of roles and professional backgrounds on communication in the collaborative process of public health. Method:This study used a triangulation strategy involving document analysis, three observations and 12 semi-structured interviews. A phenomenographic approach was used to analyze the interviews. Result: Document analysis enhanced understanding of the composition of the teams observedin this study. The observations allowed for analysis of verbal communication as wellas meta-communication, and the interviews offeredinsight into communication both as an entiretyandinits complexities. Interviewanalysis produced four main categories:representationof professionals and sectors, participants who collaborate in teams, the individual and the human in collaboration,and the meaning of the whole. Analysis showed that professional background plays a significantrole incommunication and collaboration (i.e.aperson is characterized by his/her profession). Differences in competence and breadth ofrepresentation contribute to richer discussion and a wider ground forsolutions. Many of the factors that emerged were otherwise independent ofprofession and related instead to individual characteristics.The ability to see beyond one`sown profession and understand the importance of other professional groups is essential. Conclusion: The study shows functionality of interprofessional collaboration and communication,it’s revealingthe meaning of confidentprofessionals who areable to see the big pictureand reflect upon its meaning. The findings point to various factors that are important for roles and communication such astrust, respect, dignity, learning and openness. Roles and their interpretation are important incommunication. Professional background derivesmeaningnot only through the individual participant andhis/herrole, but also through his/her properties, personality and perspectives.

Ambulanssjuksköterskors och barnmorskors upplevelse av att samarbeta vid prehospitala förlossningar / Ambulance nurses' and Midwives' Experiences of Collaborating at Prehospital BirthsJonsson, Linda January 2016 (has links)
Bakgrund: Prehospitala förlossningar är en sällsynt förekommande händelse, men när så sker är ambulanssjuksköterskor med i 90 % av fallen. Ambulanssjuksköterskor har en begränsad utbildning i förlossningssjukvård och samarbete med barnmorskor förekommer på olika sätt. Syfte: Att beskriva ambulanssjuksköterskors och barnmorskors upplevelse av samarbetet i samband med prehospitala förlossningar. Metod: En kvalitativ studie gjordes vid tre ambulansstationer och två förlossningskliniker. Studien genomfördes genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med totalt 7 sjuksköterskor i ambulans som vid ett eller flera tillfällen samarbetat med barnmorska vid prehospital förlossning samt 6 barnmorskor som vid ett eller flera tillfällen på något sätt varit behjälplig till ambulanssjuksköterska vid prehospital förlossning. Intervjuerna spelades in, transkriberades och analyserades med kvalitativ tematisk innehållsanalys. Resultat: Analysen resulterade i två teman med tre kategorier i varje. Första temat var Att samarbete och respekt med patientfokus ger trygghet i ovan situation och kategorierna i temat var; Att samarbeta för föräldrarnas bästa, Att ha respekt för varandras professioner och kunskap och Att känna trygghet. Det andra temat var Att se utvecklingsmöjligheter för ökad kunskap och bättre förutsättningar för samarbete med följande kategorier; Att ha behov av kunskap om förlossning och en vilja att förmedla den, Att ha behov av rutiner och riktlinjer och Att ha behov av teknisk utveckling. Slutsats: Både ambulanssjuksköterskorna och barnmorskorna är positiva till samarbete och vill utveckla detta. Ambulanssjuksköterskorna upplever trygghet och ett stöd i samarbetet med barnmorskorna och vill lära sig mer om förlossningsvård. Barnmorskorna är förstående och vill finnas till hands för ambulanssjuksköterskorna och de välkomnar hospitering. Forskningsimplikationer: I studien beskrivs långa avstånd till förlossningsklinik, relaterat till centralisering. Det framkommer också om förändring av utrustning i ambulanserna. Det skulle behövas mer forskning kring hur detta påverkar upplevelsen för ambulans-sjuksköterskorna, upplevelsen för den födande kvinnan och hur detta påverkar säkerheten för förlossningsvården.

Prática interprofissional colaborativa e clima do trabalho em equipe na Atenção Primária à Saúde / Interprofessional collaborative practice and team climate in Primary Health CareAgreli, Heloise Lima Fernandes 07 March 2017 (has links)
Introdução: Nas organizações de saúde, a Prática Interprofissional Colaborativa (PIC) e Clima do Trabalho em Equipe (CTE) são essenciais para promoção do cuidado integrado e melhoria na qualidade da assistência em saúde. Entretanto, a implementação da PIC tem se mostrado um desafio, com lacuna de conhecimentos relacionados a sua operacionalização no âmbito do Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS). Assim como a PIC, o CTE preocupa-se com aspectos relacionais e organizacionais do trabalho interprofissional. Poucas investigações têm explorado a relação entre PIC e CTE. Este estudo considera as implicações do CTE para a PIC, destaca as ligações teóricas e empíricas entre os dois, e sugere como o CTE pode ter um papel na compreensão e operacionalização da PIC. Objetivo geral: Analisar a PIC em equipes de Atenção Primária à Saúde (APS) com diferentes perfis de CTE. Método: estudo de método misto sequencial explanatório (quantitativo-qualitativo) realizado em 18 equipes da Estratégia Saúde da Família (ESF), em município da região metropolitana de São Paulo. Na fase 1 (quantitativa), o CTE foi avaliado com a aplicação da Escala de Clima do Trabalho em equipe (ECTE) em 18 equipes da ESF (N=144). Para análise dos dados utilizou-se estatística descritiva, análise de agrupamentos (método Ward) e análise bivariada (t student). Na fase 2 (qualitativa), realizou-se estudo de caso múltiplo com entrevistas em profundidade com membros das equipes (N=24) que apresentaram escores contrastantes na ECTE. Na coleta e análise dos achados qualitativos foram utilizadas técnicas da teoria fundamentada em dados. Os resultados das fases 1 e 2 foram integrados. Resultados: Na fase 1 foram identificados dois agrupamentos de equipes: (A) com maiores e (B) de menores escores na ECTE. As diferenças entre os grupos foram estatisticamente significativas em todos os fatores da escala: participação na equipe (p<0,001), apoio para ideias novas (p=0,002), objetivos da equipe (p=0,001) e orientação para as tarefas (p=0,015). Achados da fase 2 corroboram os achados da fase 1, sendo as equipes do agrupamento A aquelas que apresentaram características relacionais e processuais mais favoráveis ao CTE e também à PIC. A análise interpretativa permitiu a identificação de duas modalidades contingenciais e dinâmicas de colaboração: 1) colaboração em equipe e 2) colaboração intersetorial, em rede e com a comunidade. Em torno das modalidades identificadas foi proposto um modelo da PIC. O modelo descreve as condições em que a PIC ocorre, as formas como se apresenta e suas consequências na organização da assistência à saúde. Conclusões: A análise do CTE mostrou-se capaz de prover insights sobre a PIC nas equipes. O modelo proposto apresenta conhecimentos que contribuem para compreensão e operacionalização da PIC. Os resultados sugerem que embora o clima de equipe tenha um papel importante na construção da colaboração, a compreensão da PIC no âmbito do SUS requer a consideração de elementos pertinentes à inovação no trabalho interprofissional e da própria forma de organização da APS e das Redes de Atenção à Saúde. / Background: In health care organizations, Interprofessional Collaborative Practice (ICP) and Team Climate (TC) are essential means to promote integrated care and improve health care quality. However, implementing ICP presents a series of challenges, and there is a lack of knowledge of how to operationalize this approach within the Brazilian Health Care System (SUS). Like Interprofessional Collaborative Practice, Team Climate is concerned with the effectiveness of relational and organisational aspects of interprofessional work. Few studies have explored the relationship between these two concepts or the role that Team Climate might play in establishing the operational conditions needed for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice. This study considers the implications of Team Climate for Interprofessional Practice, highlights the theoretical and empirical links between the two, and suggests how Team Climate may have a role in understanding and operationalising Interprofessional Collaborative Practice more effectively. Aim: To analyse ICP in Primary Health Care (PHC) teams with different TC. Methods: This is a mixed methods sequential explanatory study (quantitative-qualitative) conducted with 18 primary care teams from the Family Health Strategy (FHS), in the metropolitan region of São Paulo. In Stage 1 (quantitative), Team Climate was assessed using the Team Climate Inventory (TCI) in all 18 teams (144 participants in total). Data from the TCI were analysed using descriptive statistics, cluster analysis (Wards method) and bivariate analysis (Student t). In Stage 2, which used a multiple qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews with members (N=24) from teams with contrasting scores on the TCI. Grounded theory techniques were employed to analyse the qualitative data. Findings from both stages of the research were then compared and considered together. Results: Two different clusters of teams were identified in Stage 1: (A) teams with the highest mean scores; and (B), teams with the lowest mean scores on the TCI. Differences between cluster A and B were statistically significant for all TCI factors: participative safety (p <0.001), support for new ideas (p = 0.002), team goals (p = 0.001) and task orientation (p=0.015). Findings from Stage 2 reinforced quantitative findings from Stage 1. Teams from cluster A demonstrated more positive relational and processual characteristics to support TC and ICP. Interpretative analysis revealed two dynamic and contingent modalities of collaboration: 1) team collaboration; and 2) collaboration between different health and social sectors, within a healthcare network, and with the community. A framework for Interprofessional Collaborative Practice in primary health care was developed, based on these modalities of collaboration, and describing the conditions, modalities and health care consequences of ICP. Conclusions: Analysis of Team Climate provided insights into ICP in healthcare teams. The proposed framework provides fresh insights into the understanding and operationalization of ICP, and suggests that although Team Climate is important in establishing collaboration, the understanding of ICP within SUS also requires consideration of a range of other factors, including innovation in interprofessional work and the organizational structure of PHC and Health Care Networks.

Colaboração interprofissional na Estratégia Saúde da Família e a produção do cuidado em saúde durante o pré-natal / Interprofessional collaboration on the Family Health Strategy: aspects of production care during the antenatal .Faquim, Juliana Pereira da Silva 04 March 2016 (has links)
Introdução: Uma das mudanças mais importantes na produção do cuidado à saúde é a reorganização do processo de trabalho para a atuação de equipes multiprofissionais com abordagens interdisciplinares. A colaboração interprofissional tem sido apontada como um recurso que pode ser mobilizado para elevar a efetividade dos sistemas de saúde, e como estratégia inovadora, ela pode desempenhar um importante papel para enfrentar problemas do modelo de atenção e da força de trabalho em saúde. Objetivo: Descrever as percepções e atitudes de profissionais de saúde da Estratégia de Saúde da Família sobre as relações interprofissionais na atenção ao pré-natal, construir coletivamente e testar um protocolo de atenção à gestante para impulsionar as competências no trabalho colaborativo com vistas ao incremento da qualidade do cuidado. Métodos: Para isso, realizou-se previamente um estudo observacional descritivo para seleção de duas unidades de saúde. Na sequência foi realizado um estudo de intervenção do tipo antes e depois, com um grupo de controle pós-teste, incluindo métodos mistos. A população do estudo compreendeu oito profissionais de saúde (médicos, dentistas, enfermeiros e técnicos em saúde bucal) e 60 gestantes cadastradas em duas unidades de saúde da família do município de Uberlândia, sendo 36 incluídas no grupo intervenção e 24 no grupo controle. Dados numéricos, narrativas provenientes de entrevistas e registros de diário de campo foram usados para identificar mudanças na autoavaliação da saúde bucal, na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal medida pelo OHIP-14, na percepção das gestantes sobre o trabalho em equipe e nas práticas profissionais. Testes estatísticos para detectar diferenças de significância e análise temática de conteúdo foram empregados para interpretar os desfechos. Resultados: Em geral, observou-se percepção/atitude favorável dos profissionais em relação à colaboração interprofissional. Diferenças entre as categorias profissionais podem representar uma barreira subjetiva à implementação de protocolos que demandariam maior grau de trabalho colaborativo. Diferenças entre as unidades de atenção primária mostraram que a interação entre membros das equipes multiprofissionais pode sobrepujar dificuldades decorrentes do modo isolado e distinto no qual cada categoria profissional é formada. Foi produzido um Protocolo de Atenção à Gestante abrangendo o fluxo e a dinâmica dos processos de trabalho dentro de uma perspectiva de colaboração interprofissional. Segundo os profissionais, a intervenção apesar do seu caráter desafiador, estimulou o comprometimento da equipe para reorientar o processo de trabalho resultando em maior interação profissional colaborativa. Em relação às gestantes, a maioria era jovem (menos de 26 anos de idade) e tinha ensino médio incompleto ou completo sem diferenças significativas entre os grupos teste e controle. Gestantes do grupo intervenção perceberam que os profissionais trabalhavam mais em equipe do que as gestantes do grupo controle. De modo geral, as gestantes avaliaram que a saúde bucal e a qualidade de vida decorrente da saúde bucal melhoraram após a intervenção. Conclusões: Concluiu-se que apesar da percepção geral dos profissionais favorável à colaboração interprofissional, recursos formais e organizacionais não estavam sendo empregados. O método ZOPP se mostrou flexível e adequado para o desenvolvimento de competências para o trabalho colaborativo e para a construção de um protocolo de organização de serviços na atenção primária à saúde. O Protocolo de Atenção à Gestante testado provocou tensões e produziu efeitos positivos na colaboração interprofissional e na qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde bucal contribuindo para qualificar a atenção ao pré-natal oferecido. / Introduction: One of the most important changes in health care production is the reorganization of the work process including multi-professional teams and interdisciplinary approaches. The interprofessional collaboration has been identified as a resource that can be mobilized to increase the effectiveness of health systems, and as an innovative strategy, it can play an important role in facing problems of the health care model and health workforce. Objectives: To describe the perceptions and attitudes on interprofessional relations in dental care within antenatal care, to build collectively and test a pregnant care protocol to boost skills in collaborative work for improving the quality of care. Methods: For this, an observational study for selection of two health units was carried out. After that, a before-after study, with a post-test control group, including mixed methods was undertaken. The study population comprised eight health professionals (doctors, dentists, nurses and technicians in oral health) and 60 pregnant women enrolled in two health units of the family of Uberlândia city, 36 categorized in the intervention group and 24 in the control group. Numerical data, narratives from interviews and field diary records were used to identify changes in self-rated oral health, quality of life related to oral health measured by OHIP-14, in the perception of pregnant women about the teamwork and the professional practices. Statistical tests to detect differences of significance and thematic content analysis were used to interpret the outcomes. Results: In general, the perception/attitude of health professionals was favorable on interprofessional collaboration. Differences among the determined professions can represent a subjective barrier before implementation of collaborating protocols. Differences among primary healthcare showed that interaction among workers of multi-professional team can surpass difficulties derived of isolated and distinct way in which every worker is graduated. A Pregnant Care Protocol was produced and tested covering the flow and dynamics of work processes within an interprofessional collaborative perspective. According to the professionals, the intervention despite its challenging character, encouraged the teams commitment to refocus the work process resulting in more collaborative professional interaction. Most of pregnant women were young (under 26 years old) and had incomplete or complete high school with no significant differences between the test and control groups. Pregnant women realized that professionals worked more as a team in the intervention group than in the control group. Self-rated oral health and oral health-related quality of life in pregnant women improved after intervention. Conclusions: In conclusion, despite the general perception in favor of, formal and organizational resources associated with interprofessional collaboration are not being employed. The ZOPP method proved flexible and suitable for the development of skills for collaborative work and the construction of a protocol services organization in primary health care. It was concluded that the Pregnant Care Protocol tested caused tensions and produced positive effects on interprofessional collaboration and on oral health-related quality of life contributing to improve antenatal care offered.

Interprofessional Patient Simulation Training Compared to Online Training for learning to use In-Line Speaking ValvesMoore, Kristi A 01 May 2016 (has links)
Restoring speech in persons who are tracheostomy and ventilator dependent, through the use of a Passy-Muir Speaking Valve (PMSV), requires specific training. Methods of training interprofessional team members to assess in-line PMSVs are unclear. This study used a pretest/ post-test design to compare effects of online training and online training plus simulation training on knowledge acquisition, skills performance, and comfort levels when working with persons who are tracheostomy and ventilator dependent. Twenty-six students studying either respiratory therapy (N=13) or speech-language pathology (N=13) were assigned to the control group or experimental group. Results revealed that online training proved beneficial for increasing tracheostomy and ventilator knowledge. Participants who underwent simulation training reported greater levels of comfort and demonstrated more efficient skills performance during simulation post-testing. Simulation training is efficacious to train interprofessional teams how to properly assess this population for use of in-line PMSVs.

Dental- and nursing care collaborations in Sweden – A way to support nursing staff in oral hygiene care for older peopleJohansson, Isabelle January 2019 (has links)
Background: Oral health is an integral part of the general health and quality of life. Yet oral health among older people requiring nursing care is often poor. Despite this group’s frequent contact with health care services, they tend to lose contact with dental care. In nursing care, nursing staff are tasked to assist with oral hygiene care, but this has become more demanding as many older people retain more teeth or have advanced prosthetic constructions. Previous research in the field emphasised the need of collaboration between dental- and nursing care to support the nursing staff in this task. However, there is a lack of evidence regarding the effects of these collaborations. Aim: The overall aim of the thesis is to examine two oral health programmes used within nursing care with different design regarding support from and collaboration with dental care. Methods: Quantitative research methods was used. The data in Study I comes from an oral health assessments guide (ROAG-J) performed by nursing staff in a national health register. Oral health, assessed at two occasions from older people with nursing care, were used. Study II was a controlled intervention study performed at a nursing home. The intervention involved individual coaching of nursing staff in oral hygiene care by dental hygienist for four hours per week at the ward for a period of three months. Oral assessments of older people were performed by dental hygienists and questionnaires to nursing home staff were used. Result: In Study I, 667 individuals aged 65 years or older, receiving nursing care services and assessed using ROAG-J between November 2011 and March 2014 were included. No statistically significant difference in any of the oral health variables was found between the first and subsequent assessments. At the first assessments, less than one third of participants had oral health problems. At the first assessment, status of the tongue differed in men and women (p < .01); at the subsequent assessment, gender differences were found in voice (p < .05), mucous membranes (p < .003), tongue (p < .01), and saliva (p < .006). In Study II, 33 nursing staff and 48 residents participated at the baseline measurement and 22 and 32 respectively at the 9-month follow-up. The nursing staff changed in knowledge and attitudes related to gum disease, approximal cleaning, usage of fluoride and the likelihood that older persons would express the need for oral health support. The most frequently reported oral health problems among the residents pertained to teeth and gums. The residents relatively high level of oral health was stable during the study period. Conclusions: The participants in the oral health programmes were able to maintain an acceptable level of oral health during the study periods although health was likely to decline. The nursing staff maintained a high level of knowledge and attitudes about oral health. However, there seems to be a discrepancy regarding the prevalence of oral health problems among older people. A collaboration between dental- and nursing care providers indicates a positive influence on providing oral hygiene care.

Factors Related to the Professional Management of Early Breastfeeding Problems: Perspectives of Lactation ConsultantsAnstey, Erica Hesch 01 January 2013 (has links)
Addressing the sub-optimal breastfeeding initiation and duration rates has become a national priority. Inadequate support for addressing early breastfeeding challenges is compounded by a lack of collaboration between providers such as lactation professionals, nurses, pediatricians, and the family. The purpose of this exploratory study was to understand International Board Certified Lactation Consultants' (IBCLCs) perceived barriers to managing early breastfeeding problems. This qualitative study was guided by the symbolic interactionist framework through a grounded theory methodological approach. In-depth interviews were conducted with 30 IBCLCs from across Florida. IBCLCs were from a range of practice settings, including hospitals, WIC clinics, private practice, and pediatric offices. Data were digitally recorded, transcribed, and analyzed in Atlas.ti. A range of barriers were identified and grouped into the following categories: indirect barriers such as social norms, knowledge, attitudes; direct occupational barriers such as institutional constraints, lack of coordination, and poor service delivery; and direct individual barriers including social support and mother's self-efficacy. A model was developed to illustrate the factors that influence the role enactment of IBCLCs in terms of managing breastfeeding problems. IBCLCs overwhelmingly wish to be perceived as valued members of a health care team, but often find interprofessional collaboration is a struggle. However, IBCLCs find creative strategies to navigate challenges and describe their role as pivotal in empowering mothers and their families to meet their breastfeeding goals. Though rarely actualized, IBCLCs place strong value on coordinated, team approaches to breastfeeding management that employ transparent communication between providers and focus on empowering and educating mothers. Strategies for better collaboration and communication between IBCLCs and other providers are needed. Findings provide insight into the management issues of early breastfeeding problems and may lead to future interventions to reduce early weaning, thus increasing the lifelong health benefits of breastfeeding to the infant and mother.

Att respektera varandras kompetenser : Sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att arbeta i interprofessionella team / To respect each others competences : Nurses experiences of working in interprofessional teamsBjörk, Jessica, Lindholm, Alina January 2015 (has links)
Framgångsrik interprofessionell samverkan i team har bevisats öka patientsäkerheten i hälso- och sjukvården. Sjuksköterskor är ofta en del av interprofessionella team och en av deras kärnkompetenser är samverkan i team. För att uppfylla kärnkompetensen krävs kunskap om vad som påverkar samverkan. Syftet var således att belysa sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av samverkan i interprofessionella team. Metoden som tillämpades var en osystematisk litteraturöversikt med systematiska sökningar av omvårdnadsforskning. Litteraturöversikten baserades på 13 vetenskapliga artiklar där resultaten bearbetades med inspiration av kvalitativ innehållsanalys och fyra kategorier av erfarenheter kunde skapas. De fyra kategorier som framkom var att respektera varandras kompetenser, att ha en tydlig arbetsfördelning, att arbeta med olika personligheter och att arbeta för gemensamma mål. Sjuksköterskor erfor att klinisk kompetens, social kompetens, respekt, kommunikation, tillit, utbildning, rollförståelse och gemensamma mål var grundläggande för en fungerande samverkan. För att förbereda sjuksköterskestudenter för interprofessionell samverkan rekommenderas såväl teoretisk som praktisk utbildning tillsammans med andra vårdaktörer under utbildning. Även gemensam utbildning för befintlig hälso- och sjukvårdspersonal anses värdefull. Ytterligare forskning kring sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av interprofessionell samverkan är angeläget för att öka sjuksköterskors kompetens i samverkan i team. / In the healthcare sector, interprofessional collaboration has proven to enhance patient safety. Nurses are often a part of interprofessional teams and collaboration is one of the core competencies of nurses. Knowledge about what affects collaboration is needed to fulfill this core competence. The purpose was therefore to illustrate nurses experiences of interprofessional collaboration. The study was conducted as a literature review of nursing research. The literature review was based on 13 scientific articles whos results were analyzed with guidance from a qualitative content analysis and four categories of nurses experiences arose from the analysis. These categories were to respect each others competences, to have a clear job allocation, to work with different personalities and to work towards a common goal. According to nurses experiences, clinical competence, social competence, respect, communication, trust, education, understanding of roles and common goals were essential for succesfull collaboration. To prepare nursing students for interprofessional collaboration, theoretical and practical education with other healthcare students are suggested. Education for staff already working in the healthcare sector is also believed to be valuable. To enhace nurses competence in collaboration, further research of nurses experiences of interprofessional collaboration is necessary.
