ATTITUDES OF REGISTERED NURSES, ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS, AND CLERICAL STAFF TOWARDS MULTI-DISCIPLINARY TEAMWORKGuido, Pina Rita 08 October 2013 (has links)
Although teamwork is essential for quality care, outcomes based on successful teamwork are
seldom achieved in healthcare. Negative attitudes prevent effective teamwork; therefore, it is
important to explore attitudes of all members towards multi-disciplinary teamwork.
This research investigated attitudes held by health professionals and staff of the Group Health
Centre regarding multi-disciplinary teamwork and investigated if a relationship exists between
work experience and attitudes towards teamwork.
A descriptive correlational design was used. Data was gathered using the TeamSTEPPS
Teamwork Attitude Questionnaire (T-TAQ). The T-TAQ assesses attitudes towards validated
constructs of teamwork.
Team members of the Group Health Centre have positive attitudes towards teamwork. The
registered nurses do not have different attitudes compared to their colleagues from other health
sciences or staff. However, clerical staff presents differences with respect to the constructs of
situation monitoring and communication. There is no relationship between work experience and
attitudes. These results have important implications for teams in primary care, specifically, the
Group Health Centre.
