Medical Education 2011: 45: 478–487 Objectives Evidence suggests that doctors and nurses do not always work collaboratively in health care settings and that this contributes to suboptimal patient care. However, there is little information on interprofessional collaboration (IPC) among new medical and nursing graduates working together for the first time in a multidisciplinary health care team. Our aim was to understand the nature of the interactions, activities and issues affecting these new graduates in order to inform interventions to improve IPC in this context. Methods We interviewed 25 junior doctors and nurses and explored their experiences of working together. Interviews were transcribed, entered into a qualitative analysis software package and data were coded against a theoretical framework for health care team function. Results Although interviewees expressed mutual respect, organisational structures often limited the extent to which they could establish professional relationships. Sharing information and agreeing goals were considered fundamental to good decision making, but the working environment and differing perspectives could make this difficult to achieve. Our data suggest that junior doctors and nurses see themselves as having complementary and non‐competitive roles in patient care. The establishing of an interprofessional team was seen to require leadership, which was not always apparent. Without leadership, new members were not always well oriented to the team. The need to maintain an environment in which open communication could take place was acknowledged as important for patient safety, but there were some barriers to achieving this. Conclusions Our data highlight the professionalism, respect and adaptability of these junior health professionals. We document the types of collaborative activities and tensions relevant in this context and, based on our findings, provide some strategies for improving IPC.  相似文献

Improvement of chronic disease management demands effective collaborative relationships between health and social-care which is achieved through teamwork. Interprofessional Education (IPE) and Interprofessional Collaboration (IPC) are recognized as essential for the delivery of effective and efficient healthcare. Although IPC and IPE are key components of primary care, evidence of studies evaluating how an IPE intervention prior to IPC improved chronic patient outcomes remains scarce. The aim of this study was to assess the impact of IPC interventions on the management of chronic patients compared to usual care.A systematic review and meta-analysis of Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) on IPC interventions on chronicity management and their impact on clinical and process outcomes was conducted.Of the 11,128 papers initially retrieved, 23 met the inclusion criteria. Meta-analyses results showed the reduction of systolic blood pressure (Mean Difference (MD) -3.70; 95 % CI -7.39, -0.01), glycosylated hemoglobin (MD -0.20; 95 % CI -0.47, -0.07), LDL cholesterol (MD -5.74; 95 % CI -9.34, -2.14), diastolic blood pressure (MD -1.95; 95 % CI -3.18, -0.72), days of hospitalization (MD -2.22; 95 % CI -4.30, -0.140).A number of positive findings for outcomes related to IPC were found reflecting an improvement of quality of care and an enhancement in the delivery of patient-centered and coordinated care. Moreover, the need for a purposeful systemic approach linking interprofessional education with interprofessional collaboration and patient health and wellbeing is necessary.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Professional teams are becoming more central to health care as evidence emerges that effective teamwork enhances the quality of patient care. Currently, health care professionals are poorly prepared by their education for their roles on the team. In parallel, there are increasing demands from consumers for health care professionals to serve the interests of society and patients through engaging in effective professional partnerships. Professionalism for health care providers is now being defined as a commitment to standards of excellence in the practice of the profession that are designed primarily to serve the interests of the patient and to be responsive to the health needs of society. Yet, there are multiple barriers impeding the development of professionalism beyond a uni-professional frame of reference. METHOD: Incorporating teamwork and professionalism into health care professional curricula at pre-registration level is proving to be challenging. These 2 areas of learning are brought together in this paper through a discussion of the role of interprofessional education in preparing all health care professional students for the workforce. CONCLUSION: Interprofessionalism is presented as a pre-registration curriculum framework that includes values shared by all health care professionals, which should be learned in order to more adequately prepare students for working in health care teams. It will be argued that interprofessional education provides appropriate methods by which to learn interprofessionalism, and that this will ultimately contribute to overcoming uni-professional exclusivity.  相似文献

This article examines the effects of nonviolent communication (NVC) training on the interprofessional collaboration (IPC) of two health and social services sector care teams. The study was conducted in 2013 with two interprofessional teams (N = 9) using a mixed method research design to measure the effects of the training. Individual IPC competency was measured using the Team Observed Structured Clinical Encounter tool, and group competency using the Observed Interprofessional Collaboration tool. A focus group was held to collect participant perceptions of what they learned in the training. Results revealed improvements in individual competency in client/family-centered collaboration and role clarification. Improvements in group competency were also found with respect to teams’ ability to develop a shared plan of action. Data suggests that participants accepted and adopted training content. After the training, they appeared better able to identify the effects of spontaneous communication, more understanding of the mechanisms of empathy, and in a better position to foster collective leadership.  相似文献

Medical Education 2012: 46 : 869–877 Objectives In order to be relevant and impactful, our research into health care teamwork needs to better reflect the complexity inherent to this area. This study explored the complexity of collaborative practice on a distributed transplant team. We employed the theoretical lenses of activity theory to better understand the nature of collaborative complexity and its implications for current approaches to interprofessional collaboration (IPC) and interprofessional education (IPE). Methods Over 4 months, two trained observers conducted 162 hours of observation, 30 field interviews and 17 formal interviews with 39 members of a solid organ transplant team in a Canadian teaching hospital. Participants included consultant medical and surgical staff and postgraduate trainees, the team nurse practitioner, social worker, dietician, pharmacist, physical therapist, bedside nurses, organ donor coordinators and organ recipient coordinators. Data collection and inductive analysis for emergent themes proceeded iteratively. Results Daily collaborative practice involves improvisation in the face of recurring challenges on a distributed team. This paper focuses on the theme of ‘interservice’ challenges, which represent instances in which the ‘core’ transplant team (those providing daily care for transplant patients) work to engage the expertise and resources of other services in the hospital, such as those of radiology and pathology departments. We examine a single story of the core team’s collaboration with cardiology, anaesthesiology and radiology services to decide whether a patient is appropriate for transplantation and use this story to consider the team’s strategies in the face of conflicting expectations and preferences among these services. Conclusions This story of collaboration in a distributed team calls into question two premises underpinning current models of IPC and IPE: the notion that stable professional roles exist, and the ideal of a unifying objective of ‘caring for the patient’. We suggest important elaborations to these premises as they are used to conceptualise and teach IPC in order to better represent the intricacy of everyday collaborative work in health care.  相似文献

CONTEXT: Interprofessional educational (IPE) initiatives are seen as a means to engage health care professionals in collaborative patient-centred care. Given the hierarchical nature of many clinical settings, it is important to examine how the aims of formal IPE courses intersect with the socialisation of medical students into roles of responsibility and authority. OBJECTIVES: This article aims to provide an overview of doctor barriers to collaboration and describe aspects of medical education and socialisation that may limit doctor engagement in the goals of interprofessional education. Additionally, the paper examines the nature of team function in the health care system, reviewing different conceptual models to propose a spectrum of collaborative possibilities. Finally, specific suggestions are offered to increase the impact of interprofessional education programmes in medical education. DISCUSSION: An acknowledgement of power differentials between health care providers is necessary in the development of models for shared responsibility between professions. Conceptual models of teamwork and collaboration must articulate the desired nature of interaction between professionals with different degrees of responsibility and authority. Educational programmes in areas such as professionalism and ethics have shown limited success when formal and informal curricula significantly diverge. The socialisation of medical students into the role of a responsible doctor must be balanced with training to share responsibility appropriately. Doctor collaborative capacity may be enhanced by programmes designed to develop particular skills for which there is evidence of improved patient outcomes.  相似文献

Introduction The ability to provide family-centered care (FCC) and the ability to work in interprofessional care teams (IPC) are essential educational outcomes in graduate training programs. Lack of standardized measures leave programs to rely on idiosyncratic methods to monitor outcomes. We developed a faculty observation tool as part of an effort to create a national quality improvement database. We present evidence for the feasibility and validity of the faculty observation tool. Methods Trainees and faculty at four independent training programs participated. Nineteen maternal and child health disciplines were represented. Faculty supervisors rated trainees using the new measure (I-FOR), and trainees completed related subscales of a previously developed self-report measure, the core competency measure (CCM). Faculty provided qualitative feedback regarding the I-FOR in a separate questionnaire. Results Faculty (n?=?78) completed the I-FOR on 86 trainees (86/92?=?93%) and reported satisfaction with completing the measures. The I-FOR demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha?>?0.930) and test–retest reliability (IPC r?=?0.862, FCC r?=?0.823, p?<?0.001). Greater than 95% of participants reported that the I-FOR accurately addressed the relevant skills for each practice domain. The I-FOR showed no correlation with the CCM. Significant improvements over time in the I-FOR ratings were demonstrated in three out of four programs. Discussion The I-FOR demonstrated good internal consistency and test–retest reliability. Faculty responses provide evidence for the feasibility and validity of the instrument. Self-report and faculty-observation measures both increased with training but were not correlated with each other.  相似文献

Interprofessional education (IPE) for health and social care students may improve attitudes toward IPE and interprofessional collaboration (IPC). The quality of research on the association between IPE and attitudes is mediocre and IPE effect sizes are unknown. Students at a college in Toronto, Canada, attended an IPE workshop. A comparison group of non-attenders was formed. Both groups completed pre- and post-workshop questionnaires and two measurement scales for IPE attitudes—the Interprofessional Education Perceptions Scale and the University of West England questionnaire. Eight multiple linear regressions modeled post-workshop attitude scores as a function of workshop attendance, pre-workshop attitudes, and background factors. Workshop effect sizes and relative importance of variables were estimated. Published results were used to calculate IPE effect sizes in other studies. Pre-workshop measures of post-workshop attitudes were dominant, positive predictors of outcomes; other predictors were subordinate to them. The relationship between workshop attendance and IPE attitudes was positive in seven models, statistically significant in four (P?<?0.05), and not statistically significant in four. In hierarchical regressions the average workshop effect was small, about 0.08 in ΔR 2 terms, amounting to about one-quarter of a model’s explained variance. The workshop was associated with improved IPE and IPC attitudes in some domains but not others. The results should help educators focus IPE efforts on IPE/IPC attitudes where small, short-term improvements can be obtained.  相似文献

This study examined how the interprofessional experience, including education and practice, affects graduate health science students’ attitudes toward interprofessional practice in health care teams. Data were collected from 227 graduate students, using the Attitudes toward Health Care Teams (ATHCT) scale. Both social work and other health science students had positive attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration with regard to its ability to improve the quality of a patient’s care. The results from hierarchical linear regression analyses demonstrated that female students, older students, and students with longer interprofessional practice experiences had more positive attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration in health care teams. Based on these results, implications for interprofessional education are discussed.  相似文献

INTRODUCTION: Interest in collaborative care approaches and in interprofessional education (IPE) to prepare providers for interprofessional collaboration is increasing and particularly so in the field of primary health care. Although evidence for the effectiveness of IPE is mixed, Barr et al. (2005) have proposed a useful framework for evaluating six levels of IPE outcomes. The Building a Better Tomorrow Initiative (BBTI) was a continuing professional development (CPD) program established to enhance the collaborative competencies of primary health care providers and foster interprofessional collaboration in primary health care settings. This article describes the evaluation design, specific measures, and educational outcomes of the BBTI program using Barr and colleagues' evaluation framework. METHODS: We used a mixed method approach. The evaluation research design was a one-group, pre- to poststudy utilizing a combination of quantitative and qualitative evaluation instruments and methods to collect data for the six levels of the Barr et al. evaluation framework. Evaluation focused especially on the following levels: participant satisfaction (reaction), confidence change (attitudes), performance change, and organizational impact. RESULTS: Participants were very satisfied with the BBTI modules and reported significant increases in their confidence and interprofessional collaborative competencies upon return to their primary health care practice sites. Interviews and focus groups with participants and administrators suggest that the BBTI modules were also effective in promoting and fostering interprofessional collaboration within primary health care settings. DISCUSSION: Results suggest that interprofessional CPD is effective in enhancing understanding of the roles of other professions, fostering respect and positive attitudes toward interprofessional collaboration, developing collaborative competencies, and promoting organizational change.  相似文献

The scope of this paper is to discuss how so-called "new professionalism" can help in how the education of physicians is conducted, by taking into account the effects of globalization both on the situation of health and on the needs of health professionals with particular emphasis on European Union countries, which are engaged in a profound process of reform in university education. To achieve this, first we present the basic concepts of "new professionalism" and the key strategies of current medical education, which is to train physicians capable of dealing with ethical, scientific and professional challenges that are arising at the beginning of this century. The interdependence of reforms in the undergraduate, graduate and ongoing training areas is then emphasized. The challenges and difficulties to be faced when switching to different stages of medical education are then outlined. It was concluded that, notwithstanding recent reforms in medical education, their great complexity and the still limited availability of contrasting assessments of their results, there are strong synergies between the principles and values of the "new professionalism" and the objectives of the reforms.  相似文献

This paper proposes a paradigm shift in health care from a focus on death and disability to one on health empowerment resulting in improved cardiovascular lifestyles for all Canadians. It describes a national interprofessional initiative to achieve this new vision in the area of cardiovascular health promotion. Achieving Cardiovascular Health in Canada (ACHIC) is a partnership of health professional associations and other health advocate groups whose vision is to promote optimal cardiovascular health (including cerebrovascular health) for all Canadians through interprofessional partnership initiatives and support systems. ACHIC's objectives are to: 1) identify system barriers and supports to cardiovascular health; 2) develop strategies that will have a positive impact on the practices of health professionals/educators in the promotion of cardiovascular health; 3) develop an interprofessional national approach to support strategies to achieve cardiovascular health in Canada; and 4) support the development and delivery of consistent, evidence-based messages by health professionals/educators for promotion of cardiovascular health.  相似文献

BackgroundProfessionalism is a vital aspect of health care and multidisciplinary teamwork. Although there is substantive professionalism literature in medicine and an expanding health care professions literature, there is a significant gap in understanding professionalism in dietetics. There are very few research papers in the dietetics literature on this issue compared with other health professions. Given the multidisciplinary nature of health care, it is important to understand what professionalism means within each profession to develop shared understandings across health care teams.ObjectiveThe study aim was to explore how dietetics professionalism is conceptualized by dietetic practitioners/preceptors, faculty, and new graduates.DesignA constructionist exploratory qualitative interview study was conducted.Participants/settingOne hundred participants (dietetics graduates, faculty, and practitioners/preceptors), associated with 17 universities across Australia and New Zealand and from diverse geographical and work settings, participated in 27 group and 24 individual interviews from March 2018 to June 2019.Statistical analyses performedThematic framework analysis was used to examine participants’ understandings of professionalism.ResultsTwenty-three dimensions of dietetics professionalism were identified, with the most common being communication and including four novel dimensions of professionalism (generational, emotion management, cultural capability, and advocacy) not previously described in other professions. Professionalism as emotion management and generational adds new insights to the professionalism literature, expanding understandings of this vital aspect of health care. Although high levels of consistency in professionalism understandings existed across the three stakeholder groups, some interesting differences were found. The profession of dietetics shares similarities with other professions in the ways professionalism is conceptualized.ConclusionsUsing these dimensions of professionalism as a framework for teaching and learning about professionalism will help in clarifying expectations and expand shared understandings about professionalism for dietitians, other health professions, and across multidisciplinary teams.  相似文献

Relatively little is known about the specific attributes of health professional students which may influence their attitudes towards both interprofessional teamwork and interprofessional education. A survey was distributed to all pre-licensure health professional students from medicine, nursing, pharmacy and social work programmes at our institution. Respondents were asked to rate their attitudes towards interprofessional healthcare teams and interprofessional education using validated and reliable scales reported in the literature. Information on the respondents' gender, profession, year of study and prior experience with interprofessional education was also collected. There was no significant difference between attitudes of medicine and nursing students towards interprofessional teamwork; however, both these student groups report significantly less positive attitudes towards interprofessional teams than pharmacy and social work students. Medicine students reported significantly less positive attitudes towards interprofessional education than nursing, pharmacy and social work students. Female students and senior undergraduate students reported significantly more positive attitudes towards interprofessional teamwork and interprofessional education, while students reporting prior experience with interprofessional education reported significantly more positive attitudes towards interprofessional teamwork. Profession, gender and year of study appear to be attributes which were related to more positive attitudes towards both interprofessional teamwork and education.  相似文献

Professionalism affects the quality of medical care in terms of clinical outcomes, safety, and service. Although often talked about by physicians, professionalism is important for all who are engaged in clinical care. In our continuous effort to improve quality at Mayo Clinic, we hypothesized that patient satisfaction was affected by the professionalism of the allied health staff. Our aim was to improve patient satisfaction by training employees on behaviors and attitudes that could significantly affect patient satisfaction. More than 4,000 allied health staff have gone through the training program called "PLEASE CARE." More than 2,000 patients received point-of-care surveys before and after implementation of the program. We found patient satisfaction with the allied health staff increased from 71% to 77% after the training. We also saw improvement in each of the individual PLEASE CARE attributes. This demonstrates that enhancement of professionalism among allied health staff can have a positive effect on the experience of patients.  相似文献

This paper seeks to define a "model" role for a community health education specialist having due regard to the dictates of professionalism and to the potential of education and the behavioural sciences for increasing effectiveness in the delivery of health care. It subsequently examines the "goodness of fit" between existing health education services and the "model" role by matching this latter with data from a postal survey of 152 health education officers collected just prior to the reorganisation of the NHS in April 1974.  相似文献

Interdisciplinary or transdisciplinary service is strongly advocated in school-based occupational therapy practice. The terms, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary, however, are not accurate in their use. This paper examines the difference between the terms of discipline and profession and recommends the more precise and appropriate use of interprofession and transprofession related to school-based occupational therapy practice. Occupational therapy is a profession, not a discipline. Using the terms of interprofession and transprofession can benefit the occupational therapy profession by increasing language use precision, facilitating professionalism, and improving interprofessional interactions and collaborations based upon accuracy.  相似文献

Improving oral health is a leading population health goal; however, curricula preparing health professionals have a dearth of oral health content and clinical experiences.We detail an educational and clinical innovation transitioning the traditional head, ears, eyes, nose, and throat (HEENT) examination to the addition of the teeth, gums, mucosa, tongue, and palate examination (HEENOT) for assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of oral–systemic health. Many New York University nursing, dental, and medical faculty and students have been exposed to interprofessional oral health HEENOT classroom, simulation, and clinical experiences. This was associated with increased dental–primary care referrals.This innovation has potential to build interprofessional oral health workforce capacity that addresses a significant public health issue, increases oral health care access, and improves oral–systemic health across the lifespan.During the decade following publication of the Surgeon General’s Report, Oral Health in America, health professionals, physicians (MDs), nurse practitioners (NPs), nurse–midwives (NMs), and physician assistants (PAs) began to align with the dental profession to heed Satcher’s call to “view the mouth as a window to the body.”1 The most significant interprofessional movement that followed this report occurred with family practice and pediatric physicians coming together to work on preventive oral health initiatives for children in which those professionals would provide screenings, fluoride varnish, and referrals for children to find dental homes.Mobilization of the overall health community to work collaboratively has been slower. Development of “Smiles for Life: A National Oral Health Curriculum”2 represented an important interprofessional “tipping point” for engaging health professionals focused on treating populations across the lifespan in considering oral health and its relationship to overall health as an integral component of their practice.Yet, evidence from national databases monitoring oral health data continue to reveal a high incidence and prevalence of dental caries, especially in lower socioeconomic and minority group populations.3,4 Data from the 2009–2012 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey5 reveal that approximately one in four children (14%) aged 3 to 5 years living at the poverty level have untreated dental caries. The survey data further reveal that 19% of non-Hispanic Black children aged 3 to 5 years and 26% of Hispanic children aged 6 to 9 years had untreated dental caries compared with non-Hispanic White children aged 3 to 5 years (11%) and 6 to 9 years (14%).6 Although national statistics show an improvement in access to oral health care for children aged 5 years and older, the data reveal significant disparities in access to care for children aged 2 to 4 years.7In the adult population, oral cancer morbidity and mortality rates have not declined over the past 10 years, at least in part related to absent or inadequate oral examinations,8 and human papillomavirus is associated with the recent rise in the incidence of oropharyngeal cancer.9 Among adults aged 65 years and older, only 30% have a dental benefit.10 Primary care providers have been challenged by the Institute of Medicine to play a significant role in improving these oral health disparities by building interprofessional oral health workforce capacity.10One important component of the problem is that the majority of curricula for preparing health professionals have a dearth of oral health content and clinical experiences. Approximately 70% of medical schools include 4 hours or less on oral health in their curriculum; 10% have no oral health content at all.11 Similarly, NPs and NMs have also not had a defined oral health curricular knowledge base nor a set of oral health clinical competencies.12–16 The PA programs have generally followed medical school curricula and have not required curricular oral health content or competencies.17The recent publication of several important national reports, two oral health reports by the Institute of Medicine,10,18 the listing of oral health as one of the Healthy People 2020 Leading Health Indicators,19 the release of the Health Resources and Services Administration document “Integration of Oral Health and Primary Care Practice,”20 and the dissemination of “Oral Health Care During Pregnancy: A National Consensus Statement”21 all reaffirm oral health as a population health issue of importance for primary care providers with all data emphasizing the links between oral health and overall health and the magnitude of the national oral health access dilemma. The interprofessional education competencies22 provided significant momentum for interprofessional oral health leaders to capitalize on the “perfect storm” created by the confluence of seminal reports to propose that oral–systemic health is a perfect population health exemplar to illustrate the interprofessional competency domains across health professions curricula.23,24However, the science of performing a physical examination, initially established by Hippocrates more than 3000 years ago and refined in the 13th century with the resumption of the dissection of human bodies for education, does not focus on the oral examination.25 Health care providers have performed physical assessment of the head, ears, eyes, nose, and throat (HEENT) in the same fashion since its inception centuries ago. For the majority of primary care providers, the traditional HEENT examination excludes examination of the oral cavity, as well as omitting oral health and its linkages to overall health in the health history.1,10–12A simple solution to this problem is to introduce a paradigm shift to teaching the HEENT examination by using the “HEENOT” approach. Incorporating “O,” for oral cavity assessment, adds a comprehensive focus on the oral–systemic history and examination of the teeth, gums, mucosa, tongue, and palate. The HEENOT approach means that educators and clinicians can “NOT” omit oral health and intraoral assessment from the history and physical examination performed by NPs, NMs, MDs, PAs, and other health professionals. This strategy will increase oral health screenings, detection of oral health comorbidities, and preventive interventions, including referrals to dental colleagues by primary care providers in community-based settings for acute or chronic health problems commonly seen in primary care practice. This report outlines an innovative process for introducing the HEENOT examination in physical assessment courses and reinforcing the competency throughout graduate health professions curricula.  相似文献
