Each expert respondent was given the newly developed descriptions of interprofessional collaboration, communication and trust (Appendix 1). Each respondent then rated the readiness questions against a 5-point Likert scale whereby 1 was ‘strongly disagree’ and 5 was ‘strongly agree’. Respondents rated each question to how well it linked to the descriptions of the constructs provided. Initially the questions fell into three main categories: Readiness for Interprofessional Collaboration, Communication and Trust. The questions were a combination of previously validated and originally drafted questions. Some questions were exact wording from existing validated tools, some were adaptations and some were originally developed questions. Appendix 1 shows the original questions, the adapted questions and those that were used in their exact

  • Summary: The Importance Of Interprofessional Communication

    1270 Words  | 6 Pages

    It is perceived that multi-disciplinary collaboration when it comes to service-user care is linked to more positive outcomes and experiences (Clifton et al., 2007). Teams which are able to communicate and are well coordinated have a lower rate of error (Despins, 2009). An effective team can be achieved through an effective model of communication, where members of each profession can openly share their opinions and challenge the opinions of others, in the hopes of improving service-user care and thus service-user safety. However, this type of honesty can only work well when there is a mutual respect and understanding within a team. Mutual respect, understanding teamed with effective communication lead to a

  • Strong Presence On Nurses And Leadership

    It is defined as the integrated care, team approach, and communication between health care members in the effort to provide a functional work environment (Clarke, & Hassmiller, 2013). To summarize, professions across a health care organization should come together to improve the work environment to achieve the same goals to ensure that as a team, outcomes are being met. The Institute of Medicine (2010) believes this is an area that needs vast improvement, and due to fact that interprofessional leadership is not implemented as the standard throughout the hospitals nationwide. The Institute also believes that collaboration is a key strategy for improving problem solving (2010). “Quality care is best provided in a healthy, functional work environment” (Finkelman, et al, p477, 2013). With that being said, interprofessional leadership should be implemented more across the nation in an effort to provide a healthy, functional work environment.

    Discuss the methodological and ethical issues which are apparent in this study. How have the findings impacted the psychological field? One methodological issue with the Bain et al refrigerator study is that type of experiment used. Having used a laboratory experiment, all variables were under strict control and this does not reflect the true nature of the situation the children were placed in. Children trapped inside a refrigerator would not escape by pressing a panel on the floor, thus the experiment has features which do not reflect an accurate representation of a real life situation (Bain et al, 1958).

    As shortages in the health care system continually increase, the media and government leaders frequently emphasize the problem lies in the lack of health care providers available to manage the system. The Canadian Interprofessional Health Collaborative (2008) states that the problem is not simply solved by producing and admitting more health professional students, but by “changing the way health services are delivered and the manner in which providers interact with each other” (p. 7). As a future registered nurse going into the largest profession in the health system, I can expect to always be a member of a collaborative team. Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is the “process of developing and maintaining effective interprofessional working

    Medical care provided by health personnel also found to be associated with traumatic childbirth. Inadequate information about delivery, less interaction with the medical staff, and inadequate care during delivery were predictors of traumatic childbirth (Creedy, et al.2000; Soet, et al. 2003; O’Donovan, et al. 2014; Simpson & Catling, 2015). Allen 1998 reported that women felt harmed when they received inadequate care and the staff was not present around the time of delivery which led women to loss control and perceiving childbirth as traumatic event. Beck (2004) supports these findings, in her qualitative study four themes were emerged about the experience of traumatic childbirth, three themes were about medical care, safety during childbirth
