Area of Science:

Healthcare Management
Nursing Education
Interprofessional Collaboration

Background:

Effective interprofessional collaboration is crucial for optimal patient outcomes and healthcare system efficiency.
Understanding factors influencing nurses' perceptions of collaboration is essential for developing targeted interventions.
Existing frameworks, such as Luszki and Gray's, provide a basis for conceptualizing interdisciplinary teamwork.

Purpose of the Study:

To statistically analyze nurses' perceptions of collaboration with other health disciplines.
To investigate the relationship between educational background, experience, and work setting on collaboration perception.
To identify key determinants influencing nurses' views on interprofessional teamwork.

Main Methods:

A convenience sample of nursing professionals at various educational levels was surveyed.
Participants included undergraduate nursing students, licensed practical nurses (LPNs), registered nurses (RNs), and Master of Science in Nursing (MSN) candidates.
Statistical analyses were employed to examine correlations between demographic/professional variables and collaboration perception.

Main Results:

A significant positive correlation was found between higher levels of education and enhanced perception of interprofessional collaboration.
Increased educational attainment in nursing was directly associated with more favorable views on teamwork.
No significant relationships were found for experience or work setting in this study.

Conclusions:

Advancing nursing education levels appears to foster a stronger perception of interprofessional collaboration.
Educational strategies aimed at enhancing collaboration skills should be integrated into nursing curricula.
Further research is warranted to explore the nuances of experience and work setting impacts on collaboration.
