Evaluation of relationships between haemodialysis unit professionals

This paper focuses on the dynamics of a workgroup in a nephrology and haemodialysis unit. Teamwork is indispensable in nephrology units, as it provides support and help to professionals but working closely together may also cause conflict and great strain. This study describes how much and in what way the anxiety and the relationship between these professionals influences their work, depending on skills and personal preferences among the staff. A questionnaire was used to analyse the following issues: stress, changes, routine, confrontation, comparisons, preferences, support, valuation, assertiveness, self-evaluation, technical competence, affiliation, motivation, work atmosphere and training.
