Area of Science:

  • Health Management
  • Social Psychology
  • Occupational Health

Background:

  • Investigating in-group dynamics among health personnel is crucial for effective public health programs.
  • Leprosy eradication programs require strong interprofessional collaboration.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the intergroup relationships between doctors and paramedicals in India's National Leprosy Eradication Programme (NLEP).
  • To identify factors contributing to poor intergroup acceptance and propose solutions for improved working relationships.

Main Methods:

  • Empirical investigation using two separate scales developed for doctors and paramedicals.
  • Data collection focused on five areas of intergroup relationships within the NLEP.
  • Sample included 21 doctors (formal group) and 335 paramedicals (semiformal group).

Main Results:

  • Significant poor acceptance and social distancing were observed between doctors and paramedicals.
  • Key reasons identified include perceived professional hierarchy, skill encroachment apprehension, and mutual distrust.
  • Severe human relationship issues like domineering behavior were less prevalent.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing professional hierarchy and skill overlap is essential for improving doctor-paramedical relations in NLEP.
  • A recommended intervention involves intrapersonal understanding and interpersonal skills development through role-play and case study analysis.
  • Enhancing mutual trust and acceptance can optimize healthcare delivery in leprosy programs.
