Developing care pathways for schizophrenia patients revealed team conflicts. Professional role boundaries and control created tensions, hindering progress in patient care implementation.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Management
  • Psychiatry
  • Team Collaboration

Background:

  • Healthcare policy increasingly emphasizes multidisciplinary team working and integrated care.
  • Care pathways are emerging in psychiatry, presenting new challenges for established professional roles.
  • There is a growing demand for standardized care and measurable patient outcomes in mental health.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify difficulties faced by multidisciplinary teams during the development and implementation of a schizophrenia care pathway.
  • To explore the impact of care pathway implementation on team dynamics and professional boundaries.
  • To understand conflicting perceptions within healthcare teams regarding role plurality and autonomy.

Main Methods:

  • Action research methodology involving participant observation over 12 months on an acute psychiatric unit.

  • Semistructured interviews conducted with the multidisciplinary care team.
  • Cross-sectional indexing and thematic analysis of observational and interview data.

    • Main Results:

    • Clinicians expressed a strong desire for clear professional role boundaries and autonomy.
    • Tensions arose from differing professional perspectives on role definition and control within the care pathway.
    • Resistance to role plurality emerged, potentially impeding the effective implementation of the care pathway.

    Conclusions:

    • Care pathway development for schizophrenia can uncover significant team conflicts and conflicting professional perceptions.
    • Unwillingness to embrace role plurality among professions may hinder progress in meeting patient needs.
    • Implementing care pathways in mental health settings can have a substantial impact on team dynamics, contrary to assumptions of minimal disruption.
