Interdisciplinary Care: The Health Care Team-I

An interdisciplinary team includes many healthcare professionals working together and utilizing their skills, knowledge, and expertise to provide holistic and quality patient care.
Physicians
The physician's primary responsibility is to diagnose illness and direct the medical or surgical treatment of the condition. The authority to admit patients to a healthcare agency or institution and practice care within that setting is granted to physicians by the healthcare agency or institution itself.
Nurses' Legal Responsibilities III01:16

Nurses' Legal Responsibilities III

Nurse-to-nurse relationships are legally required to adhere to professional standards, ensuring a respectful and positive working environment. Professional conduct demands that nurses treat all colleagues respectfully and courteously, fostering a productive, supportive workplace. Nurses must actively eliminate bullying, discrimination, and harassment to maintain a safe and inclusive environment.

The Professional Nurse01:22

The Professional Nurse

Professional nurses are not limited to bedside care and are taking roles of greater responsibility. A nurse should have a knowledge-based practice, including personal, theoretical, procedural, cultural, and reflexive knowledge. Additionally, nurses must be competent in cognitive, technical, interpersonal, and ethical/legal skills. Some of the best attributes of successful nurses include the following:

Professional Values01:29

Professional Values

Nurses are responsible for caring for patients during birth, death, illness, and healing. Professional values guide the decisions and actions that nurses make in their careers. If nurses know the decisions and actions to take, providing patients with exceptional care is possible.

Summary

Registered nurses and physicians interact based on professional respect rather than gender dynamics. Study findings suggest nurses perceive interactions more favorably under a professional model than a gender-based one.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing and Healthcare Professional Relationships
  • Sociology of Health
  • Gender Studies in Medicine

Background:

  • Nurse-physician relationships are often explained by two models: professional interaction or a patriarchal gender hierarchy.
  • Previous research has not fully explored nurses' perceptions of these differing relational dynamics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate advanced practice nurses' perceptions of their relationships with male and female physicians.
  • To determine whether nurses' views align more with a professional interaction model or a gender-based model.

Main Methods:

  • A closed-ended, self-administered questionnaire was used.
  • 125 advanced practice nurses at a professional conference participated.
  • Nurses rated their relationships with male and female physicians on various factors.

Main Results:

  • Nurses rated male and female physicians similarly across most dimensions.
  • Both male and female physicians were rated highest for confidence in nurse expertise.
  • Physicians were rated lowest for recognizing nurses' non-patient care responsibilities.
  • Younger female physicians (under 50) were rated more favorably than older female physicians.

Conclusions:

  • Findings support the professional model of nurse-physician relations over the gender-based model.
  • Perceptions of physicians are influenced by professional factors more than gender.
  • Age may play a role in how nurses perceive female physicians.
