Purpose:
This study explored the nature of consultation between childcare providers and nurse childcare health consultants and identified factors that promote a collaborative relationship.
Design And Methods:
A qualitative study using semistructured, individual interviews of five collaborative and five conflicted pairs of nurse childcare health consultants and childcare center directors. Data were analyzed following principles of grounded theory and applying the constant comparative method of analysis.
Results:
Establishing a collaborative relationship was influenced by previous experiences and four themes in the relationship: open and active communication, commitment, respect, and congruent philosophies.
Practice Implications:
Preparation in developing collaborative relationships should be incorporated into the education of nurse consultants and childcare directors and providers.
