Nurses and physicians often fail to collaborate due to distorted communication. Successful collaboration requires moving beyond basic information exchange and embracing critical self-reflection for meaningful nurse-physician interactions.

Area of Science:

  • Healthcare collaboration
  • Nursing and medical practice
  • Critical theory in healthcare

Background:

  • Interprofessional collaboration is crucial for effective healthcare delivery.
  • Observed challenges in nurse-physician collaboration impact patient care.
  • Understanding the underlying dynamics of these collaborative failures is essential.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the failure of nurses and physicians to collaborate.
  • To explore the underlying meanings and contributing factors to this failure.
  • To apply critical theory to understand nurse-physician practice dynamics.

Main Methods:

  • Phenomenological and participatory research approach.
  • Semi-structured interviews with 18 family nurse practitioners and physicians in joint practice.

    Conclusions:

    • Addressing distorted communication is key to improving nurse-physician collaboration.
    • Fostering an environment that encourages critical self-reflection enhances interprofessional relationships.
    • Willingness to challenge assumptions and move beyond superficial interactions is vital for effective teamwork.
