Aim:
The aim of this study is to find out what learning activities in interprofessional teams and what influencing factors for team learning activities in interprofessional teams can be described by nurses working in interprofessional teams.
Design:
We conducted a descriptive interview study.
Methods:
We used a semi-structured interview guideline and interviewed 10 nurses (N = 10) working in interprofessional teams. We analyzed our data using a qualitative content analysis.
Results:
Nurses describe team learning activities of knowledge sharing, team reflection, and storing and retrieving. Furthermore, our results show that team stability is important for interprofessional teams.
Patient Or Public Contribution:
Our results can be helpful for hospitals to improve organizational structures that help interprofessional teams to work together. Furthermore, vocational education and training for nurses should offer possibilities for nursing students to learn together with students of other fields.
