    This study validates the Collaborative Practice Scales for nurses and physicians, showing they reliably measure synergistic influence in patient care. The scales offer a robust tool for assessing interprofessional collaboration effectiveness.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare
    • Nursing
    • Medical Education

    Background:

    • Effective interprofessional collaboration is crucial for optimal patient care outcomes.
    • Assessing collaborative practice between nurses and physicians requires validated measurement tools.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the validity and reliability of the Collaborative Practice Scales for nurses and physicians.
    • To evaluate the degree to which nurse and physician interactions foster synergistic patient care.

    Main Methods:

    • Two self-report scales (nurse and physician) were administered to 95 nurses and 94 physicians.
    • Test-retest reliability, internal consistency (alpha coefficients), and construct validity were assessed.
    • Peer evaluations and measures of attitudes toward shared responsibility were used.

    Main Results:

    • Two factors were identified for each scale, demonstrating good internal consistency (alpha=.80 and .84).
    • Significant test-retest reliability was found over six weeks for both scales.
    • Correlations supported the underlying factors, and physician/nurse characteristics predicted scale scores.

    Conclusions:

    • The Collaborative Practice Scales demonstrate promising validity and reliability for measuring nurse-physician collaboration.
    • Further research is recommended to refine the scales by incorporating additional theory-linked factors.
    • These scales can be valuable instruments for evaluating and improving interprofessional teamwork in healthcare settings.
