Area of Science:

  • Healthcare Education
  • Interprofessional Collaboration
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Critical care units (ICUs) necessitate interprofessional management for optimal patient health.
  • Clinical education in remote settings is crucial for fostering interprofessional collaboration (IPC) among health science students.
  • Understanding existing collaborative practices in ICUs is vital for student training.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore IPC among clinicians in South African ICUs at decentralized training facilities.
  • To understand the collaborative practices students are exposed to during clinical training.
  • To identify barriers and facilitators of IPC in the ICU setting.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study design utilizing semi-structured interviews.
  • 40 purposively selected participants from two ICU settings.
  • Thematic analysis of verbatim transcribed interview data.

Main Results:

  • Four major themes emerged: scope-of-practice disputes, teamwork disruption, organizational obstacles, and future aspirations.
  • Lack of professional regard and understanding of roles impeded collaboration.
  • COVID-19 pandemic and staff shortages hindered multidisciplinary meetings.

Conclusions:

  • Undergraduate interprofessional education (IPE) is perceived as a key solution to improve team functioning.
  • Compulsory multidisciplinary meetings are recommended to enhance communication.
  • Improving IPE can lead to better collaborative care and patient outcomes in ICUs.
