    Increased complexity in intensive care units (ICUs) necessitates enhanced interunit cooperation. Failure to improve collaboration can lead to greater interunit conflict and organizational strain in critical care settings.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare Management
    • Nursing Administration
    • Critical Care Medicine

    Background:

    • Modern healthcare environments, particularly intensive care units (ICUs), face escalating complexity.
    • This complexity heightens the need for effective collaboration between different nursing units.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To examine the relationship between ICU structural complexity and interunit cooperation.
    • To identify the potential for conflict and organizational strain arising from increased complexity.

    Main Methods:

    • Qualitative analysis of organizational structures within ICUs.
    • Review of interunit communication protocols and collaboration metrics.

    Main Results:

    • Higher ICU complexity correlates with a greater demand for interunit cooperation.
