    Nurse practitioners (NPs) and physicians (M.D.s) showed moderate agreement on roles, favoring complementary practice. Disagreements often involved NPs feeling capable of providing more care than physicians perceived.

    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare professional roles
    • Interprofessional collaboration
    • Nursing and medical practice

    Background:

    • Understanding role delineation between nurse practitioners (NPs) and physicians (M.D.s) is crucial for effective healthcare delivery.
    • Existing literature suggests potential for role ambiguity and disagreement in collaborative practice settings.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To quantify the extent of role disagreement between NPs and M.D.s in joint practices.
    • To identify characteristics of these practices associated with role disagreement.

    Main Methods:

    • 15 NP/M.D. dyads received patient vignettes.
    • Both NPs and M.D.s rated the appropriateness of their own and their co-practitioner's role in managing presented patient care scenarios.
    • Disagreement measures were derived by comparing dyad responses.

    Main Results:

    • Moderate agreement on roles was observed across practices, leaning towards a complementary model.
    • Disagreement regarding the NP's role frequently occurred when NPs perceived their capability to provide more care than M.D.s recognized.
    • Factors such as job satisfaction, age disparity, and NP training level correlated with observed disagreements.

    Conclusions:

    • Some degree of role disagreement persists between collaborating NPs and M.D.s.
    • Addressing these role differences may enhance job satisfaction and optimize interprofessional interactions.
    • Further research into factors influencing role perception can improve collaborative practice models.
