    Area of Science:

    • Healthcare professional collaboration
    • Interprofessional communication in medicine
    • Nursing and physician teamwork dynamics

    Background:

    • Effective nurse-physician collaboration is crucial for quality patient care.
    • Understanding perceptions of collaboration is key to improving healthcare team functioning.
    • Previous research indicates potential challenges in interprofessional teamwork.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate nurse-physician collaboration using four key indicators: power-control, practice spheres, concerns, and goals.
    • To compare perceptions of collaboration between registered nurses and physicians.
    • To identify demographic factors associated with collaborative practice.

    Main Methods:

    • A random mail survey was conducted with registered nurses (N=59) and physicians (N=67) in a midwestern metropolitan county.

  • Validated instruments, including an adaptation of the Weiss and Davis Collaborative Practice Scales, were used to assess collaboration.
  • Data were analyzed using chi-square tests and correlational analyses.

    • Main Results:

    • Nurses and physicians reported similar perceptions regarding power-control and concerns (p > .05).
    • Significant inconsistencies were found in their views on responsibilities for practice spheres and patient goals.
    • Demographic variables were linked to profiles of nurses and physicians who may exhibit lower levels of collaboration.

    Conclusions:

    • While nurses and physicians agree on some aspects of collaboration, differing views on roles and goals may hinder optimal teamwork.
    • Healthcare organizations should address these perceptual differences to foster more cohesive interprofessional relationships.
    • Further research is needed to explore the impact of demographic factors on collaborative practice and patient outcomes.
