abstract: 'Aims and objectives To explore how community nurses experience the
collaboration with general practitioners and specialist palliative home
care team nurses in palliative home care and the perceived factors
influencing this collaboration. Background The complexity of, and the
demand for, palliative home care is increasing. Primary palliative care
is provided by community nurses and general practitioners, often in
collaboration with palliative home care team nurses. Although these
professionals may each individually be part of a fixed team, a new
temporary team is often composed for every new palliative patient. These
membership changes, referred to as team membership fluidity, challenge
professionals to work effectively. Design and methods A qualitative
research design, using semi-structured interviews with community nurses.
Participant selection happened through regional palliative care networks
in Belgium. The network''s palliative home care team nurses selected
community nurses with whom they recently collaborated. Twenty interviews
were conducted. A constant comparative analysis approach was used.
Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research guidelines were
followed. Results Formal interprofessional team meetings were not common
practice. The other''s approachability and knowing each other positively
influenced the collaboration. Time constraints, the general
practitioners'' lack of expertise, communication style, hierarchy
perception and income dependency negatively influenced the collaboration
with general practitioners and determined palliative home care team
nurses'' involvement. The coping strategies of community nurses balanced
between a behaviour focused to the patient and to the professional
relationship. Specialist palliative home care team nurses were relied
upon for their expertise but also to mediate when community nurses
disagreed with general practitioners. Conclusion Community nurses showed
to be highly adaptable within the fluid team. Strikingly, dynamics
described in the doctor-nurse game 50 years ago are still present today
and affect the interprofessional communication. Interprofessional
education interventions can contribute to improved interprofessional
collaboration. Relevance to clinical practice The study findings
uncovered critical knowledge gaps in interprofessional collaboration in
palliative home care. Insights are relevant for and related to
professional well-being and workplace learning.'
