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.'
