“…They also had the highest scores in all three pairs of collaborations after attending the two programs. The posttest findings from the current study are not congruent with previous studies (e.g., Curran, Mugford, Law, & Macdonald, 2005;Hawk et al, 2002;Hojat et al, 2001;Leipzig et al, 2002;Park et al, 2013) that indicated that-among students in medicine, nursing, and social work-the medical students demonstrated the least positive attitude toward interprofessional collaboration. In particular, internal medicine and family practice residents consistently rated collaboration lower than did advance practice nursing and master-level social work students (Leipzig et al, 2002).…”

“…This lack of clarity have sometimes been perceived as detrimental to patient care and management of symptoms (Sasahara et al, 2003). Although shared teaching/learning have often been proposed as a means of overcoming barriers between professionals (Filkins, 1999;Curran et al, 2005) it is interesting to note only 1 respondent in the present study reported shared teaching/learning with other professionals.…”

SummaryThe present paper is derived from a larger survey which examined the perceptions of recently qualified health care professionals' experience on evidence-based practice, team working and cancer care. This study reports solely on the findings relating to cancer care. The perceptions of recently qualified professionals in relation to their initial educational input on issues such as confidence, anxiety, communication skills and practice in cancer care as well as adequacy of support, professional supervision and use of reflection were gathered using a cross-sectional postal survey design. A total of 50 graduates from each professional category in nursing, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, and social work were sampled yielding a total sample of 200. Eighty-five questionnaires were returned yielding a response rate of 43%. Twenty-eight (33%) respondents stated that they were currently involved in working with people with cancer. These were as follows: 5 nurses, 8 physiotherapists, 9 occupational therapists and 6 social workers. Despite the low response rate, the findings suggest that health care professionals' educational input and experiences of working with people with cancer were overall positive; for example, in the respondents' confidence, communication skills, decrease in anxiety and application of knowledge gained in classroom to professional practice. Moreover, most respondents learnt about caring for cancer patients through practice rather than classroom teaching. A high percentage (i.e. 64%;18) across all groups felt supported when caring for people with cancer and reported receiving professional supervision as well as being able to actively reflect on their practice. The implications for education and practice were discussed particularly as there have been few studies conducted in relation to the specific needs and collaborative learning of these health care professional groups.

“…Twelve (16 %) tools measured participants' teamwork skills. Teamwork skills such as leadership, communication and crisis management were assessed through simulation; 41,138,209 however, other tools involved direct observation of skills in actual practice settings, such as medical residents' abilities to lead ward teams 213 and palliative care physicians' communication in team meetings. 195 Behaviors of students, residents/fellows, or practicing physicians were reported outcomes for ten (14 %) tools.…”

Teamwork Assessment in Internal Medicine: A Systematic Review of Validity Evidence and Outcomes

OBJECTIVE: Valid teamwork assessment is imperative to determine physician competency and optimize patient outcomes. We systematically reviewed published instruments assessing teamwork in undergraduate, graduate, and continuing medical education in general internal medicine and all medical subspecialties. DATA SOURCES: We searched MEDLINE, MEDLINE In-process, CINAHL and PsycINFO from January 1979 through October 2012, references of included articles, and abstracts from four professional meetings. Two content experts were queried for additional studies. STUDY ELIGIBILITY: Included studies described quantitative tools measuring teamwork among medical students, residents, fellows, and practicing physicians on single or multi-professional (interprofessional) teams. STUDY APPRAISAL AND SYNTHESIS METHODS:Instrument validity and study quality were extracted using established frameworks with existing validity evidence. Two authors independently abstracted 30 % of articles and agreement was calculated. RESULTS: Of 12,922 citations, 178 articles describing 73 unique teamwork assessment tools met inclusion criteria. Interrater agreement was intraclass correlation coefficient 0.73 (95 % CI 0.63-0.81). Studies involved practicing physicians (142, 80 %), residents/fellows (70, 39 %), and medical students (11, 6 %). The majority (152, 85 %) assessed interprofessional teams. Studies were conducted in inpatient (77, 43 %), outpatient (42, 24 %), simulation (37, 21 %), and classroom (13, 7 %) settings. Validity evidence for the 73 tools included content (54, 74 %), internal structure (51, 70 %), relationships to other variables (25, 34 %), and response process (12, 16 %). Attitudes and opinions were the most frequently assessed outcomes. Relationships between teamwork scores and patient outcomes were directly examined for 13 (18 %) of tools. Scores from the Safety Attitudes Questionnaire and Team Climate Inventory have substantial validity evidence and have been associated with improved patient outcomes. LIMITATIONS: Review is limited to quantitative assessments of teamwork in internal medicine. CONCLUSIONS:There is strong validity evidence for several published tools assessing teamwork in internal medicine. However, few teamwork assessments have been directly linked to patient outcomes. 3,4 Recognizing this, the Institute of Medicine, the Joint Commission, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ), and others have made teamwork a top priority in their recommendations for improving healthcare. [5][6][7][8][9] Teamwork is also prominently positioned within the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) requirements for maintenance of certification for internists, 10 as well as the Accreditation Council for Graduate Medical Education's core competencies, 11 milestones, 12 and medical student competencies. 13 As such, every physician at the undergraduate, graduate, and continuing professional level must demonstrate competency in teamwork.While there is broad agreement on the imperative to improve teamwork, there is littl...
