“…The interventions of transdisciplinary health care teams are based on a consensus-seeking process; as a result, traditional boundaries between disciplines are transcended, and solutions to complex problems can be proposed (Paul & Peterson, 2001).…”

The underlying rationale to support interdisciplinary collaboration in geriatrics and gerontology is based on the complexity of elderly care. The most important characteristic about interdisciplinary health care teams for older people in Latin America is their subjective-basis framework. In other regions, teams are organized according to a theoretical knowledge basis with well-justified priorities, functions, and long-term goals, in Latin America teams are arranged according to subjective interests on solving their problems. Three distinct approaches of interdisciplinary collaboration in gerontology are proposed. The first approach is grounded in the scientific rationalism of European origin. Denominated "logical-rational approach," its core is to identify the significance of knowledge. The second approach is grounded in pragmatism and is more associated with a North American tradition. The core of this approach consists in enhancing the skills and competences of each participant; denominated "logical-instrumental approach." The third approach denominated "logical-subjective approach" has a Latin America origin. Its core consists in taking into account the internal and emotional dimensions of the team. These conceptual frameworks based in geographical contexts will permit establishing the differences and shared characteristics of interdisciplinary collaboration in geriatrics and gerontology to look for operational answers to solve the "complex problems" of older adults.

“…Although motivation to collaborate is essential, implementation is often challenging particularly when individual members' unique attitudes and styles of practice are not conducive to teamwork as Paul and Peterson (2001) proposed in their paper. Suter et al (2009) argued that the ability to work collaboratively requires a specific set of competencies.…”

“…The determinants include different training, traditions, interests, roles, beliefs and values of the professionals (Riley, 1997). Literature relating specifically to occupational therapists highlights the impact of different cultural and professional systems of therapists and educators, resulting in conflicting perspectives and philosophies (Bose & Hinojosa, 2008;Nochajski, 2001;Paul & Peterson, 2001) and role confusion making it difficult for collaboration to take place (Nochajski). Although the authors of one study identified a perceived expert status held by the occupational therapists (Bose & Hinojosa), social system factors such as power struggles and conflict over hierarchy did not feature strongly for occupational therapists in the literature reviewed.…”

“…Often a definition is absent; terms are used interchangeably or can describe varying degrees of collaboration (D'Amour, Ferrada-Videla, MartinRodriguez & Beaulieu, 2005). Variations described include: cooperation (Walsh, Brabeck & Howard, 1999), collaborative consultation, teaming (Coben, Thomas, Sattler & Morsink, 1997;Knackendoffel, 2005) and multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary collaboration (Paul & Peterson, 2001). Despite the inconsistency in definition and terminology, the literature reports common features of collaboration including joint communication and goal setting.…”

Collaboration between occupational therapists and teachers: Definitions, implementation and efficacy

Although there is much anecdotal desire for collaboration, empirical evidence is limited, but positive. Professionals express desire for collaboration, but the implementation appears inconsistent, and poorly researched. The literature outlines factors, which support collaboration in practice including interactional, organisational and systemic factors. Using this model, strategies for successful collaboration can be formulated. Results indicate a need for research into appropriate models of practice for an Australian context, and particularly for states, where the health and education systems are not well integrated.

“…Other factors include power differences among the professions, territoriality and fear of domain infringement (Geva, Barsky, & Westernoff, 2000;Hornby & Atkins, 2000), role insecurity (Hornby & Atkins, 2000) and the perceived need for clinical autonomy (Loxley, 1997). These barriers to interprofessional collaboration are duplicated within the postsecondary institutions where health and human service professionals are trained (Paul & Peterson, 2001).…”

What's in it for Us? Making the Case for Interprofessional Field Education Experiences for Social Work Students

There continues to be resistance amongst the various healthcare professions regarding implementing an interprofessional agenda in practice and education settings. This partly is due to the protection of professional turf. This article describes the experiences of Canadian social work students participating in an interprofessional field education program with other healthcare students. The authors report what the social work students gained from the experience and what they were able to contribute to other healthcare students. The authors conclude that interprofessional education and practice enhances rather than threatens the role of social work in healthcare settings.
