Nurse-Physician Work Relations and Role Expectations

Documenting Rapid Response System afferent limb failure and associated patient outcomes

“…Other explanations may be that the patient's overall clinical condition may have appeared better than the vital signs first indicated, hospital cultural factors, such as lack or insufficient MET education, change of staff documenting subsequent vital signs, the willingness of ward staff to call a MET, the way a MET interacts with ward staff, preference to call the ward attending doctors, and the extent of collaboration amongst doctors and nurses. [18][19][20] Nurses were more likely to call a MET for patients with ALF, and patients with ALF were more likely to have had a critical care review prior to an event. This suggests that some other ward-based interventions, instead of a MET, may have been triggered instead of a call.…”

Nurses’ professional values and attitudes toward collaboration with physicians

“…[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Collaborative practice is mandated by multiple organizations, and each profession has responded in unique ways and the roles of healthcare professionals are usually seen in ''parallel rather than partnership.'' 8 Many factors contribute to this lack of collaboration, including differing perspectives, values, role competition, turf issues, and a physician-dominated hierarchy. 9 Thus, when attempting to practice in an interprofessional manner, conflict often arises among providers because health professions have diverse values.…”

Attitudes towards collaboration and servant leadership among nurses, physicians and residents

“…This study's findings serve as an attempt to begin filling this gap and as the impetus for future studies. The connection between collaboration and leadership style is frequently made in collaboration research (Almost & Laschinger, 2002;Boswell & Cannon, 2005;Casanova et al, 2007;Gardner, 2005;Laschinger, Almost, & Tuer-Hodes, 2003;Schmalenberg et al, 2005). Therefore in this study attitudes toward both collaboration and servant leadership were explored.…”
