“…Nonetheless, 21.3% of the nurses endorsed this support need. The need for one permanent contact person for persons with dementia and their families corresponds to earlier findings, showing that fragmentation in dementia care delivery and nonpersonalized care is a well-recognized obstacle (Khemai et al, 2020).…”

“…By appointing one permanent contact person, different responsibilities between healthcare professionals become more clear and information between healthcare professionals might be shared more effectively (Khemai et al, 2020). Persons with dementia are particularly vulnerable to the consequences of fragmented care, especially during end-of-life care.…”

“…Seven studies reported findings related to having a shared language [ 28 , 29 , 31 , 32 , 34 , 36 , 37 ]. Each professional has their own expertise, background and educational level, which often results in different professional languages and phrases being used to describe the same phenomena.…”

Background Healthcare professionals in nursing homes face complex care demands and nursing staff shortages. As a result, nursing homes are transforming into home-like personalised facilities that deliver person-centred care. These challenges and changes require an interprofessional learning culture in nursing homes, but there is little understanding of the facilitators that contribute to developing such a culture. This scoping review aims to identify those facilitators. Methods A scoping review was performed in accordance with the JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis (2020). The search was carried out in 2020–2021 in seven international databases (PubMed, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Medline, Embase, PsycINFO and Web of Science). Two researchers independently extracted reported facilitators that contribute to an interprofessional learning culture in nursing homes. Then the researchers inductively clustered the extracted facilitators into categories. Results In total, 5,747 studies were identified. After removing duplicates and screening titles, abstracts and full texts, 13 studies that matched the inclusion criteria were included in this scoping review. We identified 40 facilitators and clustered them into eight categories: (1) shared language, (2) shared goals, (3) clear tasks and responsibilities, (4) learning and sharing knowledge, (5) work approaches, (6) facilitating and supporting change and creativity by the frontline manager, (7) an open attitude, and (8) a safe, respectful and transparent environment. Conclusion We found facilitators that could be used to discuss the current interprofessional learning culture in nursing homes and identify where improvements are required. Further research is needed to discover how to operationalise facilitators that develop an interprofessional learning culture in nursing homes and to gain insights into what works, for whom, to what extent and in what context.

Aim To explore the perceived quality of collaboration in dehydration care among nursing and medical staff in Dutch nursing homes. Design A cross‐sectional study. Methods An online questionnaire was administered to nursing and medical staff in February 2020 to assess the quality of collaboration in dehydration care and its influencing factors. Descriptive statistics, chi‐square tests and multinomial logistic regression analysis were used to describe the results and examine differences between groups. Results In total, 695 questionnaires were completed by multiple levels of (specialized) nursing staff and nursing home physicians. The quality of collaboration was assessed as good (23.2%), sufficient (59.4%) and insufficient (17.4%). Predicting factors related to perceiving the quality of collaboration as good were working experience, dehydration training during education and the presence of a dehydration protocol/guideline in the nursing home. Enabling factors related to collaboration in dehydration care were ‘availability of sufficient aids to detect dehydration’, ‘continuity in the care relationship’ and ‘sufficient background data of the resident in the care record’. Factors that hinder collaboration were ‘insufficient knowledge about dehydration among nursing and medical staff’, ‘the absence of a team meeting in which the topic dehydration is discussed’ and ‘insufficient staffing level among nursing and medical staff’. Conclusion Collaboration in dehydration care was generally assessed as sufficient. Participants with >10 years of working experience, who received dehydration training during their education and had a dehydration protocol/guideline available in the nursing home, perceived the quality of collaboration more often as good. Experienced barriers and enablers for collaboration in dehydration care varied between professional groups. Therefore, it is important to gain more insight into (informal) caregivers’ perceptions on what is expected from each other about dehydration care. Impact Care professionals experience several limiting factors in collaborating in dehydration care. Addressing these factors could optimize dehydration care in Dutch nursing homes.
