“…The nurse-physician collaboration affects the quality of care. [1][2][3][4][5][6] The educational system in our country has undergone profound changes in recent years with the introduction of the degree in nursing sciences, which has abolished the concept of job description. This change, which has equated the role of the two health professionals, has altered the traditional scheme with the physician focusing his/her attention on the clinical case knowledge and the nurse taking care of the person knowledge and patient needs.…”

Several authors (reviewed by Cypress 7 ) have addressed the nurse-physician collaboration since 1986 using the concept analysis developed by Rodgers. ABSTRACTThe nurse-physician relationship is undergoing profound changes after the introduction of the degree in nursing sciences. We conducted a survey among 18 Internal Medicine Units in Liguria region to investigate the real picture of this collaboration, using the Jefferson collaboration scale (JCS) and the nurse-physician collaboration scale (NPCS). We sent anonymous questionnaires to 580 nurses and 180 physicians of whom over 50% responded. Of 15 items of JCS and 27 of NPCS, 9 (60%) and 13 (48.1%) did not show different opinions between nurses and physicians, respectively. However, significant differences were observed on several items, including the caring process, the nurse autonomy, the physician authority and the human relationship. On the question: The primary function of the nurse is to carry out the physician's orders, 23% of the nurses and 33% of physicians agreed, whereas only 46% of the nurses and 22% of the physicians strongly disagreed (P<0.001). Our study demonstrates the desire of nurses and physicians to cooperate, although some differences are still evident and require plans of improvement.

Despite a major shift in the care of older adults from acute care to home health, few home health care nurses are adequately prepared to manage the complex needs of geriatric patients. This study examined the feasibility of a web-based education program to help nurses improve their treatment of geriatric pain and depression. Nurses' knowledge, confidence, and attitudes were assessed before and 3 months after a web-based education program. Nurses randomized to the experimental group showed significant improvement in attitudes 3 months after the intervention, however little long-term retention of knowledge. This study showed it is feasible to perform web-based geriatric training to nurses in home health care, though it needs to be accompanied by structural and procedural changes in care for long-term success.
