“…Our results also were consistent with the findings of Shohani and Valizadeh (2017), who stated there was no statistically significant correlation between age, educational level, or nursing experience and nurse–nurse collaboration subscale scores. Furthermore, our results were in line with the findings of Durmuş et al (2018), who stated that no statistically significant differences were found between nurse–nurse collaboration subscale scores and marital status. However, our results contradicted the findings of Durmuş et al in terms of educational level, gender, and unit type.…”

Building a culture of safety in today's healthcare settings is a critically important issue. Therefore, collaboration is acknowledged as a significant policy method for approaching patient safety and healthcare workforce problems and altering the health system (World Health Organization, 2013). Collaboration has become a crucial element in different healthcare environments, with the end result of improving the standard and health outcomes of patient care (Hughes & Fitzpatrick, 2010). Collaboration is a complicated task involving active communication, individual awareness, and united responsibility in caring for patients (Shohani & Valizadeh, 2017). Ineffective collaboration has established stressful working environments that contribute to work dissatisfaction, poor patient outcomes, and nurses departing the profession (Tang, Zhou, Chan, & Liaw, 2018). In fact, poor collaboration is estimated to be the core cause of more than 70% of major medical incidents (Fewster-Thuente, 2015). Nurse-nurse collaboration is a difficult and multidimensional process that cannot happen by itself. A number of factors contribute to nurse-nurse collaboration, emotional intelligence being a primary factor.It is believed that emotional intelligence is the pipeline for improving the relationships and channels of communication between nurses. Furthermore, studies

“…The instrument has a 4‐point Likert‐type rating scale for each item, ranging from (a) strongly disagree, (b) disagree, (c) agree to (d) strongly agree. This instrument has been reported to have acceptable reliability with whole‐scale Cronbach alpha coefficient of 0.89–0.92 and individual subscale alphas ranging from 0.62–0.93 (Dougherty & Larson, 2010; Durmuş et al, 2018; Ylitömänen et al, 2019). The NNC Scale was the only tool identified from the literature that measures solely the level of collaboration between nurses.…”

“…These instruments are designed to measure perceptions of collaborative behaviour (Morley & Cashell, 2017) or a readiness to engage in collaboration (Emich, 2018). The Nurse‐Nurse Collaboration (NNC) Scale (Dougherty & Larson, 2010) is used to measure the general level of nurse‐to‐nurse collaboration within an organisation (Dougherty & Larson, 2010) and has been used in two recent studies (Durmuş et al, 2018; Ylitörmänen et al, 2019). In addition, a few instruments have been used to measure some elements of collaboration as a part of a larger study for example, where the main focus of the study was concerned with the actions and care planning in the care transition between hospital and primary health care (Marques Acosta et al, 2018).…”

Aims and objectives To assess the level of nurse‐to‐nurse collaboration during the transfer of older people between hospital and primary health care and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the newly developed Nurse‐to‐Nurse Collaboration Between Sectors Instrument. Background Nurse‐to‐nurse collaboration is required when older people transfer between hospital and primary health care to enhance the safety and continuity of care to patients. There is a lack of evidence about the nature and level of this collaboration. Design A cross‐sectional survey design was used. This study adhered to the STROBE checklist. Methods A sample of 443 nurses (university hospital n = 240, primary health care n = 203) participated in the study from October 2017 to June 2018. Nurses completed the Nurse‐to‐Nurse Collaboration Between Sectors Instrument (86 items, 7–point Likert‐type scale), the Nurse‐Nurse Collaboration Scale and the Patient‐Centred Competency Scale. Results Nurses rated the overall level of nurse‐to‐nurse collaboration moderately high (mean=4.49, standard deviation=0.83, maximum 7.00). Nurses considered collaboration an important and confidential process, gaining older people's trust in their care. Lower scores were given to the agreement of mutual objectives, policies and guidelines in collaboration, opportunities for job rotation and interacting and networking during the collaboration process. The internal consistency reliability of the newly developed instrument was acceptable. Conclusions Nurses collaborate with competence and confidentiality during the transfer of older people between care settings. However, there is a need for more opportunities to collaborate, to obtain mutual agreement about objectives, policies and practices, and better understand other nurse's roles and responsibilities in collaboration. The reliability and validity of the Nurse‐to‐Nurse Collaboration Between Sectors Instrument were acceptable though the number and wording of items will be reviewed and further tested. Relevance to clinical practice Nurses need opportunities to collaborate, and there is a need to develop agreed objectives, practices, roles and responsibilities in this collaboration.

Health is an indispensable element for individuals and the society. The primary goal of health care institutions is to improve human and public health. The coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has brought innovations and challenges to the health care system. 1 These difficulties, include ensuring that nurses working on the front lines, espe-cially during the pandemic, perform their jobs efficiently and effectively to ensure public safety. In addition, nurses work in close contact with patients during the detection and treatment of COVID-19. 2 The death toll among healthcare workers who are in close contact with patients is significant. 3 For these reasons, healthcare workers have experienced some
