BACKGROUND:Interprofessional collaboration is an important aspect of patient discharge from a general internal medicine (GIM) unit. However, there has been minimal empirical or theoretical research that has examined interactions that occur between medical residents and other healthcare professionals in the discharge process. This study provides insight into the social processes that shape and characterize such interactions. OBJECTIVE: To explore factors that shape interactions between medical residents and other healthcare professionals in relation to patient discharge, and to examine the opportunities for negotiations about discharge between these professional groups. DESIGN: A qualitative ethnographic approach using observations, interviews and documentary analysis. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING: Healthcare professionals working in a GIM unit in Canada. APPROACH: Sixty-five hours of observations were undertaken in a range of settings (e.g. interprofessional rounds, medical and nursing rounds, nursing station) in the unit over a 17-month period. A maximum variation sampling approach was used to identify healthcare professionals working in the unit. Twenty-three interviews were completed, recorded and transcribed verbatim. A directed content approach using theories of medical dominance and negotiated order was used to analyze the data. KEY RESULTS: The organization of clinical work in combination with clinical teaching influenced interprofessional interactions and the quality of discharge in this GIM unit. While organizational activities (orientation and rounds) and individual activities (e.g. role modeling, teaching) supported negotiations between medical residents and other healthcare professionals around discharge, participants had varied perspectives about their effectiveness. CONCLUSIONS: This study illuminates social factors and processes that require attention in order to address challenges with interprofessional collaboration and discharge in GIM. These findings have implications for medical education, workplace learning, patient safety and quality improvement.KEY WORDS: Medical education-practice-based learning; Qualitative research; Quality improvement; Health services research.

RESUMENObjetivos Caracterizar las representaciones sociales de la maternidad y el embarazo en adolescentes que están cursando su primer embarazo y en adolescentes con más de un embarazo. Materiales y métodos Investigación cualitativa interpretativa. Como métodos de recolección de información se utilizaron: red de asociaciones, entrevista en profundidad y la observación participante. Se utilizó la triangulación metodológica individual y por grupo de participantes. Resultados Las representaciones sociales del embarazo y la maternidad en adolescentes convergentes en ambas poblaciones (primigestantes y multigestantes) son: nuevo estatus social, miedo al rechazo familiar y decisiones trascendentales. Y las representaciones sociales exclusivas de las primigestantes son: la postergación de los estudios, la dependencia familiar y económica y la figura del padre como proveedor; las de las multigestantes a su vez están ligadas a la deserción escolar, la inde-pendencia familiar y económica y el padre del hijo es contenedor emocional. Además, el bebé ocupa un lugar diferenciado en los dos grupos. Mientras que en las multigestantes hace parte del núcleo figurativo de la representación ligado al amor, en las primigestantes no es el centro de atención y queda relegada su importancia frente a otros contenidos de la representación. Conclusiones Definitivamente, el estudio muestra que no es por ignorancia o falta de información que las adolescentes se embarazan. El embarazo

‘I have faith in science and in God’: Common sense, cognitive polyphasia and attitudes to science in Nigeria

This study, of modern common sense in Nigeria, combines questionnaires and interviews to examine the compatibility and incompatibility of religion and science. Nigeria is a large country with a complex diversity of religious, ethnic and cultural practices that condition the reception and elaboration of science in everyday life. We find evaluative attitudes to science structured as ‘progress’, ‘fear’ and ‘mythical image’. Scientific knowledge and religiosity have a direct bearing on expectations of progress and feeling of fear and worry about science; mythical image is independent of this. Nigerians trust both scientific and religious authorities in contrast to other social actors. Many of the results are consistent with the hypothesis of cognitive polyphasia of scientific and religious knowing manifesting as a ‘hierarchy’, when one form is elevated over the other; ‘parallelity’, when both serve separate functions; and ‘empowerment’, where one enhances the other.
