However, nurse-physician collaboration and barriers to attending these rounds are not well-examined. This study aimed to examine the collaboration of nurses and physicians and their perceived barriers to interprofessional bedside rounds. A cross-sectional survey was conducted on 371 medical ward-based nurses and physicians from an acute care tertiary hospital in Singapore, using a 27-item Nurse-Physician Collaboration Scale and a 21-item Perceived Barriers to Interprofessional Bedside Rounds questionnaire. The overall Nurse-Physician Collaboration scores indicated positive attitudes toward nurse-physician collaboration in bedside rounds, with no significant difference found between nurses and physicians. While the sharing of information was reported to be the most frequent collaborative activity, the cooperative relationship was rated to be the least frequent behavior. The highest ranked barriers were related to time-related issues. The nurses reported a significantly greater perceived barrier in attending bedside round than the physicians. To optimize nurse-physician collaboration, the study advocates healthcare leaders to foster cooperative relationships between nurses and physicians and to reorganize ward routines to provide designated time periods for nurses to attend rounds. | Source Title: | JOURNAL OF INTERPROFESSIONAL CARE | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/219282 | ISSN: | 13561820 14699567 |
