This paper seeks to establish whether the presence of core structures influences professionals' perceptions of interprofessional working within their teams by means of a cross-sectional questionnaire survey of all professionals working in integrated community mental health teams in an identified NHS Trust. The findings confirm that the interprofessional teams were integrated, but that the presence of meetings, Care Programme Approach policy or operational policy had little influence on perceptions of interprofessional working. Joint policies on documentation, risk and supervision were related to perceptions of interprofessional working. The majority of professionals were clear about their roles, but perceived that other members of the team did not recognise or understand these roles. Questions arise about how identified structures are operationalised in interprofessional teams. Practice areas may need to examine the effectiveness of the identified meetings and the involvement of the different professionals.
本文旨在通过对某特定国民健康服务信托基金旗下综合社区心理健康团队中的所有专业人员进行横断面问卷调查，来确定核心结构的存在是否会影响专业人员对其团队内部跨专业协作的认知。研究结果证实，跨专业团队是整合的，但会议、护理计划方案政策或运营政策的存在对跨专业协作认知的影响甚微。关于文件记录、风险和监督的联合政策与跨专业协作认知相关。大多数专业人员清楚自己的角色，但认为团队中的其他成员没有认识到或理解这些角色。关于已确定的结构在跨专业团队中如何实施产生了疑问。实践领域可能需要审视已确定会议的有效性以及不同专业人员的参与情况。
