The purpose of this study was to compare the attitudes of anesthesiologists and nurse anesthetists toward collaboration with each other. Data for this descriptive, comparative study were gathered through a mailed survey to 501 nurse anesthetists and 353 anesthesiologists licensed to practice in 7 state of the United States. Attitude toward collaboration was measured using an adaptation of the Jefferson Scale of Attitudes Toward Physician-Nurse Collaboration. The mean total scores were compared using the t test for independent groups. Mean total scores were higher for the nurse anesthetist group (n = 238) compared with the anesthesiologist group (n = 66). Analysis demonstrated that this difference was significant (t = 14.6, P < .05). Additional analyses failed to show a significant difference based on sexual gender. The results of this study provide some evidence that the divergent perspectives regarding collaboration previously demonstrated between physicians and nurses may also exist in the specialty field of anesthesia. This study provided no support for the supposition that gender contributes to the differences in attitude toward collaboration between physicians and nurses.
本研究的目的是比较麻醉医师和麻醉护士相互协作的态度。这项描述性比较研究的数据是通过对美国7个州501名麻醉护士和353名有执业资格的麻醉医师进行邮寄调查收集的。使用改编后的杰斐逊医生 - 护士协作态度量表来衡量协作态度。使用独立样本t检验比较平均总分。与麻醉医师组（n = 66）相比，麻醉护士组（n = 238）的平均总分更高。分析表明这种差异具有统计学意义（t = 14.6，P <.05）。进一步分析未显示基于性别的显著差异。本研究结果提供了一些证据，表明之前在医生和护士之间表现出的关于协作的不同观点在麻醉专业领域可能也存在。本研究不支持性别导致医生和护士协作态度差异的假设。
