Changes within the health care system have created opportunities for emerging models of care delivery, including collaborative nursing teams. Collaboration between RNs and interprofessional teams supports improved care delivery outcomes. One promising strategy to enhance collaboration is the use of dedicated education units, which are academic-clinical partnerships that facilitate nursing student learning. This descriptive, quantitative study described and compared perceptions of nursing students about nurse-to-nurse collaboration witnessed in dedicated education units and traditional clinical units. Data gathered with the Nurse-to-Nurse Collaboration Scale (NNCS) were analyzed using descriptive statistics and t tests. Findings demonstrate a significant difference on the visual analogue scales for nurse-to-nurse and nurse-to-nursing student collaboration, by type of unit. The NNCS findings indicated differences in the shared processes, coordination, communication, and conflict management subdomains. Further research in the area of collaboration among nurses and dedicated education units is recommended.
医疗体系的变化为新型医疗服务模式创造了机会，包括合作型护理团队。注册护士与多专业团队之间的协作有助于改善医疗服务成果。提升协作水平的一个有前景的策略是使用专门的教育单元，这是一种学术-临床合作关系，有助于护理学生的学习。这项描述性、定量研究描述并比较了护理学生对在专门教育单元和传统临床单元中观察到的护护协作的看法。使用护士间协作量表（NNCS）收集的数据进行了描述性统计和 t 检验分析。研究结果表明，根据单元类型，在护护协作和护护学生协作的视觉模拟量表上存在显著差异。NNCS 的研究结果表明，在共享流程、协调、沟通和冲突管理子领域存在差异。建议在护士和专门教育单元之间的协作领域开展进一步研究。
