Interdisciplinary teams in rehabilitation are effective for positive patient outcomes. They require skills in team building and interprofessional collaboration. The Institute of Medicine has interdisciplinary teams as one of the five core competencies for healthcare workers. In reviewing the literature on teams, several themes were developed, such as communication, collaboration, understanding of roles, and educational levels of team members. Using these themes, a survey was developed to assess perceptions of teams by rehabilitation nurses, physical therapists, and occupational therapists. Significant findings came from questions on educational levels of team members between nurses and occupational therapists and also within the nursing groups. Open-ended questions asked about barriers and facilitators for effective teams. We hope that these pilot results will lead to discussions on how to improve interdisciplinary teams and make them more effective for better patient outcomes.
康复领域的跨学科团队对患者取得积极治疗效果很有效。它们需要团队建设和跨专业协作方面的技能。医学研究所将跨学科团队列为医护人员的五项核心能力之一。在回顾有关团队的文献时,形成了几个主题,如沟通、协作、角色理解以及团队成员的教育水平。利用这些主题,开展了一项调查,以评估康复护士、物理治疗师和职业治疗师对团队的看法。重要发现来自关于护士与职业治疗师之间以及护理群体内部团队成员教育水平的问题。开放式问题询问了有效团队的障碍和促进因素。我们希望这些初步结果将引发关于如何改进跨学科团队并使其更有效地实现更好患者治疗效果的讨论。
