To examine registered nurses', licensed practical nurses' and health care aides' perceptions of their and each other's roles.
Nursing team members' perceptions about their own and each other's roles affect how they understand their contributions to patient care and their work relationships and social status within health care organisations. There is a paucity of literature on how nursing team members perceive their roles and those of their colleagues.
Secondary analysis of qualitative data using qualitative description. The parent study used grounded theory to examine nursing care for hospitalized older adults.
Conventional content analysis of interview transcripts and field notes from the original study.
All nursing team members reported satisfaction from providing direct care. Registered nurses were uniquely responsible for leadership. Scope-of-practice changes contributed to role confusion and tension among team members.
More research is needed to better understand how to support nursing teams learning about one another.
Nurse managers could facilitate clarification about nursing roles and support effective role deployment.
调查注册护士、执业护师和助理护士对其自身角色和彼此角色的看法。
护理团队成员对自己和他人角色的看法会影响他们对自己在患者护理中的贡献以及在医疗机构中的工作关系和社会地位的理解。关于护理团队成员如何看待自己的角色以及同事的角色，文献资料十分匮乏。
使用定性描述法对定性数据进行二次分析。母研究采用扎根理论来考察对住院老年患者的护理。
对原始研究的访谈记录和现场笔记进行常规内容分析。
所有护理团队成员都表示提供直接护理会感到满意。注册护士具有独特的领导责任。实践范围的变化导致团队成员之间角色混淆和紧张。
需要进一步研究以更好地了解如何支持护理团队了解彼此。
护理管理人员可以促进对护理角色的澄清，并支持有效的角色部署。
