Collaboration between nurses is crucial in improving quality in healthcare and plays a key role in increasing nurses' job satisfaction.
Our study aimed to investigate the level of collaboration between nurses working in Turkey and Italy and its related factors. The study also deepened the point of view of clinical nurses and nurse managers on this topic.
This study was carried out as mixed-methods research including both qualitative and quantitative methods. The study's quantitative sample included 348 clinical nurses. The Nurse-Nurse Collaboration Scale was used to collect quantitative data. Five open-ended questions were used to analyse the nurses' point of view about intraprofessional collaboration. Individual interviews were conducted with 10 clinical nurses and 10 nurse managers.
Nurse-nurse collaboration was above the cut off value in both countries. However, significant inter-country differences were found in the collaboration subscales. Qualitative results emphasised that personal characteristics, a specific training in collaboration, the opportunities for comparison and mutual consultation during working shifts may affect the level of collaboration. Nurse managers argued that factors such as manpower planning, suitable working conditions, sufficient materials, empathy, job satisfaction, motivation and effective communication affect collaboration.
Greater efforts should be made to implement collaboration between nurses in healthcare settings. Our results help healthcare services in implementing new collaboration policies.
护士之间的协作对于提高医疗保健质量至关重要，并且在提高护士工作满意度方面发挥着关键作用。
我们的研究旨在调查土耳其和意大利护士之间的协作水平及其相关因素。该研究还深化了临床护士和护士管理者对这一主题的看法。
本研究采用混合方法进行，包括定性和定量方法。该研究的定量样本包括348名临床护士。使用护士-护士协作量表收集定量数据。五个开放式问题用于分析护士对专业内协作的看法。对10名临床护士和10名护士管理者进行了个人访谈。
两国护士之间的协作均高于临界值。然而，在协作子量表中发现了显著的国家间差异。定性结果强调，个人特征、协作方面的特定培训、轮班期间的比较和相互协商机会可能会影响协作水平。护士管理者认为，人力规划、合适的工作条件、充足的物资、同理心、工作满意度、动机和有效沟通等因素会影响协作。
应做出更大努力在医疗环境中实施护士之间的协作。我们的结果有助于医疗服务机构实施新的协作政策。
