A student-run course in interprofessional relations.

The topic of working relationships among health professionals is one which has long been neglected in professional school curricula. During the winter of 1976 students from four health professions--medicine, nursing, occupational therapy, and physical therapy--initiated a course designed to improve their knowledge of one another's training and skills, with the larger aim of preparing themselves to work in health care teams. The nine weekly meetings are described in terms of their content and students' reactions. In the discussion the underlying themes of legal responsibilities and of sex-roles as factors in health care team functioning are identified. Suggestions are made about format and techniques that seem to be useful for courses of this type.

Professional identities and interprofessional relations: evaluation of collaborative community schemes.

Despite the widespread support for integrated community care in the U.K., interdisciplinary working between health and social service staff remains complex and tentative. This paper represents the findings of an evaluative research study of two collaborative community nursing schemes at differing stages of project development within West Yorkshire, England. The studies set out to explore in depth the ways social and health care professionals construe their identity and relationships within the changing context of collaborative projects. The research adopted a constructivist phenomenological approach, conducting focus groups with social workers and district nurses; supplemented by in-depth individual interviews. Using template analysis enabled the researchers to explore themes and issues generated from the groups and individuals. A number of areas associated with professional identity and the development of roles in response to changing situations were identified as pertinent including; role ambiguity, role erosion and extension. In cases where joint working required a reconstructing of professional identity, individuals were constrained by their personal meanings, organizational arrangements and public perceptions. Implications for research and practice are discussed.

Interprofessional relations: case studies of working relationships between Registered Nurses and general practitioners in rural Australia.

Interprofessional working relationships of nurses and doctors have been discussed in the literature but are less frequently the subject of research. A review of international research on nurse-doctor professional relationships conducted over 30 years (1966-99) shows that the relationship is of interest predominantly to nurses. From a series of interviews with nurses and doctors, as part of a case study of four rural health services, harmonious working relationships between nurses and doctors were examined. Further analysis reveals many aspects of nurse-doctor relationships that are traditional and common across many contexts. There are, however, some aspects that are specific to the rural nature of the working context and relate well to contemporary advances in nursing knowledge and confidence.
