Challenges and best practices for moving forward in interprofessional collaboration in critical care units: nurses’ perspectives

On the one hand, nurses with baccalaureate degrees expressed lower satisfaction with IPC. On the other hand, five categories were suggested by the nurses as best practices for moving forward in their collaboration with the physicians, these include physician attitudes toward the nurses, communication tools and skills, nurses' roles clarification, interprofessional conflict resolution, and support and motivation. Implementation of the results of the current study will improve patient outcomes by preventing oversights, medication errors, and redundant interventions. In addition to creating relaxed working conditions, improving the morale of the healthcare team, job satisfaction, and decreased staff turnover.
