Professional stereotypes in interprofessional health care teams collaborating in long-term care facilities

Existing models, typically encompass only competence/agency and warmth/communicative ability dimensions, neglecting a crucial aspect - being a team player. This additional dimension gauges a professional's ability to coordinate and lead teamwork within a specific profession. There is evidence of professional stereotypes among employed professional in health care. There is a combined impact of hetero-stereotypes (perceptions of other professions) and auto-stereotypes (internalized perceptions of one's own profession) on interprofessional interactions.
