CRITICAL CARE Interdisciplinary communication in the intensive care unit
نویسندگان
چکیده
Results. A sample of 48 doctors and 136 nurses (47% response rate) from four ICUs responded to the survey. Nurses and doctors were found to have differing perceptions of interdisciplinary communication, with nurses reporting lower levels of communication openness between nurses and doctors. Compared with senior doctors, trainee doctors also reported lower levels of communication openness between doctors. A regression path analysis revealed that communication openness among ICU team members predicted the degree to which individuals reported understanding their patient care goals (R1⁄40.17). It also showed that perceptions of the quality of unit leadership predicted open communication.
