Abstract

Objective: To determine if professional roles and demographic characteristics predict relational coordination (RC) among healthcare professionals in the ICU.

Background: Race, age, and sex diversity are increasing in the medical and nursing workforce, raising questions regarding how well healthcare professionals are collaborating. RC is a validated model for coordinating interdependent work among healthcare professionals.

Methods: The research team conducted a secondary analysis from a 2-group parallel randomized controlled trial. Study variables were examined using multiple regression.

Results: One hundred two participants completed the survey. Professional role, race, age, and experience were not associated with RC. Sex and education were significantly associated with RC. Males and participants with bachelor's degrees reported higher RC within roles.

Conclusion: Diverse and inclusive work environments are critical to patient and staff outcomes. Nurse leaders can use RC to foster teamwork and coordinate patient care among healthcare professionals, despite demographic characteristics and professional roles.

ICU团队的人口统计学特征和关系协调：建立多样化和有效的医疗合作的意义。

目的：确定专业角色和人口统计学特征是否能预测ICU医护人员之间的关系协调（RC）。背景：医疗和护理人员的种族、年龄和性别多样性正在增加，这就提出了有关医疗保健专业人员合作程度的问题。RC是一个经过验证的模型，用于协调医疗保健专业人员之间相互依赖的工作。方法：研究组采用两组平行随机对照试验进行二次分析。采用多元回归对研究变量进行检验。结果：共102人完成调查。职业角色、种族、年龄和经验与RC无关。性和教育程度与RC显著相关。男性和拥有学士学位的参与者报告了更高的角色RC。结论：多样化和包容性的工作环境对患者和工作人员的结果至关重要。尽管有人口特征和专业角色，护士领导可以使用RC来培养团队合作和协调医疗保健专业人员之间的患者护理。
