Abstract
Background: Effective communication in healthcare is essential for ensuring teamwork that is continuous, effective, and efficient. It plays a crucial role in supporting comprehensive and holistic care for patients while also guaranteeing the safety and satisfaction of the services provided.
Objective: To determine the relationship between effective communication (as well as its dimensions: transmission of institutional culture, source of employee motivation, and facilitation of teamwork and conflict resolution) and teamwork among nurses in a national hospital in Peru.
Methods: The research employed a quantitative, correlational, cross-sectional approach with a non-experimental design. The study population consisted of 328 nurses working in various hospital departments between January and October 2024. Data were collected using two questionnaires: The first assessed effective communication through three dimensions: transmission of institutional culture, source of employee motivation, and facilitation of teamwork and conflict resolution. The second instrument evaluated teamwork across three dimensions: institutional context, composition, and process.
Results: A very strong positive correlation was observed between effective communication and teamwork among nurses, with a coefficient of 0.925 and a p value < 0.01.
Conclusions: The study found a strong link between effective communication and teamwork among nurses. It underscores the role of communication, organizational culture, and motivation in strengthening teamwork, which enhances patient care and healthcare delivery. The findings highlight the impact of institutional culture, motivation, and conflict resolution, emphasizing soft skills and ethical behavior in improving team dynamics and organizational strategies.
