Abstract

Purpose This study aims to determine whether elder care nurses engage in knowledge sharing and reflection within their teams and if these team-learning activities influence an elder care nursing team’s performance. Furthermore, the authors investigated the relation between elder care nurses' estimation of the team climate as being safe and team-learning activities. Design/methodology/approach For this research, a questionnaire survey of 30 elder care nursing teams (N = 30, n = 149) working in 17 different retirement homes was conducted. Findings Structural equation model showed significant positive relations between knowledge sharing and team performance, and between reflection and knowledge sharing. A safe team climate had a significantly positive influence on reflection. Originality/value Little is known about the performance of elder care nursing teams, how to measure team performance in this domain and how performance is influenced by learning activities. This study fills these gaps by providing an insight into the relationship between team-learning activities and team performance. Team performance was measured by the estimation of the team members and by using performance assessments from an independent institution.

老年护理中的团队学习、团队绩效与安全团队氛围

目的本研究旨在探讨长者护理护士是否参与团队内的知识分享与反思，以及这些团队学习活动是否会影响长者护理团队的绩效。此外，作者还调查了老年护理护士对团队氛围的安全评价与团队学习活动之间的关系。设计/方法/方法本研究对17个不同养老院的30个老年护理团队(N = 30, N = 149)进行问卷调查。结果结构方程模型显示知识共享与团队绩效、反思与知识共享之间存在显著正相关。安全的团队氛围对反思有显著的正向影响。独创性/价值对于老年护理团队的绩效、如何衡量团队在这一领域的绩效以及学习活动对绩效的影响知之甚少。本研究通过提供对团队学习活动与团队绩效之间关系的洞察来填补这些空白。团队绩效是通过对团队成员的评估和使用来自独立机构的绩效评估来衡量的。
