Abstract

Background and Aim: Front-line medical teams are experiencing unprecedented stressors as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the face of these pressures, teamwork has become both more important and more challenging. During the crisis, people trying to work together who may not have done so under 'normal' conditions. Therefore, this study will be conducted to investigate the attitudes and barriers to teamwork from the perspective of intensive care unit nurses in the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study from October 2020 to January 2021, 97 nurses working in intensive care units were selected according to the inclusion criteria. The data collection tool was a standard questionnaire to assess the attitude towards teamwork and assessment of barriers to teamwork, which was completed by the participants after validity and reliability. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent t-test in SPSS software version 25. Results: The mean score of nurses' attitude to teamwork was 127.82 ± 10.4. The amount of barriers in the workplace for optimal teamwork was reported by 54 (55.67%) high, 32 (32.3%) low and 11 (11.34%) unimpeded. Most barriers to teamwork were reported with nursing managers, organization managers, consulting physicians and therapists and the least barriers were reported with radiology staff and nurses. Conclusion: The performance of nursing managers and the weakness of intra-group relationships are the most important barriers to teamwork in the pandemic situation. In order to provide quality teamwork in the pandemic situation, job descriptions and plans should be provided by the managers of the organization and nurses should receive adequate training in this field. © 2021 Baqiyatallah University of Medical Sciences.

COVID-19大流行中重症监护病房护士的团队合作态度与障碍
背景和目的:由于COVID-19大流行,一线医疗团队正面临前所未有的压力。面对这些压力,团队合作变得更加重要,也更具挑战性。在危机期间,人们试图一起工作,而在“正常”情况下可能不会这样做。因此,本研究将从COVID-19大流行重症监护病房护士的角度调查团队合作的态度和障碍。方法:采用描述性分析方法,选取2020年10月至2021年1月期间在重症监护病房工作的97名护士。数据收集工具为一份标准问卷,用于评估被试对团队合作的态度和团队合作障碍的评估,经效度和信度检验后由被试完成。数据分析采用SPSS软件25版的描述性统计和独立t检验。结果:护士团队合作态度平均得分为127.82±10.4分。工作场所阻碍最佳团队合作的障碍有54个(55.67%)高,32个(32.3%)低,11个(11.34%)畅通。护理经理、组织经理、咨询医生和治疗师被认为是团队合作的最大障碍,而放射科工作人员和护士被认为是团队合作的最小障碍。结论:大流行疫情下,护理管理者的工作表现和团队内关系薄弱是影响团队合作的最主要障碍。为了在大流行情况下提供高质量的团队合作,该组织的管理人员应提供工作说明和计划,护士应接受这方面的充分培训。©2021巴基亚塔拉医学科学大学。版权所有。
