We scrutinized the psychometric properties of the TeamSTEPPS Teamwork Attitudes Questionnaire (T-TAQ) and Teamwork Perceptions Questionnaire (T-TPQ) among 301 health care professionals in Thailand. This study follows an instrument testing design guided by two phases: I) Translation phase and II) Psychometric properties testing. A content validity index (CVI), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and McDonald's omega were conducted. The study presents confirmatory factor analyses and descriptive data. Both the T-TAQ and T-TPQ are self-administered questionnaires consisting of 27 and 32 items, respectively, utilizing a five-point Likert scale to assess five key components: Team structure, Leadership, Situation monitoring, Mutual support, and Communication. Psychometric evaluations indicated good internal consistency and validity for these instruments among Thai health care professionals, with McDonald's omega values ranging from 0.68 to 0.89 for T-TAQ and 0.85 to 0.95 for T-TPQ. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the construct validity of both the Thai T-TAQ and T-TPQ. The T-TAQ and T-TPQ prove to be reliable and valid instruments. The scale can be effectively utilized as a tool for assessing Thai health professionals' teamwork attitudes and perceptions.</p>","PeriodicalId":50174,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interprofessional Care","volume":" ","pages":"267-274"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143014861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Professionals should be interprofessionally competent to meet patients' care needs holistically and individually. Meeting patients and relatives with respect is vital, but respectful behavior and communication among professionals are also highlighted in palliative care.

It aims to provide new insight into how investigations of patient-centeredness as a reflexive achievement allow us to better understand the organizational and relational efforts required to achieve it in practice. This contribution outlines how different healthcare contexts result in variety in the meeting frequency, duration, aims, participants, and agendas, which in turn means that the opportunities for patient-centeredness are not the same. But it also illustrates how patient-centeredness depends on the ways the various opportunities are seized and play out in the interprofessional interactions.

The picture becomes increasingly complex as most healthcare professionals work in teams, and resilient individuals do not necessarily make resilient teams. As many healthcare professionals are taught to keep going - no matter what the obstacles are - resilience ensues, but at what cost? This discussion article argues that team resilience comes in two forms: adaptive and maladaptive. We discuss how teams' exchange patterns can result in negative cycles of performance, resulting in harm to the self, one's team, and others (such as patients). We follow this discussion up by putting forward three pillars of adaptive team resilience grounded in job burnout's facets, integrating literature on sense of calling, emotional contagion, and team adaptability. Moreover, we consider the pivotal role of the healthcare hierarchy in these processes, and how individuals of differential rank can approach these pillars.

This study therefore explores how health professional graduates experience interprofessional interactions in practice and how these may be connected to their university-based IPE experiences. Interviews with seven health professional graduates who had participated in an 11-week IPE course as part of their pre-licensure degrees were analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The participants were able to articulate instances of effective and less effective collaboration from their professional experiences, making sense of these experiences with explicit reference to the themes of role understanding, collaborative working relationships, interprofessional communication, patient-centered care and contextual influences; all ideas introduced in their university-based IPE. They connected their understanding of roles, collaborative working relationships and interprofessional communication explicitly to their prior university-based IPE, identifying these learnings as foundational knowledge.
