“…The findings seem to be pointing to the existence of a significant negative correlation between patient death rates and physician-nurse collaboration, 10 as well as, a positive correlation between effective physician-nurse collaborative relationships and positive patient outcomes. 11 Studies have reported that poor physician–nurse cooperation could result in job dissatisfaction, a lack of autonomy, and higher possibility of intention to leave the job and poor health. 12,13…”

Introduction: Although nurses and physicians are known to share the common goal of improving the quality of health care, there has traditionally been a relational gap between them. The aim of the present study was to investigate the attitude of Iranian nurses about physician-nurse collaboration and its relationship with their job satisfaction. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 232 nurses were recruited from three educational hospitals of Zanjan University of medical sciences. Three questionnaires were used in this study; (a) Demographic data questionnaire, (2) Jefferson Scale of Attitudes toward Physician–Nurse Collaboration (JSAPNC), and (3) Minnesota Satisfaction Questionnaire. Results: In this study, the mean age of the participants was 33.22(SD= 6.13) years, 83.8% of nurses were female, 90.8% had a baccalaureate degree in nursing, and 82.5 % had rotational work shifts. The mean score of physician-nurse collaboration was found to be 48.07 (SD= 8.95) (ranged from 15 to 60), and the mean score of job satisfaction scale was 57.78 (SD = 14.67) (ranged from 20 to 100). There was a significant positive correlation between the attitudes toward physician–nurse collaboration and job satisfaction among the nurses (r=0.59, P≤0.001). Conclusion: The results indicated that the collaboration between nurses and physicians increases the job satisfaction of nurses working in clinical settings. Therefore, nurses and physicians should develop a new culture of collaboration with each other with the mutual goal of high quality patient care. Moreover, health care administrators should implement the strategies that strengthen the development of physician–nurse collaboration.

“…Akbal Ergun et al to determine physician-nurse cooperation, it was determined that the professional cooperation between these 2 groups is weak. 20 In our study, the strengthening of the collaborative understanding between physicians and nurses, 2 important members of the health care team, with the HFS method is considered as a remarkable finding. In another study conducted with medical and nursing students, students stated that simulation is valuable in understanding team roles and that working together should be continuous for all nursing and medical students.…”

The aim of this study is to determine the effect of scenario-based High-Fidelity Simulation (HFS) training on the level of team cooperation, problem solving skills and autonomy of senior nursing and medical students. Material and Methods: This research was carried out in the pre-posttest single-group experimental design model, at the Simulation Center. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 210 students studying in the last year of the faculty of health sciences, department of nursing (105) and faculty of medicine (105). Within the scope of the research, a total of 35 groups were formed in groups of 6 students. Each week, the training of a group was carried out in a total of 7 stages over 2 consecutive days. The study was carried out with a multidisciplinary team. Results: In the study, it was found that before the simulation training, the nursing students' attitude towards physician-nurse cooperation was more positive and their problem-solving skills were higher, but after the training, the positive attitudes of the medical students towards physician-nurse cooperation and their problem-solving skills increased, the autonomy level of the nursing students was lower before the simulation training, but the training It was found that thereafter it increased. After the simulation training, both nursing and medical students reported that they found the scenario applied to them sufficient and important in the training process. Conclusion: It has been concluded that with an effective scenario and a HFS training, the team cooperation, problem-solving skills and autonomy level of nursing and medical students can be increased.

Anticoagulation is currently the preferred and effective treatment for patients with recurrent spontaneous abortion (RSA), but, due to the prevalence of mood disorders in RSA patients and the high number of adverse effects associated with long-term medication, effective care measures are often required. In this study, 94 patients with immune-type RSA who were admitted to our hospital from January 2018 to June 2019 were selected and randomly divided into a control group and a study group of 47 patients each; both groups received low-molecular-weight heparin treatment after admission, and the control group received conventional nursing interventions during treatment, while the patients in the study group received integrated medical and nursing care interventions. Pregnancy outcomes, pre- and postintervention scores on the Self-Assessment Scale (SAS), Self-Depression Scale (SDS), and Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), levels of serum gamma-interferon (IFN-γ) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) and their ratios, complications, and patient satisfaction with the intervention were observed in both groups. The results showed that the success rate of fetal preservation in the study group (89.36%) was significantly higher than that in the control group (68.09%) ( P < 0.05 ). After treatment, SAS, SDS, and PSQI scores decreased in both groups, with the study group being lower ( P < 0.05 ). IFN-γ and IFN-γ/IL-4 levels decreased and IL-4 levels increased in both groups after treatment, with IFN-γ and IFN-γ/IL-4 being significantly lower and IL-4 levels being significantly higher in the study group than in the control group ( P < 0.05 ). The incidence of adverse drug reactions in the study group was significantly lower than that in the control group ( P < 0.05 ). Patients in the study group were more satisfied with all aspects of the intervention than the control group ( P < 0.05 ). These results suggest that nurses-physicians collaboration intervention may improve the effectiveness of low-molecular-weight heparin therapy in patients with immune-type RSA. It helps to improve patient pregnancy outcomes, mood, sleep quality, and immune function and increases patient satisfaction.
