“…Apart from identifying and discussing the types of roles, conversing about the participation level ( Thompson, 2007 ) is also part of clarifying informal caregivers’ position within interprofessional collaboration. Besides talking about the participation level, we recommend healthcare professionals to continuously monitor ( Galvin, Valois, & Zweig, 2014 ) and regularly evaluate the interprofessional collaboration with informal caregivers ( Careau, Bainbridge, Steinberg, & Lovato, 2016 ), and request informal caregivers for feedback about the outcomes of interprofessional collaboration among healthcare professionals. This process could pinpoint the additional collaborative roles of informal caregivers, which they perform in response to the lack of responsibility of healthcare professionals or adequacy interprofessional collaboration among healthcare professionals ( Jarrett, 2009 ; Astrid Stephan et al, 2015 ).…”

A qualitative study was conducted to examine the experiences of informal caregivers of persons with dementia pertaining interprofessional collaboration with and among healthcare professionals in home care (HC), nursing homes and during home to nursing home transitions in palliative care. Semi-structured interviews were performed with bereaved informal caregivers. Data were analysed using a critical realist approach. The two main themes that emerged were: ( 1) Informal caregivers’ roles in interprofessional collaboration with healthcare professionals and ( 2) Informal caregivers’ perception of interprofessional collaboration among healthcare professionals. Informal caregivers’ roles were identified in three collaboration processes: information exchange, care process and shared decision-making. Interprofessional collaboration among healthcare professionals was more perceptible on the collaboration outcome level (e.g. being up to date with the health status of the person with dementia; acting proactive, being adequate and consistent in the care process; and giving a warm welcome) than on the collaboration processes level (e.g. communicating and being involved in team processes). Our study revealed that intrinsic and extrinsic factors and interprofessional collaboration among healthcare professionals affected informal caregivers’ collaborative roles. In summary, our study showed that informal caregivers have important roles as team members in the continuity and quality of palliative care for persons with dementia.

“…From an expanded and holistic perspective (Golom & Schreck, 2018), healthcare workers with different backgrounds who work together in multidimensional processes have the potential to improve healthcare (Careau et al, 2016) and deliver the highest quality of care across settings (WHO, 2010). Interprofessional collaboration is considered essential for effective care of individuals with complex needs (D'Amour & Oandasan, 2005;Drinka, 2016;Reeves, 2010;WHO, 2010).…”

Complex healthcare needs can be met through effective interprofessional collaboration. Since 2014, Swedish Child Healthcare Services (CHS) include universal team-based visits with a nurse and a physician who perform such visits at the age of 4 weeks, 6 months, 12 months, and 2.5 to 3 years, as well as targeted team-based visits to address additional needs. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of team-based visits in the Swedish CHS and possible associations between team-based visits and contextual factors that may affect its implementation. A national cross-sectional survey was conducted using a web-based questionnaire distributed to all reachable nurses, physicians, and psychologists (n =3,552) engaged in the CHS. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and binary and multivariate logistic regressions. The response rate was 32%. Team-based visits were reported by 82% of the respondents. For nurses and physicians, the most frequent indication was specific ages, while for psychologists it was to provide parental support. Respondents working at Family Centers were more likely to perform team-based visits in general, at 2.5 to 3 years and in case of additional needs, compared to respondents working at Child Health Centers (CHC) and other workplaces. In conclusion, team-based visits are well implemented, but the pattern differs depending on the contextual factors. Targeted team-based visits and team-based visits at the age of 2.5 to 3 years are most unequally implemented.
