“…High-status professionals may be an obstacle to the interprofessional collaboration adversely, since each group is accorded different interpretive privileges, depending on their status and responsibilities (Abbott, 1998). This type of hierarchical interaction is referred to as ''tribalism'' by Baxter and Brumfitt (2008). Participants remarked the fact that several different professions are involved in planning for each individual can both be an opportunity and an obstacle in individualized care planning.…”

Collaboration between different professions in community care for older people is often both difficult and complex. In this project, a participatory action research (PAR) was conducted in order to support the professions involved in the care for older people to develop individualized health and social care plans. Cases from daily work were discussed in different professional groups over a period of one year. A key finding was that lack of knowledge regarding the other professions' field of expertise and their underlying professional culture and values was a barrier in their collaboration. However, as the continuous reflective dialogue process progressed, the participants began to reflect more about the importance of collaboration as a prerequisite to achieve the best possible care for the recipient. This process of reflection led to the often complex needs of the care recipients being given a more central position and thus care plans being better tailored to each person's needs.

“…The organizational culture of the settings examined was mainly characterized by insufficient opportunities to have real interdisciplinary work 64 or better transdisciplinary work 65 and nurses often perceived that their autonomy and decision-making processes were restrained by rigid barriers with other professions, especially medicine.…”

Background: The concept of dignity can be divided into two main attributes: absolute dignity that calls for recognition of an inner worth of persons and social dignity that can be changeable and can be lost as a result of different social factors and moral behaviours. In this light, the nursing profession has a professional dignity that is to be continually constructed and re-constructed and involves both main attributes of dignity. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine how nurses described nursing's professional dignity in internal medicine and surgery departments in hospital settings. Research design: The research design was qualitative. Ethical considerations: This study was approved by the ethics committees of the healthcare organizations involved. All the participants were provided with information about the purpose and the nature of the study. Participants: A total of 124 nurses participated in this study. Method: The data were collected using 20 focus group sessions in different parts of Italy. The data were analysed by means of a conventional inductive content analysis starting from the information retrieved in order to extract meaning units and sorting the arising phenomena into conceptually meaningful categories and themes. Results: Nursing's professional dignity was deeply embedded in the innermost part of individuals. Regarding the social part of dignity, a great importance was put on the values that compose nursing's professional identity, the socio-historical background and the evolution of nursing in the area considered. The social part of dignity was also linked to collaboration with physicians and with healthcare assistants who were thought to have a central role in easing work strain. Equally important, though, was the relationship with peers and senior nurses. Conclusion: The organizational environments under scrutiny with their low staffing levels, overload of work and hierarchical interactions did not promote respect for the dignity of nurses. To understand these professional values, it is pivotal to comprehend the role of different health professions in their cultural milieu and the evolution of the nursing profession in diverse countries.

“…The work of Baxter and Brumfitt (2008) and Jones (2006) denotes the fact that health and social care professionals have their own value base which dictates how they carry out and also accomplish tasks (Carpenter, 2002). As stated earlier, Frost and Robinson (2007 p.191) found that professionals made use of different explanatory frameworks in order to decide upon the task and the nature of the intervention; for example social work practitioners made use of the developmental risk and protection model, health service practitioners the medical model and educationalist an attainment model.…”
