“…The two professions are at times paradoxically positioned, within the literature and the social world, as both superior and inferior to one another in respect to patient care. Perceptions and conceptualizations of nursing in relation to medicine often reflect the social positioning of these professions throughout history (Liaschenko & Peter, 2004;Pietroni, 1991;Porter, 1995;Sweet & Norman, 1995).…”

“…Despite the fact that collaborative interprofessional relations have been espoused as a keystone for effective care and healthy workplaces, true collaboration remains elusive. Depending on the definition of collaboration, certain antecedents may be impossible within the historical structure of healthcare, most notably lack of equality across the health professions (Henneman, 1995;Kramer & Schmalenberg, 2003;Pietroni, 1991). The way that healthcare is organized and health professionals are socialized and educated continues to present significant barriers to collaboration (Hall, 2005;Leathard, 2003).…”

For almost half a century, research has identified that effective teamwork is essential in order to enhance care provision and health outcomes for patients. Although the value of teamwork is well-recognized in healthcare, the historically rooted dynamics of workplace relationships create a myriad of challenges to creating collaborative teams. Understanding the history of interpersonal dynamics between health professionals can provide direction for future interprofessional education and collaboration strategies. The aim of this paper is to provide a historical overview of the social positioning of nursing and medicine in the context of interprofessional collaboration. Few professions work as closely as nursing and medicine. Despite the well-recognized benefits of interprofessional collaboration, these two professions are often socially positioned in opposition to one another and depicted as adversarial. This analysis will seek to advance our understanding of the historical roots between these two professions and their relationships with and among each other in relation to career choice, early socialization and patient care delivery. An exploration of the historical social positioning of nursing and medicine can provide an enhanced understanding of the barriers to interprofessional collaboration and inform future successes in interprofessional education and practice among all health and social care professions.

“…For example question nine states 'Individuals in other professions think highly about my profession'. Evidence from Carpenter (1995b) and from Pietroni (1996) suggest that the way one profession perceives another varies depending on the source and target profession. Therefore if responses to the above statement are requested from a nurse about a doctor or from a nurse about a social worker the rating is likely to be different.…”

A systematic review of interprofessional education (Freeth et al., 2002) revealed that there were many weaknesses in the current body of knowledge of interprofessional education outcomes. One reason for this was the lack of good quality study designs for evaluating the outcomes of interprofessional education. This paper discusses the range of tools that were found in the literature and describes the production and validation of two questionnaires that can be used as part of an interprofessional evaluation strategy. Firstly, a Generic Role Perception Questionnaire which can be used for measuring the perception of the role of a range of professions and a Nursing Role Perception Questionnaire used specifically for measuring the perception of the role of a nurse. Repertory grid technique was selected to elicit constructs from a multiprofessional group of final year undergraduate students. This pool was then used to develop the two questionnaires. Factor analysis, internal consistency and test re-test measures are used along with evidence of validity. The questionnaires were found to have acceptable validity and reliability and could be used as part of an IPE evaluation strategy to measure changes in professional role perception in an undergraduate population.

“…Recognition of the need for practitioners to participate in PQSW education has increased as government, employers and employees have identified the need for continuous professional development (CPD) in the UK since the early 1990s (Pietroni, 1991). England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own arrangements and organisational structures in which to develop a CPD pathway (Higham, 2006).…”
