“…Similar to numerous previous studies using the NTS (Kaiser & Westers, 2018; Polis et al., 2017; Rochon et al., 2015), a shared mental model was the highest scoring subscale, indicating that the participants in our study had a clear understanding of their roles and responsibilities towards achieving a common goal. In addition to the clear role delineation and task assignments in nursing, the scope of nursing practice in hospital could have offered a mental model for RNs and ENs to collaborate with each other.…”

“…Using the NTS, several studies have been conducted to assess teamwork among nurses, identifying that the shared mental model (SMM) subscale scored the highest and the team orientation the lowest (Kalisch & Lee, 2009; Polis, Higgs, Manning, Netto, & Fernandez, 2017; Rochon, Heale, Hunt, & Parent, 2015). The subscales on backup and trust were ranked intermediately (Kaiser & Westers, 2018; Polis et al., 2017).…”

Aim To examine the perceived level of nursing teamwork and factors influencing teamwork among enrolled nurses (ENs) and registered nurses (RNs) in general ward settings. Background The nursing care delivery model includes RNs, ENs and others who work as a team to deliver patient care. The potential impact of teamwork on nursing care highlights the need to explore the work of nursing teams. Design A mixed‐methods exploratory study. Method Quantitative and qualitative data were collected concurrently from ENs and RNs in 2018. Two hundred and forty‐eight (n = 248) nurses completed the Nursing Teamwork Survey. Sixteen nurses participated in focus group discussions. Qualitative data were reported following COREQ guidelines, while quantitative data followed the STROBE guidelines. Results Both ENs and RNs scored highest for the shared mental model subscale but lowest for the team orientation subscale. Factors including qualification level, years of working experience, perceived job staffing adequacy and job satisfaction were found to influence teamwork. Three themes emerged from the qualitative findings: expectations of each other's role, delegation practices and interpersonal relationships. ENs and RNs differed in their expectations of their role in basic patient care activities and faced power struggles related to delegation practices. Open and structured communication was deemed essential in building interpersonal relationships. Conclusion The ENs and RNs have clear understanding of their personal roles and responsibilities towards achieving a common goal. However, teamwork may be improved with a shared mental model in performing basic nursing care tasks, mutual support for workload management, better delegation practices, effective communication, enhanced interpersonal relationships and better team orientation. Relevance to clinical practice Nurse managers and educators need to work collaboratively to foster positive delegation practices in clinical practice supported by applicable team training that enhances mutual trust, backup behaviours and collective orientation in nursing teams.

“…Survey questions were grouped into subscales for analysis, that reflected the concepts of the Big Five 6. For example, one finding of this study was that the nurses from the surgical unit rated the items in the subscale of ’team leadership' (one of the concepts in the Big Five) significantly lower than in the other units.…”

“…Performance effectiveness along with different methods that are important to improve the performance of multidisciplinary team members serve as the topic of interest for various researchers [2], [6]- [8]. Rochon [9], while studying the significance of teamwork and staffing, emphasized the value of teamwork strategies in enhancing the patient care. The study elaborated that the factor is crucial as it is directly related to job satisfaction as well as quality of patient care.…”

Background: Critical Care Unit (CCU) serves as the most complex unit of the health care sector. The performance of multi-disciplinary team members working in CCU is affected through various factors such as; ineffective leadership, lack of communication, inappropriate team structuring etc. This study aims to evaluate the performance effectiveness of multidisciplinary team members working in the complex, risky and stressful environment of the critical care unit of Alansar General Hospital (AGH). Methods: A descriptive correlational study design is used. Data were collected through a structured questionnaire provided to a sample of 56 nurses working in CCU. Results: Findings indicated that the team working in CCU face problems due to ineffective conflict handling. Competent leadership is effective in providing appropriate team structure. Also, communication between team members helps in making useful decisions by using the knowledge gained through team communication. Conclusion: Multidisciplinary teams must be provided effective training to promote quality communication, knowledge sharing, and proper team structuring to improve quality of health care.
