An Integrative Review Of Interprofessional Teamwork And Collaboration Between Nursing And Social Worker; Scoping Review In Hospital Administrators Strategies

Abstract

Goals:

Community Health Workers (CHWs) help underprivileged people get better results. Their interaction among medical teams hasn't been well researched, though. The aim of this integrative review was to find interprofessional cooperation and collaboration between CHWs and health care teams by looking at published research reports that showed better health outcomes as a result of CHW intervention.

Methods:

A total of 47 studies spanning 33 years were reviewed using an integrative literature review methodology for evidence to support the following a[1]ssumptions of effective interprofessional teamwork between CHWs and health care teams: One or more of the following: (1) equality; (2) common knowledge of roles, norms, values, and team objectives; (3) collaboration; (4) interdependence; and (5) synergy.

Findings:

Out of the 47 research, 12 mentioned at least one effective interprofessional cooperation premise. All five interprofessional collaboration assumptions were supported by four research.

Conclusions:

The four papers that this integrative review found are models of successful interprofessional collaboration between CHWs and medical teams. The nature of interprofessional cooperation and teamwork in connection to patient health outcomes requires more research.
