Health professionals' roles and scopes often overlap, creating a need for role clarity in interprofessional teamwork. Yet, such clarity does not mean roles are fixed within teams and some literature suggests role flexibility can enhance team functioning. Interprofessional practice competencies and learning activities often emphasize knowledge and definition of roles, but rarely attend to the dynamic nature of roles and influential contextual factors. This study explores role fluidity in interprofessional student groups using an activity theory framework. Using a collective instrumental case study approach, the authors examine the fluidity of one physical therapy (PT) student's role within 3 different interprofessional (medical, pharmacy, PT) student groups completing nursing home patient care plans. Field notes, group debriefing interviews, and care plans were collected and coded from all care planning sessions. Codes mapped to group-specific activity systems that compared role-influencing interactions and tensions. The PT student's role fluidity varied in each group's activity system, influenced primarily by system tensions from implicit rules (e.g., encouraging questions), division of labor (e.g., rigid profession-based task assignment), and tool use (e.g., computers). Attention to modifiable system elements, such as tool use and explicit rules of inclusivity, could foster role fluidity and improve interprofessional teamwork and learning environments.

跳出框框:通过活动理论的视角探索跨专业学生群体中的角色流动性

卫生专业人员的角色和范围经常重叠,因此需要在跨专业团队合作中明确角色。然而,这种清晰并不意味着团队中的角色是固定的,一些文献表明角色灵活性可以增强团队的运作。跨专业实践能力和学习活动通常强调知识和角色的定义,但很少关注角色的动态性质和有影响的背景因素。本研究使用活动理论框架探讨跨专业学生群体中的角色流动性。使用集体工具案例研究方法,作者检查了一名物理治疗 (PT) 学生在完成疗养院患者护理计划的 3 个不同跨专业(医学、药学、PT)学生群体中的角色的流动性。现场记录、小组汇报访谈、和护理计划是从所有护理计划会议中收集和编码的。代码映射到特定群体的活动系统,比较影响角色的互动和紧张局势。PT 学生的角色流动性在每个小组的活动系统中各不相同,主要受到来自隐性规则(例如鼓励性问题)、分工(例如,严格的基于专业的任务分配)和工具使用(例如,计算机)的系统张力的影响。关注可修改的系统元素,例如工具使用和明确的包容性规则,可以促进角色流动性并改善跨专业团队合作和学习环境。角色流动性在每个群体的活动系统中各不相同,主要受到来自隐性规则(例如,鼓励性问题)、分工(例如,严格的基于职业的任务分配)和工具使用(例如,计算机)的系统张力的影响。关注可修改的系统元素,例如工具使用和明确的包容性规则,可以促进角色流动性并改善跨专业团队合作和学习环境。角色流动性在每个群体的活动系统中各不相同,主要受隐性规则(例如鼓励性问题)、分工(例如,严格的基于职业的任务分配)和工具使用(例如,计算机)的系统张力的影响。关注可修改的系统元素,例如工具使用和明确的包容性规则,可以促进角色流动性并改善跨专业团队合作和学习环境。
