Purpose

Team collaboration is essential to ensure the quality of care and patient safety when critically ill patients are transferred from an intensive care unit (ICU) to a general ward. Measuring team collaboration in the patient transfer process can help gain insights into how team collaboration is perceived and how it can be improved. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and testing of a questionnaire aiming to measure perceived team collaboration in the patient transfer process from ICU to the general ward. This study also aims to analyze the results to see how the survey could help improve team collaboration within ICU transitional care.

Design/methodology/approach

Statements, factors and main areas intended to measure perceived team collaboration were developed from a theory. The questionnaire was tested in two ICUs at two hospitals located in Sweden, and the results were analyzed statistically.

Findings

The results showed that the questionnaire could be used for measuring perceived team collaboration in this process. The results from the survey gave insights that can be useful when improving team collaboration in ICU transitional care.

Research limitations/implications

The collaboration between two research subjects, Nursing Science and Quality Management, has given new perspectives in how cultural and systemic differences and opportunities can help improving team collaboration in ICU transitional care, by shifting focus from the individual to team, culture, system, process and continuous improvement.

Practical implications

The developed questionnaire can be used to measure perceived team collaboration and to identify areas for improving team collaboration in the ICU transitional care process.

Originality/value

There is a sparse amount of research about measuring team collaboration in ICU transitional care, and this study contributes to filling this research gap.

着重于患者转移过程中团队合作的测量仪器的开发

目的

当重症患者从重症监护室（ICU）转到普通病房时，团队协作对于确保护理质量和患者安全至关重要。在患者转移过程中评估团队协作可以帮助您洞悉团队协作的方式以及如何改进团队协作。本文的目的是描述调查表的开发和测试，旨在测量从ICU到普通病房的患者转移过程中感知到的团队合作。这项研究还旨在分析结果，以了解该调查如何帮助改善ICU过渡护理内的团队协作。

设计/方法/方法

旨在衡量感知到的团队合作的陈述，因素和主要领域是从一种理论中得出的。在瑞典的两家医院的两个ICU中对问卷进行了测试，并对结果进行了统计分析。

发现

结果表明，该问卷可以用于衡量在此过程中团队协作的感觉。该调查的结果提供了一些见解，这些见解在改善ICU过渡护理中的团队协作时可能会有用。

研究局限/意义

护理科学与质量管理这两个研究主题之间的合作为文化和系统差异与机遇如何将重心从个人转移到团队，文化，系统，流程和方法上，从而提供了新的视角，以探讨文化和系统的差异和机遇如何帮助改善ICU过渡护理中的团队合作。连续的提高。

实际影响

所开发的问卷可用于衡量在ICU过渡护理过程中感知到的团队合作并确定可改善团队合作的领域。

创意/价值

关于衡量ICU过渡护理团队合作的研究很少，这项研究有助于填补这一研究空白。
