Introduction: Understanding the social networks of professionals in psychiatric hospitals and communities working with Persons With Alzheimer’s (PWA) disease helps tackle the knowledge management in patient care and the centrality of team members in providing information and advice to colleagues.

Objectives: To use Social Network Analysis (SNA) to confirm or reject the hypothesis that psychiatric professionals have equal status in sharing information and advice on the care of PWA and have reciprocal ties in a social network.

Methods: The sample consisting of 50 psychiatric professionals working in geriatric psychiatry in the UK completed an anonymous online survey asking them to select the professional categories of the colleagues in the interprofessional team who are most frequently approached when providing or receiving advice about patient care and gathering patient information. SNA is both a descriptive qualitative analysis and a quantitative method that investigates the degree of the prestige of professionals in their working network, the reciprocity of their ties with other team members, and knowledge management.

Results: The social network graphs and numerical outcomes showed that interprofessional teams in geriatric psychiatry have health carers who play central roles in providing the whole team with the knowledge necessary for patient care; these are primarily senior professionals in nursing and medical roles. However, the study reported that only 13% of professionals had reciprocal ties with knowledge sharing within teams.

Conclusion: The current research findings show that knowledge management in interprofessional teams caring for PWA is not evenly distributed. Those with apparently higher seniority and experience are more frequently consulted; however, other more peripheral figures can be equally valuable in integrated care.

阿尔茨海默氏症团队的社交网络分析:临床回顾和在精神病学中的应用,以探索跨专业护理

简介:了解精神病医院和社区中与阿尔茨海默氏症 (PWA) 患者打交道的专业人员的社交网络有助于解决患者护理中的知识管理问题,以及团队成员在向同事提供信息和建议方面的核心地位。

目标:使用社交网络分析 (SNA) 来确认或拒绝精神科专业人员在共享有关 PWA 护理的信息和建议方面具有平等地位并在社交网络中具有互惠关系的假设。

方法:由在英国老年精神病学工作的 50 名精神病学专业人士组成的样本完成了一项匿名在线调查,要求他们选择跨专业团队中在提供或接受有关患者护理和收集建议时最常接触的同事的专业类别患者信息。SNA 既是一种描述性的定性分析,也是一种定量方法,用于调查专业人员在其工作网络中的声望程度、他们与其他团队成员的关系的互惠程度以及知识管理。

结果:社交网络图表和数值结果表明,老年精神病学的跨专业团队有医疗保健人员,他们在为整个团队提供患者护理所需的知识方面发挥着核心作用;他们主要是从事护理和医疗工作的高级专业人员。然而,该研究报告称,只有 13% 的专业人员与团队内的知识共享建立了互惠关系。

结论:目前的研究结果表明,负责 PWA 的跨专业团队的知识管理分布不均。那些资历和经验明显更高的人更常被咨询;然而,其他更外围的数字在综合护理中也同样有价值。
