They observe eye contact, comforting and other behaviours based on experience rather than by making use of recognised instruments. Their assessments are influenced by professional development opportunities, a heavy workload and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Collaborative interdisciplinary meetings may increase the mutual respect between health professionals and provide more knowledge about the patient.
The Northern Norway Regional Health Authority has specifically focused over time on enhancing health-related competence and research. This has resulted in a greater number of researchers and research fellows, and an increase in the number of published articles.
Healthcare personnel in interdisciplinary teams believed that registered nurses made a distinct and recognised contribution to the collaborative effort. In particular, they valued the registered nurses’ somatic knowledge and their milieu therapy expertise.
