Abstract
Introduction: In the past five years, interprofessional collaboration within the rehabilitation sector has gained significant prominence in the Italian context, emphasizing the efficacy of collaborative methodologies in the treatment of patients with complex disabilities. The recognition of eight rehabilitation professions classified under the first cycle degree class L/SNT2 (Health Professions) has established a foundation for a patient-centered and multiprofessional model of care. However, comprehensive studies regarding the perceptions and implementations of interprofessional collaboration in Italy are notably absent, creating a substantial gap in academic literature and presenting numerous avenues for future inquiry.
Aim: The aim of this study is to fill this gap by exploring the perception of interprofessional collaboration among healthcare professionals, identifying barriers and facilitators to effective collaboration and assessing the impact of education on team working provided for in the interprofessional model of care.
Tools and Methods: The shared experiences of a cohort of professionals from the University of Padua were analyzed utilizing qualitative methodologies, specifically Focus Groups and Grounded Theory. This analysis facilitated the development of theory grounded in empirical data, providing nuanced insights into interprofessional dynamics.
Results: The results highlight the critical importance of interprofessional collaboration and teamwork, showing the need to improve communication and knowledge sharing in order to optimize patient care. Emerging priorities include collaboration-centered education and organizational adaptation in order to handle complexities and limited resources, suggesting the expansion of collaboration models and the reorganization of rehabilitations environments.
The analysis highlighted the intricate nature of interprofessional collaboration as an ever-evolving phenomenon that necessitates the formulation of educational and organizational strategies capable of transcending existing barriers while embracing professional diversity.
Conclusion: In conclusion, interprofessional collaboration is essential for a rehabilitative and patient-centered approach, highlighting the need for health policies the encourages innovative interdisciplinary practices.
This study confirms the importance of interprofessional collaboration in improving patient care, promoting effective communication and collaboration among the different healthcare disciplines in the rehabilitation environment.
