| Strengths: The survey developed to assess collaboration in the nursing profession was shown to be reliable, valid, and acceptable in practice. (Kaiser, et al., 2018) The nurse in charge of the team did an excellent job of coordinating the efforts of the other members, ensuring that everyone did their part and worked together as a unit . (Kaiser, et al., 2018) Through repeated readings of each interview, all three writers were well acquainted with the data gleaned from the participants' responses to the goals and questions, which provided rich information about the participants' experiences with collaboration. (Ballangrud, 2020) The research found that defined responsibilities, transparency from RNs while delegating and overseeing NAs, and trusting and open communication boosted collaboration.(Walker, 2021) | Weakness There was no transparency in communication when RNs delegated and supervised. (Walker, 2021 the response rate was below forty per cent, and some of the participants worked in the team for less than six months, making it hard to understand the team's dynamics fully. (Kaiser, et al., 2018) Even after recognizing the potential changes after receiving feedback, there was no study conducted to determine the impact of feedback received following the study. (Ballangrud, 2020). |
| Opportunities Even after recognizing the potential changes after receiving feedback, there was no study conducted to determine the impact of feedback received following the study.(Ballangrud, 2020) Results show that the team members felt that they worked well together and always respected and valued one another as team members. (Kaiser, et al., 2018) The research showed that successful delegation depended on effective communication, teamwork, positive interpersonal relationship, and sharing of knowledge. (Walker, 2021). | Threats Based on the study, there was no satisfaction and efficacy of the physicians in providing the necessary leadership skills which can help in promoting true teamwork(Kaiser, et al., 2018) With the narrow scope of study and participants relied on the study, there is higher chances of inappropriate conclusion made from the findings(Ballangrud, 2020). Research found that some nurses had issues with accountability. The interpretations and how it was practiced differed based on the units’ environment. (Walker, 2021) |
