Perspective infirmière : revue officielle de l'Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec
-
Nursing practice in family medicine groups (FMGs) is a major issue in the implementation of this new healthcare organization model in Quebec. Using a constructivist qualitative research approach, a case study of a FMG in a region of Quebec looked at how the partners involved in the project defined nursing practice, and highlighted the similarities and differences in their views. ⋯ Nurses view nursing practice from a client-base approach, whereas doctors view it from the perspective of how services are organized. The study found that trust is the fundamental element that makes interdisciplinary collaboration possible.
