Abstract Background An integrative cooperation of different healthcare professional is a key component for high quality health services. With an aging population and many with long-term conditions, more health tasks and follow-up care are being transferred to primary care and locally where people live. Interprofessional collaboration among providers of different professional designations will be of increasing importance to optimizing primary care capacity in years to come. There is a call for further exploration of models of interprofessional collaboration that might be applicable in Norwegian primary care. The aim of this study was to explore experiences of interprofessional collaboration between primary care physicians and nurses working in primary care by applying an intervention for people with type 2 diabetes. Specifically, this study was designed to strengthen and gain deeper insight into interprofessional collaboration between primary care physicians and nurses in primary care settings. Methods We applied Interpretive Description as a research strategy. The participants within this study were primary care physicians and nurses from four different primary care practices in the western and eastern parts of Norway. We used semi-structured telephone interviews for collecting the data between January and September 2021. Results The analysis revealed two key features of the primary care physicians and the nurses experience with interprofessional collaboration in primary care practices. The first involved managing the influence of discrepancies in their expectations of IPC and the second involved becoming aware of the competence they developed that allowed for better complementarity consultation. Conclusions This study indicates that interprofessional collaboration in primary care practice requires that primary care physicians and nurses clarify their expectations and, in turn, determine how flexible they can become in changing their usual primary care practices. Moreover, findings reveal that nurses and primary care physicians had discrepancies in expectations of how interprofessional collaboration should be carried out in primary care practice. However, both the nurses and primary care physicians appreciated the blending of complementary competencies and skills that facilitated a more collaborative care practice. They experienced that this interprofessional collaboration represented an essential quality improvement in the primary care services. Trial registration The trial is registered 03/09/2019 in ClinicalTrials.gov (ID: NCT04076384). |
