| Abstract | ||
| Intra professional nursing collaboration refers to intra professional interaction between nursing members. Conceptual clarity about Intra professional nursing collaboration gives empirical direction for future research and a theoretical underpinning for the myriad studies about nurses and their collaboration. Purpose: The present study was conducted with the aim of clarifying and defining the concept of intra professional nursing collaboration, its attributes, antecedents, and consequences. Methods: In this study, the steps of concept analysis were as follows: Select a concept, determine the aims of the analysis, identify various definitions of the concept, determine the concept attributes and identify the antecedents and consequences. All studies between the years 2010 and 2019 were reviewed. For purposes of this concept analysis, PubMed, Google search engines, Ovid, and Pro Quest, were scanned and searched using the keywords. Conclusion: Intra professional nursing collaboration is a complex voluntary and dynamic process requiring effective communication, individual responsiveness and shared responsibility in taking care of patients. Willingness to participate, opportunity to collaborate, and knowledge of one’s roles are the antecedents of nursing collaboration. The outcomes of nursing collaboration are improvements in patient safety, patient satisfaction, patient care, and decreases in error rates, patient mortality, patient length of stay, and healthcare staff turnover rates. Recommendation: There is a need to explore the determinants that encourage intra professional nursing collaboration. Also there is a need to explore the influence of external work environment on nursing collaboration. | ||
