In the complex healthcare environment, which get more challenging at critical care units, nurses and physicians should work with the highest degree of collaboration to achieve the ultimate outcomes of patient care. That comes in along with maintaining the autonomy of healthcare professionals. Nurses, the largest workforce in healthcare systems, are a part of the nurse-physician collaboration dynamics, together with the struggle to maintain their professional autonomy.
The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship between nurse-physician collaboration and perceived autonomy among critical care nurses in Jordan.
A descriptive, correlational, cross-sectional design was used to answer the questions raised at the current study. Critical nurses (N=131) from two governmental hospitals in Jordan participated in the study through an online self-report questionnaire.
The results show moderate levels of nurse-physician collaboration (M=4.44/7.0 SD=1.6), and moderate levels of autonomy (M=2.88/4.0 SD=0.54) among critical care nurses in Jordan. The result also shows a moderately strong positive relationship between nurse-physician collaboration and perceived autonomy among nurses (r=0.431, p<0.001).
Working on promoting nurse-physician collaboration is found to be among the factors to enhance nurses' autonomy which may lead to better healthcare outcomes in terms of patient care, increased nurses' job satisfaction.
