RESUMO
The importance of perceiving and considering patients as healthcare partners has been increasingly promoted. Healthcare systems around the world are now highly interested in patient engagement, participation, collaboration, and partnership. Healthcare professionals are advised that patients, as autonomous beings, should be active in and responsible for a portion of their own care. The study presented here focused on patients' perceptions of interprofessional collaboration. It was conducted using the classic grounded theory methodology. The theory of protecting personhood emerged as the core concept of hospitalized patients, cared for by interprofessional healthcare teams. This theory encapsulates the process hospitalized patients go through to find balance in their sense of self, oscillating between personhood and patienthood in the unfamiliar hospital environment. The process consists of four stages: the stage of introspection, during which hospitalized patients become aware of their self as a person and as a patient; the stage of preservation, when patients find a balance between the sense of personhood and patienthood; the stage of rupture, wherein patients experience an imbalance between their sense of personhood and patienthood; and the stage of reconciliation, in which personhood is restored. The theory of protecting personhood offers insights into a better understanding of hospitalized patients' experiences and strategies, revealing the importance of relationships, and the driving force of empowerment. This study is about patients' perspectives of interprofessional healthcare teams. A grounded theory process allowed the emergence of patients' concerns and expectations, leading to a substantive theory grounded in the patients' data.

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this review was to gain a better understanding of the interprofessional collaboration between health care professionals from the patients' point of view during hospitalisation; the influence of interprofessional collaboration on patient care, safety, and well-being; and patients' perspectives of their role in the interprofessional collaboration process. INTRODUCTION: Interprofessional collaboration is a key factor in improving patient health care outcomes and safety through better communication between health care professionals, better teamwork, and better care coordination. However, implementing interprofessional collaboration in the clinical setting can prove complex. Patients are increasingly interested in becoming partners within the health care system. They have the potential to contribute to their own safety and to observe professionals during the care process, thus gaining a better understanding of the interprofessional collaboration process and facilitating changes in the behavior of health care professionals. INCLUSION CRITERIA: This review considered qualitative research and mixed-method studies. Participants were hospitalized patients. Studies were included when they explored i) patients' perceptions of interprofessional collaboration, ii) the influence of interprofessional collaboration on patients' care, safety, or well-being, or iii) patients' perceptions of their own role in interprofessional collaboration. Qualitative studies focusing only on the care process or families' points of view were excluded. METHODS: Searches of six databases including MEDLINE, CINAHL, Embase, Web of Science, PsycINFO, and Sociological Abstract, limited to English, French, and German were conducted from March 2017 to June 2018. Assessment of methodological quality of studies was performed using the JBI Qualitative Assessment and Review Instrument. Data were extracted using the standardized data extraction tool from JBI. Data synthesis following the JBI approach of meta-aggregation was performed. The level of confidence for each synthesized finding was established based on ConQual. RESULTS: A total of 22 studies were included, which resulted in 89 findings and 24 categories. Eight synthesized findings were generated: patients' perceptions of interprofessional collaboration based on personal experiences and observations; patients' experiences with effective or ineffective interprofessional communication; patients' experience with power imbalance and paternalistic attitudes; patients' perceptions of key factors for a confident relationship with the interprofessional health care team; patients' need for comprehension of discussions between health care professionals; patients' perceptions of their role in an interprofessional health care team; patients' perceptions of opportunities for empowerment in interprofessional health care teams; and patients' need for humanizing care from interprofessional health care teams. The level of confidence of synthesized findings varied from low to moderate according to ConQual. CONCLUSIONS: This systematic review synthesized the perspectives of hospitalized patients regarding interprofessional collaboration and their perceived role in collaborative practices. Hospitalized patients observe interprofessional collaboration, either directly or indirectly, and the way interprofessional collaboration is performed may impact both their care and their well-being. However, little evidence has been found regarding the impact of interprofessional collaboration on patient safety. Patients' perspectives on their perceived role is not unanimous; some patients want to play an active role in the collaborative process, whereas others prefer to trust the health care professionals' expertise. Health care professionals should consider patients' preferences and act accordingly regarding both the collaborative process and the inclusion of the patients in collaborative practices.

PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to identify and compare the needs of families of patients with acquired brain injury (ABI) in acute care and rehabilitation settings. DESIGN: A descriptive exploratory study was conducted. METHODS: Data were collected in the acute care setting and in the rehabilitation setting during meetings with families (n = 54) of patients with ABI using the Family Needs Questionnaire. FINDINGS: In both settings, families identified obtaining information about ABI or the patients' health as the most important need, followed by support from health professionals. CONCLUSION: For families, accessing information about the disease situation was important regardless of patients being in the acute care or rehabilitation phase. To provide tailored care for these families, it is important to assess information needs systematically early in the acute phase of hospitalization. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: A paradigm shift is desirable to include families in care, identify their needs, and support them in a more tailored way.

Background : in a neurosurgery unit, nurses selected the Critical Pain Observation Tool (CPOT) based on evidence to assess pain in brain-injured patients. However, months after implementation, nursing managers have observed an underutilization.Objectives : support a care team to overcome the pitfalls encountered during the implementation of the CPOT scale for brain-injured patients in neurosurgery unit.Methods : the Lescarbeau, Payette and St-Arnaud's Integrated Model of Consultation was selected. In addition to a scientific literature review, self-administered questionnaire and three interview guides were developed to gather the views of caregivers.Results : the process allowed to identify pitfalls at level of interprofessional collaboration CPOT scale and implementation processes. Improving interprofessional collaboration and adaptation of CPOT scale for brain-injured patients were withholding action priorities.Discussion : a rigorous methodology, the mutual recognition of clinical skills and the development of relationship of trust are prerequisites for the success of clinical innovation.Conclusion : the Integrated Intervention Model is a methodology of choice allowing to take into consideration both evidence and preferences of all actors at every step of the process led to informed choices and priorities setting for a successful implementation.
