RESUMO
The problem of physicians-paramedical personnel interaction has long history. There are such reasons for misunderstanding as: actual stereotypes and arrogant attitude on the part of physicians, low assessment of medical nurse professional activities, gender inequality. The system of medical care becomes more complicated depending on advanced technologies, sophisticated specialization and disregard to human personality relations that complicates adaptation of specialists and team relationships. Therefore, it is important that all participants in patient medical care understand their individual roles and responsibilities, and realize their functions and actions affect all team members. The increasing tension within team results in decreasing in medical care quality and undermines confidence of patients to medical and paramedical personnel. These misunderstandings contribute to current shortage of nursing staff in Russia. The ways of resolving the "eternal conflict" based on national and international researchers experience are proposed.
