Family carers' experiences and perceived roles in interprofessional collaborative practice in primary care: A constructivist grounded theory study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Chronic conditions can lead to physical, cognitive and social decline; thus, increasing an individual's dependence on family who assist with activities of daily living. Interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP), involving two or more health professionals working with the patient and their family, is one model of care for the high-quality management of individuals with chronic conditions in primary care. Nevertheless, family carers have reported a disconnect between themselves and healthcare providers in previous research. This study aimed to explore the experiences and perspectives of family carers for individuals with chronic conditions, regarding their involvement in IPCP.

Methods

Aspects of constructivist grounded theory methodology were used. Family care
