Team behaviour in interprofessional collaboration during trauma alerts: A critical incident study from the perspective of radiographers.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Challenges in mutual awareness in interprofessional collaboration (IPC) along with relational and cultural barriers among professionals disrupt flow and delay decision-making in trauma care. Thus, this study explores team behaviours within IPC in trauma teams during trauma alerts from the perspective of radiographers.

Methods

A qualitative approach was used with a critical incident technique (CIT) design applying interviews with radiographers within three hospitals in Sweden from May 2022 to May 2023. CIT analysis was conducted with an abductive approach, applying an IPC core competency framework.

Results

The results present collaborative requirements in trauma care from radiographers' perspective narrating a distribution of team behaviours within trauma
