Inside the program: Taking the pulse of nurse-physician relationships
HCPro's Weekly Update on the ANCC Magnet Recognition Program®*, January 5, 2010
Taking the pulse of physician relationships is a good starting point for change. Doing so allows you to dissect the current relationships in your facility and make sense of the problems you face.
In their research surrounding nurse-physician relationships, Marlene Kramer and Claudia Schmalenberg took a closer look at nurse-physician relationships by defining exactly what nurses meant when they described any nurse-physician relationship as "good." The term meant different things to different nurses, but the researchers did find that power consistently played a large role in the relationships. They developed the following five categories to define the types of relationship:
- Collegial
- Collaborative
- Teacher-student
- Neutral
- Negative
Because the categories are based on a power difference, these scales tie in well with the oppression theory, which is also based on power.
