TL;DR
Critical care physicians and nurses have discrepant attitudes about the teamwork they experience with each other, this discrepancy includes suboptimal conflict resolution and interpersonal communication skills.
Abstract
Critical care physicians and nurses have discrepant attitudes about the teamwork they experience with each other. As evidenced by individual item content, this discrepancy includes suboptimal conflict resolution and interpersonal communication skills. These findings may be the result of the differences in status/authority, responsibilities, gender, training, and nursing and physician cultures.
