From Stigma to Recognition in Dual Diagnosis Care: A Multilevel Conceptual Framework
Enhancing interprofessional collaboration in social welfare services for youth with complex needs: A scoping review
Interprofessional collaboration (IPC) is widely promoted to improve support for youth with complex and multiple needs, yet fragmented and poorly coordinated services persist. This scoping review seeks to explore how IPC has been conceptualised in social welfare services, describe factors that shape collaborative processes, and identify areas where further research is needed. Informed by complexity theory, IPC is conceptualised as a dynamic, adapt…

Integrating interprofessional education in health and social care curricula to equip our future workforce – qualitative findings from senior leaders
The increasingly complex health and social care needs of the world's population require interprofessional collaboration. Interprofessional education (IPE) can prepare students for interprofessional collaborative practice.

This study investigated the …

The study examines the experiences of prisoners (n = 9) and frontline workers (n = 9) with the support provided b…

Students and staff involved in international exchange projects, such as with The Norwegian Agency for Exchange Cooperation (NO…
University teachers’ experience of students interprofessional education: Qualitative contributions from teachers towards a framework
Health and social care professionals need to be equipped to work together. Universities have a duty of care to their students to incorporate interprofessional education into the curricula. Here, we present findings from focus groups to delve deeper into the issues previously identified. Three focus group interviews with teachers were conducted—two in Norway and one in the UK. We identified four themes: Organizational commitment. Values related to…
The Responsibility Team—A Way to Ensure Children’s Right to Participation
Children’s effective participation seems to be difficult to achieve in practice. Although the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child came into force in 1989, recent research reports that effective participation rarely occurs. This qualitative study explores a group of adolescents’ views on participating in child welfare ‘responsibility teams’ (RTs) in Norway. The two specific foci are experiences regarding influence on their own sit…

Adolescents’ Subjective Views about Interprofessional Team Participation: A Q-methodological Study
Background: One common arrangement in the Norwegian child welfare system is the interprofessional collaborating team, not unlike the English core group.

Few studies about interprofessional collaboration focus on views of service users and, in particular, those of child and adolescent service users. Aims and objectiv…
Weaving together different disciplinary perspectives in an exploration of integration between mental health and criminal justice systems in Norway
Offender mental ill health is a major societal challenge. In Europe, there are unacceptably high numbers of people in contact with the criminal justice system who have mental health issues with almost 9 out of 10 prisoners demonstrating signs of at least one mental disorder. This is far higher than the average population level of mental illness and as such represents an area of severe health inequality within the EU. This is attributable to less …
Perceptions of Interprofessional Collaboration
Interprofessional collaboration has been described both as an opportunity to meet the demands of a complex society, but also as a potential threat to professional autonomy. Interprofessional relationships are central in collaborative efforts, and there is a need to investigate the psychosocial processes involved. In the present study, we have investigated how professionals in a collaborative effort perceive collaboration, and how these perception…
Applying aspects of generalizability theory in preliminary validation of the Multifacet Interprofessional Collaboration Model (Pincom)
The methodology of generalizability theory is well suited for data with a complex facet structure as displayed in the present study. We recommend researchers to give domain specifications thorough attention when measuring IPC
Exploring perceptions of interprofessional collaboration in child mental health care
Further, revision of the questionnaire is discussed to make it fit for use in large scale studies with the purpose of enhancing (a) the validity of the PINCOM model, and (b) the quality of mental health services that are based on IPC
