Interprofessional Teamwork Collaborative Healthcare Delivery System Paper Getting Started: Interprofessional teams are part of practice trends we see developing in all aspects of care delivery. Consider you own work environment (or recent clinical setting).
For this assignment, consider the concept of interprofessional teamwork and patient outcomes.
Look to your current workplace as an example. (If you are not currently employed, look to a past workplace or clinical practice area.)
Apply the components of the iCARE concept to interprofessional teams in a short paper. (Body of the paper to be 3 pages, excluding the title page and references page)
iCARE components are:
C ompassion
A dvocacy
R esilience
E vidence-Based Practice (EBP)
How could you contribute to an interprofessional team and patient outcomes through nursing actions of: compassion, advocacy, resilience, and evidence-based practice?
Select one scholarly nursing article from CINAHL as a resource for your paper. Additional scholarly sources can be used but are optional.
Use APA format throughout, particularly in citations and on the References page.
Please paraphrase throughout. One short quote is permitted.
The prepared paper template is RECOMMENDED for this assignment.

Abstract
Recent evidence shows that resilience can buffer the negative impact of workplace
stressors on nurses and is linked to favourable patient outcomes. However, the com‐
parative effectiveness of different contributing factors to nurses’ resilience has not
yet been examined. Our objective was to examine and compare the impact of indi‐
vidual characteristics, external factors and coping strategies on nurses’ resilience. A
descriptive cross‐sectional study was conducted. Data were collected from 1,012
Greek nurses working in eight hospitals in northern Greece. Resilience, anxiety and
depression, were measured using existing validated self‐ report instruments. In terms
of coping strategies, this study used the “Mental Preparation Strategies Scale” to as‐
sess the mental preparation strategies employed by nurses before the beginning of
their shift. Educational level, anxiety and the overall use of mental preparation strat‐
egies were the main predictors of nurse’s resilience ([F = 52.781, p = 0.000, R2 = 0.139,
Adjusted R2 = 0.137]). Resilient nurses were better educated {(b = 0.094. 95% confi‐
dence interval [CI] 0.038, 0.162)}, had lower anxiety ([b = −0.449, 95% CI −0.526,
−0.372]) and used more often mental preparation strategies before the beginning of
their shift ([b = 0.101, 95% CI 0.016, 0.061]). Findings provide information about
which subgroups of nurses are more vulnerable in terms of resilience, i.e. less edu‐
cated nurses, or nurses working in internal medicine wards.
