The perspective of allied health staff on the role of nurses in subacute care.
Robin DigbyDanielle BolsterAndrew PertaTracey K BucknallPublished in: Journal of clinical nursing (2018)
Lack of understanding of the nurses' role contributes to lack of respect for the nursing contribution to rehabilitation. Nurses have a key role in rehabilitation sometimes impeded by poor teamwork with allied health staff. Processes in subacute care wards need examination to facilitate more effective team practices inclusive of nurses. Progressing patients' independence in rehabilitation units involves activities of daily living with nurses as much as therapy-based sessions.
