Research on the Supply Mechanism of Palliative Care Multidisciplinary Teams from the Perspective of Pluralistic Synergy Theory
Abstract
Objective: To explore the experiences of palliative care multidisciplinary teams from the perspective of pluralistic synergy theory, aiming to enhance team collaboration. Method: Utilizing a qualitative research methodology, we conducted in-depth interviews with 15 palliative care team members to collect data. Results: The operational framework of palliative care multidisciplinary teams under pluralistic synergy theory involves: enhancing collaboration among team members; developing a comprehensive management model for the team; rationalizing the allocation of work tasks and durations; improving team communication and interaction through effective communication mechanisms and platforms; cultivating skilled professionals; and establishing a robust health record management system. Conclusion: The operational mechanism, informed by pluralistic synergy theory, advances the development of palliative care.
