Nurse-physician collaboration: a poststructuralist view.
The impact of various world views on nurse-physician collaboration is discussed in this paper. The poststructuralist perspective, in particular that of Michel Foucault, is presented as a means of advancing collaborative relationships. This approach allows nursing to move beyond the limitations and structure imposed by traditional philosophies. Free of these encumbrances, nursing can achieve its goals as a practice discipline, which includes collaboration with physician colleagues.
