title: Collaboration: a concept analysis.
abstract: Collaboration is a complex phenomenon, yet one that is of significance to nursing. This concept analysis presents definitions and defining characteristics of collaboration so that the concept may be used in the creation of operational definitions, or to develop and evaluate tools for measuring collaboration. Antecedents, consequences and empirical referents of collaboration are explored. Model, contrary and related cases are presented to clarify this concept further.
