Get it together: Issues that facilitate collaboration in teams of learners in intensive care.
BACKGROUND
The study describes issues that facilitate collaboration in teams of learners in an interprofessional education unit in intensive care.


METHODS
A descriptive qualitative study design was applied using semi-structured interviews based on the critical incident technique and qualitative content analysis. Nineteen participants, eight learners in their specialist training, nine supervisors and two head supervisors in Sweden identified 47 incidents.


RESULTS
Teams of learners having control was the core issue. Motivation, time, experiences and reflection were central issues for facilitating collaboration.


CONCLUSIONS
Efficiently training teams how to collaborate requires learners having control while acting on their common understanding and supervisors taking a facilitating role supporting teams to take control of their critical analysis.
