Interventions to improve team effectiveness within health care: a systematic review of the past decade.

Trust in older persons: A quantitative analysis of alignment in triads of older persons, informal carers and home care nurses.

Self-management by older persons could be influenced by the level of trust found in triads of informal carers, formal care providers and care recipient, the older person. Little research has been done on care providers' trust in older persons. This study aims to explore the level of trust that informal carers and home care nurses have in older persons, the extent of alignment in triads and the relationship between trust in older persons and self-management.

The different perspectives of patients, informal caregivers and professionals on patient involvement in primary care teams. A qualitative study.

Background: Patient involvement in the decision-making process, especially for chronically ill elderly patients, has become an important element of patient-centred primary care in many countries, including the Netherlands.

Who is on the primary care team? Professionals' perceptions of the conceptualization of teams and the underlying factors: a mixed-methods study.

However, it is unclear how primary care professionals conceptualize teams and what underlying factors influence their perception of being part of a team. Our research question is: What are primary care professionals' perceptions of teams and team membership among primary care disciplines and what factors influence their perceptions?

Methods: We conducted a mixed-methods study in the Dutch primary care setting.
