Availability of residents and preceptors for interprofessional practices: mixed methods study.

Background: (1) The level of availability influences hospital interprofessional practices.

Background: (2)  Difficulties in interprofessional communication impede collaborative practices.

Background: (3)  There is resistance to the adoption of interprofessional practices related to education.

Background: (4)  Residencies are important spaces to develop interprofessional practices.

Unlabelled: to evaluate the level of availability of residents and preceptors for interprofessional practices.

Unlabelled: mixed methods study of the concurrent triangulation type, carried out with residents and preceptors of a hospital Multiprofessional Residency in Health.

Unlabelled: more than 90% (n=186) of participants are highly available for interprofessional practices. However, practices instituted during undergraduate studies and the professional profile of those involved, especially with regard to the lack of communication between professions and openness to dialogue, were indicated as difficulties in implementing interprofessionality in the scenario investigated, which may negatively influence the availability of residents and preceptors.

Unlabelled: although residents and preceptors have high availability for the development of interprofessionality, certain factors make its implementation difficult, hindering collaborative work.
