| Abstract |
Research on caregivers, defined as designated family members or support persons, in the medical intensive care unit (MICU) has primarily focused on their emotional needs and experiences, thus leaving a gap in knowledge related to their perceptions of team dynamics. To examine caregivers' perceptions of team interactions and competencies for interprofessional collaborative practice (IPCP) and overall satisfaction with the MICU team. The Support Person Jefferson Teamwork Observation Guide (JTOG)™ was administered to a convenience sample of caregivers in the MICU at a large urban academic medical center between May 2016 and December 2016. One hundred sixty-one JTOG surveys were completed. Caregivers agreed on the importance of healthcare professionals working together as a team to provide patient care (3.97 out of 4.0 on Likert response scale where 1 is "Not at all important" and 4 is 'Extremely important") and were satisfied with the MICU team (3.74 out of 4.0), positively evaluating the four core competencies for IPCP (3.55 for values/ethics, 3.58 for interprofessional communication, 3.61 for roles/responsibilities, and 3.64 for teams/teamwork) and the patient/family-centeredness sub-competency (3.58 out of 4.0). There was a strong positive correlation between caregivers' Global JTOG scores and overall satisfaction with the MICU team (r = 0.596, p < 0.01). Caregivers' comments about factors that affected their experience focused on aspects of interprofessional communication and patient/family-centeredness. Findings underscore the importance of interprofessional communication and providing patient/family-centered care. Assessing caregivers' perceptions of IPCP can provide a critical lens into team functioning and, thus, be used to identify teams' strengths as well as opportunities for improvement. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 7. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 21 September 2018.
All research outputs
#4,768,762
of 23,911,072 outputs
Outputs from Journal of General Internal Medicine
#2,957
of 7,806 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#88,304
of 333,500 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Journal of General Internal Medicine
#55
of 134 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,911,072 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 80th percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 7,806 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a lot more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 21.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 61% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 333,500 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 73% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 134 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 58% of its contemporaries.
