Interdisciplinary teamworking in rehabilitation: experiences of change initiators in a national rehabilitation hospital.
Article in BMC health services research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 7 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aimed to qualitatively explore the experiences of healthcare professionals implementing changes (as change initiators) and operationalizing interdisciplinary teamwork in a rehabilitation service within the Irish healthcare system. DATA SOURCES: Data for this study were collected through focus group discussions with change initiators involved in interdisciplinary team initiatives at a rehabilitation service in Ireland. REVIEW
methodsA reflexive thematic analysis was employed to analyse the focus group data, which involved identifying patterns and themes within the narratives provided by participants.
resultsThree overarching themes emerged from the analysis: 1. "Nature of the Battle for Change", 2. "Characteristics of the 'Status Quo' and Contradictions to IDT Working," and 3. "Power and Identity: Threats to Hierarchy and Status". These themes shed light on the challenges faced in implementing interdisciplinary teamwork, particularly the perceived threats to individual power and professional identity within hierarchical healthcare structures.
conclusionImplementing healthcare changes, especially in historically hierarchical healthcare systems is complex. Interdisciplinary team rehabilitation can challenge the status quo, posing adoption barriers. A nuanced, bottom-up approach is recommended, emphasizing long-term coalition building, continuous professional development, and early discussions about hierarchy and status. These recommendations offer practical guidance for stakeholders seeking to implement interdisciplinary, person-oriented approaches in rehabilitation practices, facilitating better anticipation and resolution of challenges, and ultimately improving care delivery and patient outcomes.
