Abstract:Objective To develop an intervention program based on a shared mental model to enhance the communication and col-laboration skills of nurses in multidisciplinary teams in stroke rehabilitation wards. Methods Using the shared mental model as the theoretical framework,the intervention program was preliminarily draft-ed through literature review to establish a theoretical foundation and qualitative research to identify clinical needs.The Delphi method was then used to revise and refine the program. Results Based on literature review and qualitative research,intervention elements were extracted across four dimen-sions:equipment,tasks,team interaction and team members,forming the initial draft of the intervention program.Two rounds of consultations were conducted with 18 experts,achieving a 100%valid response rate in both rounds.The expert authority coefficients were 0.87 and 0.90,respectively.In the second round of consultation,the variation coefficients for the importance scores of each item ranged from 0 to 0.20(overall Kendall's W=0.272,P<0.001),and the variation coefficients for feasibility scores ranged from 0 to 0.21(overall Kendall's W=0.275,P<0.001).The final intervention program included five first-level indicators,eight second-level indi-cators,and 29 third-level indicators,aligning with the four dimensions of the shared mental model. Conclusion The intervention program was developed to enhance the communication and collaboration skills of nurses in multidisciplinary teams in stroke rehabilitation wards based on the shared mental model.
