Påverkas sammanhållning, koordination, kommunikation, och effektivitet i tillfälliga team, som inte är tränade tillsammans eller inte känner varandra sedan tidigare? Hur skiljer sig tillfälliga team från stabila team, som bland annat har möjlighet till gemensamt teambyggande?Team är ett populärt arbetsverktyg som blir allt vanligare inom företag och organisationer. Somliga team är stabila över tid och skapar därmed familjaritet, vi-känsla, normer, rutiner och tydliga roller och de har ofta hjälp av teambyggande. Andra team är tillfälliga och karakteriseras som innovativa, anpassningsbara, med få konflikter och bättre på kommunikation. Genom en litteraturstudie studeras tidigare forskning i vilken diskuteras hur prestationen påverkas av team beroende på om de är tillfälliga eller stabila.

Teamwork is a way of working and it increases more and more among societies and companies today, but it is not quite clear what the diffrences is from working in groups.

When the population is getting older, the need for complex care and nursing interventions in elderly care increases. To create a holistic view of the elder and their life situation, interprofessional team collaboration is often desirable and necessary. Teamwork is often described in positive terms, but previous research has shown that this work method is complicated and requires constant reflection and development. The purpose of this study was to investigate how elderly care teamwork is formed in the interaction between representatives of different professionals. To accomplish this purpose, we have studied how the team members define a well-functioning teamwork and difficulties, and how consensus is achieved in the team.

This bachelor thesis aimed to explore, in a qualitative manner, the relationship and the interaction between the hospital welfare officer and the rest of the nursing staff. We chose this subject because we wanted to explain the phenomena of being a medical outsider in the Nursing team. Our questions at issue were the following three: How does the hospital welfare officer define his occupational sphere and how do the rest of the nursing staff define it, according to the welfare officer himself? Is the welfare officer's relation to his own professional role and to the rest of the nursing staff affected by where his office is placed - secluded from or within the clinic? How does the welfare officer himself value his profession in relation to the rest of the nursing crew? To answer these questions we interviewed eight welfare officers, placed in two different hospitals. We used three different theories to explain the primary information.

För att precisera syftet fanns två frågeställningar: Varför uppstår konflikter inom team och hur påverkar konflikter teamets prestation?
