How Context and Program Conditions (CPC) affect collaboration in Integrated Care: using the CPC-framework and Structural Equation Modelling to examine conditions for interprofessional collaboration in Danish Primary Care

Research output: Contribution to conferenceConference abstract for conferenceCommunication

Introduction: Increasing demand for interprofessional collaboration has raised the interest in the influence of different conditions. However, we know little about the magnitude of interactions between conditions. This is important, as it enables identifying the most important conditions.

This paper aims to develop and adapt an existing framework based on a study of homecare services for elderly in Denmark.

Theory: The Context and Program Conditions for interprofessional collaboration in integrated care (CPC)-framework conceptualises relationships between program and context conditions at professional and organisational levels; and measures the interrelationships between the conditions in addition to the conditions influence on the quality and effectiveness of communication. Program conditions directly relate to the collaboration model, while context conditions surround the collaboration.

Methods: This was a sequential mixed-methods study, conducted between August and December 2021 in Herning and Holstebro municipality. A pilot-study helped to validate the adapted questionnaires. Subsequently, a multilevel cross-sectional survey study was conducted.

The study focused on interprofessional collaboration between home care and home nursing units. The study population was all frontline staff in the units, and their managers. To analyse data CB-SEM was used, based on prior hypothesised relationships and indexes.

Results: Preliminary results indicate that the questionnaires have appropriate psychometric properties and satisfy the assumptions of the CPC-framework. This makes the CPC-framework well-suited for assessing how different types of conditions influence the quality and effectiveness of communication in interprofessional collaborations in a Danish primary care setting.
